Did Joe Louis have Aspergers?

Post Reply New Topic

I was watching a documentry on the Max Schmeling vs. Joe Louis fights. It got me thinking was Joe Louis an Aspie? It was mentioned by some of his friends that he atended a special needs school and was very interverted. He also did not have a very expresive face It was also long and narow, or show a lot of emotion. He was extremely gifted at what he did his form was near perfect and could hit with a lot of power.

It's possible. I would have to do some research before I would be able to give a more definite opinion though.

I very highly doubt it. People on the spectrum are not known for their physical skills. There wouldn't be enough information now to say either way for sure.

Don't believe everything you hear. I knew Joe Louis and he was very socialable and outgoing. In fact he worked as our 'greeter' at a hotel I once worked at. He was a party animal and most certainly not introverted or slow in the head.
