Warren Buffett

Post Reply New Topic

There was an article in the Sunday Times (12th October) on the new biography of Buffett called "Snowball" I think. Thought to be the world's most successful investor. The person reviewing Snowball thought that the biographer had failed to pick up on the possiblity that Buffet has AS.

I get annoyed when people try to identify someone famous as an aspie on the basis of one or two characteristics, but in this case, Asperger's does seem to be a legitimate diagnosis. I bookmarked the article yesterday, and plan to buy the book when it's available in the U.S.

What fascinates me most is Buffet's very unusual ability to stay ahead of the financial game. I think there are a lot of savant-type skills out there that people don't recognize.

I haven't heard of anything that indicates he has AS.
