Did Michelangelo (1475-1564) have high-functioning autism?

Muhammad Arshad1, Michael Fitzgerald.   

Abstract

In this paper evidence is presented that Michelangelo met the criteria for Asperger's disorder, or high-functioning autism. The evidence relates to his single-minded work routine, unusual lifestyle, limited interests, poor social and communication skills, and issues of life control. Depression and various medical conditions, including gout, renal colic and renal stones, did not stop his obsessive working habits.
