Fitzgerald begins his chapter on Weil by highlighting behaviors and characteristics displayed by Weil throughout her life, which are consistent with a diagnosis of Asperger's syndrome. He then goes on to compare Weil to others he has identified as displaying this syndrome including Ludwig Wittgenstein and Paul Erdös. |
