Answer 4

If I recall correctly, these symptoms of which you speak were the results of him being mildly autistic. Since autism has historically been extremely difficult to diagnose many people live their whole lives with it unknowingly. Most people are simply labeled slow, antisocial, lazy, or even simple minded. In some cases of autism the person has abilities which exceed those of the average. In extreme cases these people are known as savants. Auspergers syndrome is a form of infant/childhood autism that is easily misdiagnosed. The child appears to be developmentally inadequate in most of their social and academic skills. Fortunately many of these children "outgrow" the difficulties and lead productive lives.

In Einstein's case he was also found to have an abundance of neurons in his parietal lobe. Whether this was the reason for his incredible math skills or were a result of his lifelong participation in physics is uncertain.

Yeah, he was kinda screwy too...just look at his pics..haha just kiddn

Answer 5

He has been rumored after the fact to possibly have suffered from a number of disorder.  As a young man I believe he was kicked out of school because of the problems.  Most of these diagnosis were less well known and called other things, but he had several problems with learning certain things, and apparently, a excellent aptitude for others.

Answer 6

i think a lot of smart people dont fit in simply cause they dont make an effort to  they dont care  their thinking is beyond that  and a lot of them do suffer from disorders like ocd  they think of too many things at one time so they overload the circuits  consequently they appear confused and blundering about  cant walk and talk at the same time kind of thing   got to slow down  sometimes their genius isnt recognized  they are looked at as odd  and out of the norm and they are -- who wrote the book on norms anyway

Answer 7

Ive actually heard rumors that his wife came up with all of his theories and he simply took the credit.....not saying I believe 'em, thats just what I heard.
