Did van Gogh have a disability?

Answer 1

I believe Van Gogh appears to have traits of AS with schizoid bridging. AS in a genetic sense may have links to bipolar and schizophrenia as well as autism, and in schizoid bridging situations the sensory enhancement is linked to a distorted view of reality. People with AS that I have met appear to experience details much like an impressionist painting or a pixelated TV set. The greater the impairment of sensory filters, the greater the intensity of this experience. However, if you look at Van Gogh's work there is a distortion beyond this indicating an experience of dynamism or movement. His detail granularity is "moving" much like the descriptions of people with schizophrenia, hence the bridging trait. Additionally, he experienced depression, an inability to relate his experience to NTs, and an experience of not following social conventions creating isolation not to mention his savant brilliance in his artistic expression and spacial logic. My opinion.
