Albert Einstein and LD: An Evaluation of the Evidence.
Thomas, Marlin
Journal of Learning Disabilities, v33 n2 p149-57 Mar-Apr 2000
This article refutes claims that Albert Einstein had a learning disability and argues the claim derives its force not from evidence but from belief that the greatest among us suffer from some impairment and from desire to enhance the status of a marginalized group by including exceptional individuals.
