It's not to say that every mathematician has Aspergers Syndrome, but certainly a number of them seem to be incredibly introverted and it would seem that they do have a certain level of autism. That's a great point though. Some autistic people - autistic savants - could have a perspective that enables them to do math in a way that most people couldn't, but schizos are just crazy, which you can't be in order to have logical trains of thought. Cool observation.Anahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11574541754739587199noreply@blogger.com
