|
| | '''AspiePedia''' is a clinical‑literary encyclopedia that re‑examines extraordinary historical figures through the lens of '''Asperger syndrome and high‑functioning autism'''. Drawing on the diagnostic frameworks developed by Michael Fitzgerald (''Genius Genes'', ''The Mind of the Artist'', ''The Genesis of Artistic Creativity''), each entry reconstructs a person’s life and work not as speculation, but as a disciplined reading of documented traits: social detachment, monotropic obsession, ritualised routines, sensory atypicality, and symbol‑driven creativity. |
|
| |
|
| {| class="wikitable"
| | Our goal is not to retro‑diagnose. It is to offer a '''new historiography''' – one that sees cognitive difference not as a flaw to be hidden, but as a structure that shaped the poems, theorems, films, battles, and moral dramas of the past. |

| | == Why “AspiePedia”? == |
| |
| | |
| # [[Konrad Adenauer|Konrad ''Adenauer'']]
| | While the DSM‑5 folded Asperger syndrome into the broader autism spectrum, recent genetic, clinical, and molecular studies have re‑established its distinctiveness in heritability, cognition, sensory processing, and gene network profiles. We use “Aspie” deliberately – as a scientifically defensible and community‑preferred term. For a detailed justification with citations, see [[Why AspiePedia?]]. |
| # [[Hans Christian Andersen|Hans Christian ''Andersen'']]
| | |
| # [[Elizabeth Anscombe|Elizabeth ''Anscombe'']]
| | == How entries work == |
| # [[Diane Arbus|Diane ''Arbus'']]
| | |
| # ''[[Archimedes]]''
| | * '''Clinical framing''' – Each entry uses Michael Fitzgerald’s ten‑point heuristic. |
| # [[Hannah Arendt|Hannah ''Arendt'']]
| | * '''No formal diagnosis required''' – We analyse documented behaviours and life patterns, not guesswork. |
| # [[Frank Auerbach|Frank ''Auerbach'']]
| | * '''~1000 words''' – Enough for depth, short enough for focus. |
| # [[A.J. Ayer|A.J. ''Ayer'']]
| | * '''Moral neutrality''' – Autism is a cognitive structure, not a virtue or a vice. We include celebrated and condemned figures alike, with forensic clarity, not excusal. |
| # [[Charles Babbage|Charles ''Babbage'']]
| | |
| # [[Nora Barnacle|Nora ''Barnacle'']]
| | == Featured entries == |
