Product Description
The nature of artistic creativity and its relationship with 'difference' has intrigued people for centuries. The Genesis of Artistic Creativity is a revealing exploration of the lives of 21 famous writers, philosophers, musicians and painters including George Orwell, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Andy Warhol and many others, in light of the recognized criteria for diagnosis of high-functioning autism and Asperger's Syndrome (AS). Having diagnosed hundreds of individuals with AS during his professional career, Professor Fitzgerald examines here the social behaviour, language, humour, and obsessive interests and routines that accompanied creative genius in the past four centuries. From Herman Melville's eccentric breakfast habits and Simone Weil's intense dislike of being touched by other people to Ludwig van Beethoven's inappropriate marriage proposals and Vincent van Gogh's inability to form satisfying relationships with others, the author offers compelling insights into the association between creativity and autism spectrum disorders. This celebration of artistic genius and AS will prove a fascinating read not only for professionals in the field of autism and AS, but for anyone interested in the sources of creativity and the arts.

Memorable fictional characters portraying autistic traits or themes
(aspie fiction characters)
Sherlock HolmesFrom writings of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and various movies
Actors – Basil Rathbone and others
Professor Michael Fitzgerald on Sherlock Holmes: “Interestingly, Sherlock Holmes – a fictional character – shows the characteristics of a person with Asperger’s syndrome. One interpretation of the stories is that Holmes represents Conan Doyle and Dr Watson represents a non-autistic person.” (Fitzgerald 2005). Professor Fitzgerald has identified Conan Doyle as an autistic person. Autistic people are particularly talented at observing and analysing the world at a detailed level, and some are thought to excel at reasoning in a logical manner. These are talents displayed by Holmes.
Memorable quote –
“You know my method, Watson. It is founded upon the observation of trifles.”
TRADUCTION:
D'après les écrits de Sieur Arthur Conan Doyle et plusieurs acteurs de cinéma - Basil Rathbone et d'autres
Le Pr Michael Fitzgerald dit de sherlock Holmes : "Il est intéressant de voir comme Sherlock Holmes -un personne de fiction- présente les caractéristiques d'une personne ayant le Syndrôme d'Asperger. Une explication serait que Sherlock Holmes représenterait Conan Doyle et que le Dr Watson représenterait une personne qui serait non-autistique." (Fitzgerald 2005). Le Pr fitzgerald a identifié Conan Doyle comme étant une personne autistique. Les autistes sont des personnes qui sont particulièrement douées pour observer et analyser le monde à un niveau de détail qui est élevé et certaines excellent dans le raisnnement logique. Ce sont exactement les talents que démontre Holmes.
Citation mémorable-
"Vous connaissez ma méthode, Watson. Elle est fondée sur l'obsevation de futilités."
Characters in “Pride and Prejudice” by Jane Austen
In the book “So odd a mixture: along the autistic spectrum in ‘Pride and Prejudice’” Phyllis Ferguson Bottomer identifies eight characters in Austen’s classic novel, including “Mr Darcy”, as being on the autistic spectrum.
Dr Gregory House
From the US television series “House”
Actor – Hugh Laurie
House is the head of a hospital medical department, a diagnostic genius who is also a maverick and a misanthrope. People find him difficult or unpleasant to deal with. There has been some speculation as to whether this character is an aspie, and in one episode House speculated about this after dealing with an autistic child patient. In some ways the character resembles a stereotype of an intellectually gifted aspie, having an extensive medical knowledge, a love of solving medical puzzles, good attention to detail, and a disappointment with the failings of humanity. It appears that the character has been modelled on the classic fictional detective character Sherlock Holmes, a character who, like House, has a drug addiction, is highly intelligent and is a loner. The surnames “House” and “Holmes” are similar. Sherlock Holmes has been identified by an autism expert as an aspie character created by an aspie writer (Fitzgerald 2005). I personally think House is too articulate and intentionally offensive to be a typical aspie. I don’t believe drug addiction is an autistic trait or is even more common in autistics than the general population.
Edward Scissorhands
From the movie “Edward Scissorhands” directed by Tim Burton
Actor – Johnny Depp
Edward is an outsider who is different and misunderstood. Cory Sampson has written an article in which this movie is analysed as a psychological allegory of a man “afflicted” with Asperger syndrome. Sampson also speculated that Burton may be on the autistic spectrum (Sampson 2004).
Et plein d'autres que je n'ai pas sélectionné...
