The Author of Diagnosing Jefferson introduces twelve more high-achieving role models who have made significant contributions to our world. Role models include: Einstein; Mozart; Darwin; Jefferson; Welles; Levent; Robeson; Curie; Mendel; Mozart; Bartok; Sagan; Gould; and Hartford. All exhibited traits common to people with Asperger's Syndrome. Today's young people and adults with AS can also make a difference if they are given support, opportunities, and the freedom to explore their abilities. Many accomplished people have been loners, self-taught, obsessed by an idea, and known for their lack of social skills. How many of them would be diagnosed with Asperger's today? Norm Ledgin makes convincing arguments for an Asperger's role in each of their extraordinary lives.Helpful chapters include:A Challenge for Parents, Teachers, and Health-Care ProfessionalsThe Lonely Perspective of the Asperger's ChildDealing with Fixations that Drive Us NutsA Ride in the Time Machine of LogicFinding and Offering Relevant Role ModelsSurprising and Strange ParallelsA New Look at the Concept of GeniusOur Discomforts, Their RightsChoosing to be Gentle on Their MindsParents as Role Models
