The nature of artistic creativity and its relationship with
'difference' has intrigued people for centuries. The Genesis of
Artistic Creativity is a revealing exploration of the lives of 21
famous writers, philosophers, musicians and painters including
George Orwell, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Andy Warhol and many
others, in light of the recognized criteria for diagnosis of
high-functioning autism and Asperger's Syndrome (AS). Having
diagnosed hundreds of individuals with AS during his professional
career, Professor Fitzgerald examines here the social behaviour,
language, humour, and obsessive interests and routines that
accompanied creative genius in the past four centuries. From Herman
Melville's eccentric breakfast habits and Simone Weil's intense
dislike of being touched by other people to Ludwig van Beethoven's
inappropriate marriage proposals and Vincent van Gogh's inability
to form satisfying relationships with others, the author offers
compelling insights into the association between creativity and
autism spectrum disorders.; This celebration of artistic genius and
AS will prove a fascinating read not only for professionals in the
field of autism and AS, but for anyone interes
