pointed out for being like that. Most of the times people
diagnose themselves or their near and dear ones after
getting educated over this and that’s when the realisation
kicks in. There are numerous examples that might help
you to try and understand this even in a better way.
Starting from Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (Shumaker,
2017), he kept on repeating his actions and kept his
feet and hands in motion and today this composer and
musician is a legend.
Tim Burton was diagnosed by his wife when they were
watching a documentary on Autism. It is said when Tim is
working he doesn’t hear others but that’s what makes him
such an excellent director.
Andy Warhol as we all know and remember by the soup
cans? That simple repetitive pattern that changed things
and brought in a whole new Era of art.
Temple Gradin as he stated himself “The thing about
being Autistic is that you gradually get less and less
autistic, because you keep learning, you keep learning
how to behave. It’s like being in a play; I’m always in a
play”.
Albert Einstein had difficulty with social interactions, very
tactile sensitivity, was very intelligent yet had difficulty in
learning at school. He was called different all the time
and today he is the reason we aren’t afraid to be different
anymore.
Charles Darwin’s actions and facts were supportive
enough to say that he was autistic. Some of them being
writing letters and avoiding conversations while getting
obsessive, compulsive and ritualistic for his work. He is
the reason we know what biological evolution actually is.
Sir Isaac Newton was more of a small talk kind of a
person. He strongly relied on schedules. His sticking to
routines gave us his laws of motions to which our science
revolves upon.
Satoshi Tajiri who is the creator Pokemon makes it a
lesser known fact that he is actually Autistic.
