Neurotypical Einstein Combed His Hair.
Yeah. This was in ThAutcast. I laughed. I am always annoyed when someone makes a definite statement about exactly how someone from history who we can never meet was non-neurotypical, but that they were? In some cases, like Albert Einstein, that much is pretty obvious. I wouldn't be surprised to hear that he was, in fact, autistic, but we can't be sure. But... neurotypical Einstein probably wore socks and probably never asked a neighborhood girl where he lived. Neurotypical Einstein is not the Einstein we had.

Hmmm...I remember posters up with "Albert Einstein: too clever for words. Dyslexic." when I was younger.
ReplyDeleteSo...basically, we're pretty sure that Einstein was neurodivergent but we have no clue what exactly was going on beyond that?
Pretty much lol.
