Awesome Aspies

If you look around, you may be surprised who has Asperger's Syndrome or Asperger's Traits.

Most people are aware that Albert Einstein, Bill Gates, Mozart and Vincent Van Gogh are likely candidates for Asperger's Syndrome.



Albert Einstein stuck out his tongue for a photographer on his 72nd birthday in 1951. 

Einstein was a theoretical physicist who changed the world with his theories. Like his Special and General Theories of Relativity, Quantum Theory and Unified Field Theory.
