Albert Einstien was a Neuro-Typical

Post Reply New Topic

He had half a dozen girlfriends, do you know any aspies who are playboys like this? i dont think there is even one!

A male aspie is lucky to get one girlfriend and they hold on to them for dear life usually from what i could see.

I think that he had such major issues with sexuality shows he was seriously not NT

how is being a playboy normal? you think most NT's have a bunch of lovers? I think you give to much credit.

edit: I notice your first thread was used to criticize those who desired to not be cured of autism, now this straight after, hmm

I'm sure that pretty soon the playboys of this site (HOW??) will be commenting. But don't worry, I'm certainly not one of them.

Only NTs smoke pipes. I know because I know everything about aspies because I know me, and I don't smoke a pipe.

so your saying you have had many women in your life also?

1.) Yes, I do.

2.) Baseless conjecture.

3.) Stop generalizing. What may be true for many is not true for all.

No, I'm saying I don't smoke a pipe.

Know many world-famous scientists? Fame can get you a lot more girlfriends than the six you say Einstein had.

Six is really nothing for someone with Einstein's fame and stature. I think this is actually evidence in favour of him being an aspie. I've almost had 6 girlfriends, and I'm terrible at getting girlfriends.

But you have an awesome beard that helped you get them.

Now seriously theres no way of determing wether einstein was an nt or an aspie.

Well crap. I spent 10 bucks on this magic eight ball and now you're telling me it isn't right?

Albert didn't say a word until between 3& 4 . Feynman at age 3. Feynman was also a synesthete.

Not your typical neurotypical folk, but I doubt these were on the spectrum insofar as being impaired with meeting the 299.80 criteria. Probably BAP.

He also once hopped off his bike at the sound of a violin, and dashed upstairs into the woman's house and shouted gleefully "Keep playing!!"

I don't know that he had AS but he certainly wasn't typical.

I don't think it's accurate to think that all men with AS have trouble getting women though. A lot of men with social issues feel more comfortable around women than men and AS is not synonymous with social anxiety necessarily.

I think it might be that getting women is a lot easier than many of the guys on here perceive it to be and it's their own fears of getting rejected that make it so difficult. Many of them cannot bring themselves to even approach a woman and when they do, it's an emotional, defining moment in life from which they have great difficulty recovering if it does not go the way they had hopes.

There are men out there who perceive approaching women entirely differently.

I suppose one can liken it to gambling. Some people who like money fear losing $5 more than gaining $100 so they don't gamble. To others, the prospect of winning $100 is far more powerful than the thought of losing $5, so they do gamble and get a thrill in the process of doing it. When they lose, the emotional impact is small because the $5 was so insignificant to them relative to the potential reward.

I believe Albert Einstein fell into the latter category. He liked women. He liked talking to women even just for the sake of talking to them and if one should reject him, it wasn't a big deal, he would just move on to the next.

He's dead; why does it matter?

Well, when you just formulated the most important theories of our era and you have a charming wit and personality, not to mention an endearing hair style, I'm sure girls will flock. I admit I'm an aspie that doesn't get romantic crushes, but it's obvious even to me why women would like him.

I agree, I know not everyone here has had such luck but i think the quiet confused poet/genuis with a heart of gold is something ladies go for, it's the romeo of the modern society - sensetive and kind, not macho or rugged.

It's just a shame that so many ladies can say that they are turned on by the sensetive quiet shy man and when they finally meet one of us they regret their wish.
