Guest guest Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 http://www.autism-behavior-strategies.com/Famous-People-With-Autism.html There are many famous people with autism or autistic characteristics. Some of them are Albert Einstein, Bill Gates, Mark Twain, Dickinson, Beethoven, Van Gogh, Mozart, Jefferson, and Edison.I would also have to say Temple Grandin is pretty popular in the world of autism. Temple wrote many books on her life and experiences with autism. She is also a college professor and speaker at autism conferences. I found her very interesting to listen to. The average human processes 13 to 30 cycles of brain wave energy per second in their conscious state. A child with autism can process up to 250,000 cycles of brain wave energy per second in their conscious state. I state this to inform you that some people on the autistic spectrum are overly smart and show it in their own special way. I would say that the people I have listed above and other famous people with autistic traits were practically geniuses. This meant that they were able to go beyond what we would consider common understanding and take it to the next level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
