Albert Einstein is believed to have had Aspergers Syndrome, a form of Autism on the high end of the spectrum. People with extraordinary talent, along side autism, are known as autistic savants and Einstein was believed to have been the 1 out of 200 of them.
Sir Isaac Newton was also believed to have had Aspergers. Apart from his amazing talent, he showed many more symptoms of Aspergers Syndrome such as being 'socially awkward'. He was described as self-centred and he stood up for his strong opinions. He usually worked on his own, and worked hard to prove other scientists wrong. Few believed him, which probably led his social skills to be worse than they were. People with Aspergers often have obsessions and will spend hours and hours doing something and then excel in it; this is obvious in Isaac Newton.
