Reply #15: I agree about both of them.

Gore just seems like a very smart introvert to me, at least more of an introvert than the typical politician (such as Clinton or W.)

And I never heard any stories about Einstein that made him sound like someone with Asperger's -- and, living in geek country, I've known a number of them, both adults and children. If he had to have a label, ADD might have fit his absent-minded professor image. People with ADD often have an ability to hyperfocus when the material is engaging -- while having more of a difficulty organizing regular day-to-day tasks. (Someone with Asperger's, OTOH, might cling tight to a known schedule; I never heard that kind of story about Einstein.)
