== Fitzgerald's verdict == Fitzgerald explicitly concludes that Joyce was autistic, rejecting the earlier view β advanced by critics and psychiatrists including Carl Jung β that Joyce had schizophrenia. <blockquote style="border-left:3px solid #b4b2a9; margin:1em 0; padding:4px 0 4px 16px; font-style:italic;"> "The correct diagnosis for James was autism (Walker & Fitzgerald, 2006; Fitzgerald & Hawi, 2008; Lyons & Fitzgerald 2013; Fitzgerald 2013, 2021, 2022, 2024)." <div style="font-style:normal; font-size:85%; color:#5f5e5a; margin-top:4px;">β Fitzgerald, ''Schizophrenia and autism in Joyce's and Barnacle's families'' (2024)</div> </blockquote> Fitzgerald locates the genetic lineage for schizophrenia in the Barnacle family β the relatives of Joyce's wife Nora β rather than in Joyce himself, whose diagnosis he identifies as autism/Asperger's syndrome.
