Historians have long remarked on Thomas Jefferson's 'peculiarities'. But it took the author, whose son has Asperger's Syndrome, to see what others did not. This book constructs a convincing case for the likelihood that Jefferson had Asperger's Syndrome. It matches Jefferson's behaviors with five diagnostic criteria for Asperger's.
