Subject: RE: musicians with Asperger's Syndrome
The problem in diagnosing Autism, and in particular Aspergers Syndrome, is that each person is individual ...... they can have some or all of the symptoms listed above ...... these can be from very mild (almost unnoticable) to very severe where the individual is completely incapable of normal communication.
To answer your question sed ..... Mozart has always seemed to me a prime candidate for diagnosis as suffering from Aspergers ..... as indeed many of these individuals are extraordinarily talented at an early age.
