Books with Retrospective Diagnoses of Historical/Famous Figures

[edit | edit source]
[edit | edit source]

In this work, Fitzgerald proposes that a genetic link underlies both autism and genius. He examines several historical men believed to have had autism, including Lewis Carroll, Éamon de Valera, Keith Joseph, Srinivasa Ramanujan, Ludwig Wittgenstein, and W. B. Yeats, among others.[1][2]

Individuals diagnosed in this book:

The Genesis of Artistic Creativity: Asperger's Syndrome and the Arts (2005)

[edit | edit source]

Explores the link between Asperger syndrome and creative brilliance in art and literature. Fitzgerald suggests that certain famous artists and writers showed signs of autism. For example, he posits that Hans Christian Andersen and George Orwell may have been autistic.[3][4]

[edit | edit source]

A scholarly examination of eleven historic figures across science, art, and politics, analyzing their lives through the lens of Asperger syndrome.[20] Fitzgerald argues that each subject's creative or visionary accomplishments were interwoven with Asperger traits.[21][22]

Individuals diagnosed in this book (11 case studies):[23][24]

  • Robert Louis Stevenson (novelist) -- Profiled for possible Asperger traits influencing his imaginative literature

Unstoppable Brilliance: Irish Geniuses and Asperger's Syndrome (2014)

[edit | edit source]

Focuses on nine influential figures in Irish history (revolutionaries, writers, scientists) and contends that their exceptional achievements arose in part from Asperger's syndrome.[25][26] The authors detail the characteristic "quirks" and autistic traits that may have predisposed each person to greatness.[25][27]

Individuals diagnosed in this book (9 Irish figures):[25]

  • Robert Emmet (Irish nationalist revolutionary) -- Identified as an "Asperger genius" with single-minded idealism
  • Patrick Pearse (Irish revolutionary leader) -- Noted for obsessive patriotic vision and rigid personality traits
  • Éamon de Valera (statesman and president) -- Described as aloof, intensely focused, and socially awkward -- consistent with Asperger's[27]
  • Robert Boyle (17th-century scientist) -- His solitary nature and fixation on experiments are interpreted as autistic traits
  • William Rowan Hamilton (mathematician) -- Profiled (here again) for Asperger-like creativity and eccentricities that drove his mathematical genius
  • Daisy Bates (ethnographer) -- Noted for obsessive dedication to her anthropological work and social eccentricity
  • W. B. Yeats (poet) -- Analyzed as a possible Asperger case, given his mystical obsessions and difficulty with interpersonal relationships[27]
  • James Joyce (novelist) -- Identified with autistic traits such as singular literary vision and strained social ties[27]
  • Samuel Beckett (playwright) -- Profiled for characteristic Asperger qualities like minimalistic focus, routine, and social withdrawal[27]

The Mind of the Artist: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Autism, Asperger Syndrome & Depression (2015)

[edit | edit source]

A comprehensive psychobiographical study of 60 famous artists, actors, writers, filmmakers, and other creative figures, analyzing how neurodevelopmental disorders and mood disorders shaped their lives and art. Fitzgerald's profiles span from Shakespeare to Judy Garland to modern entertainers, highlighting traits of ADHD, ASD (Asperger's), and depression in each subject's personality. This work underscores a recurring theme that certain mental differences can fuel creative genius, albeit often at great personal cost.

Individuals profiled in this book (60 artists and entertainers):

Actors (Stage & Screen):

Film Directors:

Composers & Conductors:

  • Leonard Bernstein -- Noted for hyper-focus on music and mercurial personality; possible links to mood instability or ADHD-like energy
  • Leopold Stokowski -- Noted for hyper-focus on music and mercurial personality; possible links to mood instability or ADHD-like energy

Freud on Trial: Psychotherapy Today (2020)

[edit | edit source]

A short book in which Fitzgerald re-examines Sigmund Freud's life and work, controversially arguing that Freud himself had Asperger's syndrome.[28][29] Fitzgerald suggests that Freud's intensely analytical nature, narrow interests (e.g. his mono-focus on psychoanalysis), and interpersonal difficulties can be understood in the context of autism spectrum traits.

