Newton, Einstein or Michelangelo … are all famous geniuses in human history, but few people know that they carry many abnormal neurological symptoms.
Serbian-American inventor, physicist, mechanical engineer, and electrical engineer Nikola Tesla was famous for his daring and crazy thoughts, which isolated him from the scientific world.
As a child, Tesla began to show symptoms of a psychotic. He often hallucinated. Nikola always has unpleasant nightmares at night and always tries to get rid of the obsessions by substituting other fantasy images.
Not only that, but the Serb-born physicist also has a few strange habits. For example, before eating Tesla calculates the exact volume of his dinner. Or will he neatly arrange 18 napkins in a pile of towels before touching the food, because 18 is divisible by 3 (the number is always associated with him).
Tesla does everything related to the number 3. He makes himself walk around a house 3 times and count steps as he walks. When you stay at the hotel will choose a number of rooms that can be divisible by 3.
Considered one of the greatest scientists of all time but also the most unpredictable. Newton’s mood can change very quickly, from mania to depression, so experts say he may have bipolar disorder with psychosis.
His difficulty communicating could also be evidence of autism. In addition, the letters left by Newton have one thing in common, which always contains crazy delusions, showing signs of schizophrenia.
Mozart was a genius composer, capable of composing music at the age of 5. However, according to scientists Mozats suffers from many neurological disorders including Tourette’s syndrome and Asperger’s syndrome.
He is often obsessed with inanimate objects and also often repeats some gestures and acts like an autistic person. Mozart also used to jump on the table on the chair squealing and somersaulting like a cat. His letters show the manifestation of parody – the communication direction of people with autism.
Ludwig Wittgensten was a famous Austrian philosopher who made significant contributions to the development of the language of philosophy, mathematical theory and logic. He was born into a wealthy but unusual family. His father was an unpleasant man, easily angered and had three children, Ludwig’s brothers all committed suicide.
Ludwig himself also has strange behaviors. The most famous achievement of his career – the work “Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus” (Thesis of Philosophy-Logic) is considered as a typical example of the thinking process of autistic people. He is easily angered and claims to not see “humanity” in anyone.
Michelangelo is one of the greatest artists of antiquity. He was a multi-talented artist, his talent evident in his sculptures, paintings, and poetry.
To be able to create a work with such grandeur requires the artist to have a high concentration. According to the 2004 “Journal of Medical Biography,” that ability comes from a mental disorder, specifically Asperger’s syndrome.
As a teenager, Michelangelo had difficulty building relationships, lacked communication skills, and lived a lonely life with only a few friends. He worked alone and was completely obsessed with his works. In addition, male members of his family also had similar symptoms.
Einstein, the father of relativity, had common symptoms of Asperger’s (a mild form of autism). Since the age of 7, Einstein has lived alone and often repeats statements. Einstein was also famous for his confusing utterances.
Even into adulthood, the unusual behavior continues. Although he made many new friends, had countless love affairs and spoke on political issues, he was still considered an Asperger’s. These people have no social skills, are obsessed with complex problems, and have many difficulties in communication.
Referring to Irish literature, no one does not know James Joyce. With his immortal works, James Joyce is considered one of the most influential writers on the new literary movement of the early 20th century.
In his youth, he displayed great intelligence and strange obsessions that are quite evident in works such as “Ulysses” and “Finnegan’s Wake” written in a way that is so puzzling that some scholars say. that it is linked to autism. In an interview, he once said: “My aim is to make the reader spend a lifetime understanding my works”.
Godel was an excellent logician and mathematician. Godel does not appear to be mentally ill, but he always has hallucinations of being poisoned by others.
The hallucinations worsened with age, so much so that he could only eat food cooked by his wife and had to let her taste it first. Even when his wife was hospitalized, Godel still dared not eat anything and starved to death.
