I messaged everybody back and so I'm always open for DMs okay.
So you're 10 influential historian icons, um, who are famous and
they have Asperger's syndrome.
All right.
Let's get into.
Okay.
So the first one most notable, um, probably the most
common is Albert Einstein.
He's an influential scientist.
Um, and he, you know, the theory of relativity and yeah.
He, uh, pretty much, it's just an absolute gem of a guy.
Weinstein was very notably, a, um, a bit of a.
A different thinker and he was a, yeah, scientists did amazing things.
And, uh, yeah, he was also on the autism spectrum because basically it
was this, these were all done by people looking back at people who, uh, historic
historical figures and the icons, and then kind of like applying the same kind of
diagnostic criteria as they would today.
So, um, that being said, our Einstein would be on the autism spectrum.
If you'd run through the diagnostic today, Number two is sir Isaac
Newton know as new and you know, the guy with the Apple, he fell down.
He was kind of like the guy who discovered gravity and, um, you
know, again, an influential scientist who are kind of a bizarre history.
He, he actually at one point made, um, his one Lord create a staircase into the.
Back of his house.
We wouldn't have to see anybody on the way in, um, because he
wanted to just avoid human contact in all possible possible cases.
He was just a very eccentric, but very brilliant man and an influential
scientist, obviously for, for weights and physics, physics, and chemistry.
But in terms of Isaac Newton, again, The things like social isolation and, uh,
trying to get away from, you know, social situations and his bizarre personality
did mark him down as being an autistic person who would have been diagnosed
with something like Asperger's syndrome.
If he was still alive today.
Okay.
So number three is Hans Christian Andersen.
Now Hans Christian Anderson is a very famous author, a very impactful author.
Actually, I think he he'd done like so many books, but Hans Christian
Anderson again, was put through the same criteria and said that he had autism.
So I always find that.
The Hans Christian Anderson was very interesting because it's nice to see
authors being, uh, kind of on the autism spectrum and things like that,
because a lot of autistic people do have issues with reading and writing.
So that was kind of cool.
Okay.
So number four is Charles Darwin who is actually a very famous philosopher
and they famous scientists and he kind of came up with that whole kind
of theory of evolution on the fit, survive, and all that kind of stuff.
So, yeah, Charles Darwin an absolute legend of a guy and just all around.
Probably gangster.
He was awesome.
Okay.
So five is Thomas Jefferson.
Now Thomas Jefferson is an early influential American party.
Um, and he was just absolutely just, you know, crazy.
Yeah.
He just came up with all those kinds of crazy stuff, but he was very influential.
He was very, um, intense.
He was very intellectual and have some great insight into things,
especially American politics.
It was kind of like his.
So of course, you know, and they said he was on the spectrum and
I do believe them from things I've read about Thomas Jefferson.
And he's quite interesting.
Okay guys, number six is Andy Warhol.
Now Andy Warhol's very famous photographer, probably like.
The most influential photographer of all time.
And he was so assets to be creative, but also bizarre.
And because of this, it led him to be looked upon as being someone who
would be on the autism spectrum.
He was put through the diagnostic criteria and an Andy Warhol was just a very, very,
very famous photographer who was a super influential, I think like he's probably
the most influential photographer ever.
I think, you know, his art is just insane.
Okay guys, number seven is Nikola Tesla, obviously an amazingly clever scientist.
Nikola Tesla is the reason we have electric going through a grid systems out
the certain currency that they are in.
And it's just, he just amazing, fantastic guy, very odd guy.
Very fantastic.
And of course he had every single trait of autism that you could think of.
Um, and, uh, just very clever guy, but, uh, very troubled also.
Okay.
Number eight is an interesting one.
This is Steve jobs.
Steve jobs is the creator of Apple for Apple Macintosh computers.
And, um, he, uh, along with a guy called Steve Wazniak, set it up,
but now it was just like Steve jobs till the end, until he passed away.
Sadly.
But Steve jobs was a very eccentric man.
Very interesting.
Couldn't hold down relationships.
Um, how to wash his feet before going on stage actually
overseeing, uh, the documentary.
That's sorry that wasn't documentary.
It was a film documenting his life.
It was like a reenactment.
And that he like wash his feet in the toilet bowl before going on stage.
Cause he just have to wash his feet.
Uh, which was just, just an interesting guy, quite bizarre, but interesting.
But it wasn't terrible relationships didn't have any emotion.
It was all about his work and uh, definitely, um, on the autism spectrum.
And this has been speculated for a very, very long time.
Okay, so number nine is Louis Carroll.
Now he again is a very famous children's book author from a long time ago, but
Lewis Carroll, um, displayed all of the hallmarks of an autism spectrum
disorder, which led people to believe that like now lose Carol will be diagnosed
with an autism spectrum condition.
Okay.
So last but not least on my list here is number 10, Stanley Kubrick.
Now Stanley Kubrick was the movie director for 2001 Space Odyssey . Um, and just.
The whole thing.
Like he, I think he also did the shining was Stephen King.
Um, but Stanley Kubrick was, is just a very influential, very,
very talented creative director of movies and stuff like that.
And, um, again, his intense kind of quirks and his differences and the way
he thinks really put one line to being seen upon as being a, an autistic person,
which is just absolutely fantastic.
And I think he's awesome.
So, yeah, that, that's really interesting.
