[lbo-talk] Was Einstein Autistic?

[Grant Lee]

It's a nice story but... There was a similar story doing the rounds about
Spinoza a few years ago. What these "autism experts" tend to forget is the
historical context of these "autistics" lives... I mean, the back-projecting
of "autism" onto someone like Newton, who lived so differently to us, is
(IMO) pretty farcical in terms of serious scholarship.
