			== '''Welcome to AspiePedia''' ==
			AspiePedia is an encyclopedia devoted to the study of historical figures through the lens of autistic or Asperger (Aspie) cognition. It is inspired by the work of Dr. Michael Fitzgerald, who diagnosed thousands of autistic individuals as a clinical psychiatrist in Ireland and who has published dozens of books and hundreds of papers meticulously describing the autistic traits of deceased geniuses throughout history. One of its objectives is to systematize Fitzgerald's work in a Wikipedia-type format to quickly and easily find biographical information about these figures as relates to Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), along with the evidence supporting the diagnoses.

	'''~~Welcome~~ to AspiePedia~~'''~~		Fitzgerald himself has used straightforward language to diagnose these individuals, as shown by this quote from his book ''Genius Genes'': "There is little doubt that [Isaac] Newton showed high-functioning autism/Asperger Syndrome." AspiePedia will thus not shy away from this type of diagnosis, even though the topic is considered "controversial". Since Wikipedia and other encyclopedias have neglected or refused to point to the autistic traits of these figures, AspiePedia aims to challenge that neurotypical bias and explicitly describe individuals who exhibit those traits as autistic or "Aspie".

	AspiePedia is a cognitive-historical encyclopedia devoted to the study of historical figures through the lens of autistic cognition, Asperger syndrome, and related neurodevelopmental structures. Inspired initially by the retrospective diagnostic work of Michael Fitzgerald, the project has evolved beyond simple retrospective diagnosis into a broader investigation of cognitive architecture, monotropic attention, symbolic fixation, recursive thought, and systemizing intelligence across history.		== '''Why “AspiePedia”?''' ==
			The term “Aspie” is retained as a cultural and cognitive shorthand for a recognizable style associated with certain traits, such as: intense specialization, unusual perceptual focus, system-building behavior, and atypical social cognition. Although DSM-5 absorbed Asperger syndrome into the broader autism spectrum, many of the cognitive patterns historically associated with Asperger profiles remain analytically useful.
	AspiePedia is not primarily concerned with deciding whether a historical figure “really had autism” in the modern clinical sense. Historical diagnosis is inherently uncertain. Instead, the project examines whether characteristic cognitive patterns appear consistently throughout a person’s life, behavior, and creative work.

Based on the diagnostic frameworks developed by Michael Fitzgerald—including ''Genius Genes'', ''The Mind of the Artist'', and ''~~The Genesis of Artistic Creativity~~''—this project documents the lives and works of extraordinary figures whose cognitive architecture, affective style, social detachment, symbolic obsessions, and recursive thinking reveal the unmistakable structure of Asperger cognition.
