The neuropsychologist Frith (1989) emphasized that persons with autism have a lack of central coherence which Wittgenstein had and indeed he was aware of it when he said that he led his students down many side roads but had difficulty seeing the big picture—the more important roads (Monk, 1990). It appears that his own identity and sense of self was fragmented in the same way that his view of the world was fragmented and viewed in segments.
Wittgenstein met all the Gillberg criteria for Asperger syndrome (Gillberg, 1991). His difficulties in “affective contact with people” (Kanner, 1943) had a major impact on his philosophical writing.
Wittgenstein suffered from severe depression throughout his life (Fitzgerald & Berman, 1994) and also had problems with aggression and was charged in Court for knocking a pupil in school unconscious. He met the criteria for autism and Asperger syndrome (Asperger, 1944).
