So they say that some people on the spectrum have been known to be geniuses and truly brilliant despite not being able to excel in conventional schooling. Who would be examples of famous scientists, engineers, doctors and others who were geniuses but, likely due to ASD related challenges, found school to be very difficult and were not able to get 40s or near 40 averages in college or high school due to these struggles? A few are famous but I was wondering if there are some I may not have known about.
