Two psychologists writing about the mental makeup of mathpeople. One aspect: "It is interesting that many of the mathematicians in this book had Asperger syndrome. We know that genes have multiple effects, and we hypothesize that the genes that produce the social deficits of Asperger syndrome are also involved in producing great mathematical ability. Examples in this book are Lagrange, Poincaré, Cauchy, Galois, Riemann, Cantor, Hilbert, Ramanujan, Fisher, Wiener, Dirac, and Gödel." (p 9)

By contrast, we are ‘outraged’ by the epidemic levels of bad behaviour in schools. Is it in the ‘E’ numbers? Is it in the fluoride? Is it the teachers or the parents? Is it the collapse of society, as we know it? Or is it that ADHD thing we keep hearing about? Give them a good dose of Ritalin and we can all live quiet lives.
Michael Fitzgerald, in his book, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD): Creativity, Novelty Seeking and Risk, argues persuasively that these über-achievers and so-called delinquents are not so far removed from each other in terms of their insatiable quest for the new; going so far to as suggest that the very roots of our civilisation are grounded in the capricious restlessness of our forebears’ thirst for new stimulation and novelty-seeking - which, of course, means taking risks.
