A thing with autism is staying on track and interruptions throwing one off track. Two way conversations can be like a juggling act.

I wonder if the scorn was due to problems within himself that caused people to see him as annoying and arrogant or just plain kooky.

Actually, it was due to ignorance of others around him not knowing what he knew nor accepting the scientific lessons he was teaching them. They called him insane and locked him in a mental institution and he died 15 years after sharing his scientific breakthrough. Sometime after his death they realized that he was, in fact, correct, and now it's common knowledge that hand washing is essential to patient care & mothers and babies no longer die from doctors' dirty hands.

Ignaz Semmelweis suffered from various nervous conditions, became manic, absentminded and also sexually promiscuous. He turned every conversation to the topic of childbed fever. He became irritating to others. He lashed out full of bitterness, desperation and fury. His behavior towards others seemed particularly inappropriate. The exact nature of his affliction has been a subject of debate. He was institutionalized July 30 1865 and died two weeks later August 13 1865.

Because he was right & he knew it, and it changed lives for the better.

You people aren't driving me insane, though, regardless of your efforts.

He had a mental disorder. It might have been Alzheimers or 3rd stage syphilis. Nobody knows for sure. Although he probably didn't realize he had problems and put the blame everyone else.

He didn’t deserve to die like that.

Is there a particular mental disorder that causes one to make up, speculate, or outright fabricate what they think is going on with everyone else?

Now that's rich coming from the one who makes a habit of rewriting damned near anything I share about myself, my life, my symptoms, with his own fabricated version of what he imagines my life to be. Now that's trolling.

The "mental disorder" is called "Somebody trying to be a shrink."

Indeed, considering that you respond to almost every post I make about myself with Trumpian "Alternative Facts," about me. Seriously, you do. I tell you what my symptoms & life's experiences actually are, and then you distort them in your mind to some strange alternate reality and regurgitate it here as "What I think is really happening is blah blah blah," as if I'm somehow incapable of knowing what my own thoughts/symptoms are & typing them out myself correctly the first time. It's rather comical, tbh. :lol:

I get told that a lot too. I guess it means that you dominate the conversation. Which autistic people tend to do without noticing. I definitely do it a lot. I kind of forget to talk about the other person sometimes, or I start infodumping about my many special interests. I can't really strike I good balance between the other person and me very well. Either I don't talk to them at all, or I ramble.

Conversation is a game of tennis. But some autistics treat conversation like its golf, or like hitting a grand slam with a baseball bat, and don't grasp how its about responding back and forth.

No I mean quite a few people here over the years have come to the conclusion you seem to have a disorder(s) outside of aspergers. Like I said, I'm just one of many and just one of the newest to join the ranks. Which you know perfectly well. You're good at sucking people into making a thread all about you and of course you think it's hilarious.