Individual diagnosed in this book:

  • Sigmund Freud -- Fitzgerald postulates that Freud "had Asperger's Syndrome", and asserts that understanding Freud's autistic traits is key to understanding his development of psychoanalytic theory[28]

Other Works (Theoretical and Clinical Studies)

[edit | edit source]

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Creativity, Novelty Seeking and Risk (2008)

[edit | edit source]

An exploration of the links between ADHD and creativity. Fitzgerald discusses how traits like impulsivity and novelty-seeking, often seen in ADHD, appear in highly creative or risk-taking individuals.[30] The book examines case examples and research showing the positive and negative outcomes of these traits in entrepreneurs, artists, and others.

Young, Violent and Dangerous to Know (2010)

[edit | edit source]

A forensic psychiatry study focusing on youth violence and its ties to neuropsychiatric conditions.[31] Fitzgerald analyzes case histories of violent young individuals (including serial killers), proposing that some may have had undiagnosed "autistic psychopathy" (Asperger's) contributing to their criminal behavior.[32] This work is notable for linking autism spectrum traits with extreme antisocial outcomes in rare cases.

Asperger Syndrome: A Gift or a Curse? (2005)

[edit | edit source]

An edited volume discussing whether Asperger's should be seen as conferring special talents or as a disabling condition (or both). It includes clinical insights and personal narratives. Fitzgerald and Lyons present the dual perspective implied by the title, examining how the cognitive strengths of Asperger's (logical thinking, memory, focus) can lead to extraordinary abilities, even as the syndrome's challenges create significant life difficulties.[33]

Succeeding in College with Asperger's Syndrome: A Student Guide (2004)

[edit | edit source]

A practical guide for young adults on the autism spectrum navigating third-level education. It covers strategies for academic success, independent living, and social integration at college. Fitzgerald and co-authors draw on clinical experience to provide advice on coping with the sensory and social demands of campus life while leveraging the strengths of students with Asperger's.

Succeeding with Interventions for Asperger Syndrome Adolescents: A Guide to Communication and Socialisation in Interaction Therapy (2006)

[edit | edit source]

A follow-up handbook focusing on therapeutic interventions for teenagers with Asperger's.[34] It introduces an "Interaction Therapy" framework to improve communication and social skills, offering step-by-step techniques and case examples. Fitzgerald and colleagues target the core social difficulties of Asperger's, providing guidance for clinicians and parents on helping adolescents develop interpersonal understanding.

Handbook of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (2007)

[edit | edit source]

A comprehensive academic reference on ADHD. As co-editor, Fitzgerald brings together research on the etiology, assessment, and treatment of ADHD across the lifespan. The handbook covers genetic factors, neuroimaging findings, comorbidities, and practical management strategies, serving as an essential resource for professionals in mental health and education.

Recent Advances in Autism Spectrum Disorders (2013-2014)

[edit | edit source]

Two open-access research anthologies compiling cutting-edge developments in ASD research up to the 2010s. Fitzgerald curates contributions from numerous experts covering topics such as early diagnosis, neurobiology, intervention approaches, and the expanding understanding of the autism spectrum. These volumes highlight the paradigm shift towards neurodevelopmental and neurobiological perspectives in autism, and include international research findings.[35][36] (Both volumes are available free online, reflecting Fitzgerald's advocacy for accessible scientific knowledge.)

Psychopathy: Risk Factors, Behavioral Symptoms and Treatment Options (2014)

[edit | edit source]

An edited scholarly book examining psychopathy from multiple angles.[37] Fitzgerald introduces research on the developmental and neurobiological risk factors of psychopathic personality, cultural and forensic aspects, and current approaches to treatment or management of psychopathy. The collection includes discussions on whether some psychopathic traits overlap with autism spectrum profiles or are entirely distinct -- a topic Fitzgerald has engaged with in his forensic psychiatry work. This volume is aimed at researchers and clinicians dealing with the challenges of identifying and treating psychopathic behavior.
