This book has gotten mixed reviews from people: critics saying the book is poorly written, based on a lot of impressions/opinions and not thorough research... and then readers like myself who approached it as an interesting idea... That all the quirks Jefferson was known for may have been due to the fact that he was on the autism spectrum. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Historians have long remarked on Thomas Jefferson's "peculiarities." But it took author Norm Ledgin, whose son has Asperger's Syndrome, to see what others did not. In this intriguing book, Ledgin carefully constructs a convincing case for the likelihood that Thomas Jefferson had Asperger's Syndrome. He matches Jefferson's behaviors with five diagnostic criteria for Asperger's: social impairment, preoccupation with "special interests," impairment in nonverbal communication, lack of emotional reciprocity, and inflexible adherence to non-functional routines. He also addresses other well-known signs of Asperger's, such as failure to recognize social cues, need for calming pressure, and indifference to peer pressure. A fascinating read!
