Garbage science? I guess someone is calling the educators and psychologists who specialize in gifted/learning disabled people, practitioners of "garbage science"

No, I'm calling YOUR reasoning about Einstein garbage, and saying it brings other people's work into undeserved disrepute. (Neither of the links you provided says anything at all in support of your assertion).

Do you really want people given diagnostic labels on so little information as you've been doing with Einstein? You've been saying that the syndromes you've been talking about are organic, probably caused by variations in brain anatomy, and not to be defined behaviourally - and here you are confidently diagnosing them based on no more than anecdotes about behaviour.
