Did Albert Einstein have a learning disability?

Answer 1

Well only he knows this but it certainly didn’t limit his reading if he did and it wasn’t really a recognised condition at the time. What has been referred to many times is that people felt his social expression could have pointed towards that of someone with perhaps Autism or AspergerS but again at that time learning difficulties were grouped together and we certainly know he was clever. We do however know that he preferred being away from others, with a good memory and routine that contained a lot of reading but not a lot of confidence/enjoyment in social settings with others. We also know that over time descriptions of people can be misleading and have a butterfly effect in their magnitude. Only he could say this for sure but he is another example of someone that had natural abilities that got overlooked by others and can be an inspiration to all that are different but turn out to be very valuable. He wrote about our schooling system’ if you only judge a fish by its climbing skills it will never be clever but that doesn’t make it so”. Many current names were not school achievers- Branson (he was dyslexic), Simon Cowell, Robbie Williams, Harry Rednap and plenty more did not prosper in school exams but I would definitely say they achieve more than most.

Answer 2

No, but most of his teachers observed that he may have had a learning disability due to excessive questions and a trouble with math that some suppose he had during his high school years.

In his biography he was proclaimed as a brilliant student who's grades at worst were that of a moderately successful student. There is some speculation that he may have flunked math in high school, but these records have little supporting evidence apart from the possibility that another student (Maric) may have helped him with his math. Albert Einstien is awesome!!!!!!!!!! (//.^)

Actually there are conflicting stories on this particular issue, Einstein started speaking at the age of 4, however, he did very well in school contrary to popular belief.

His biographers are of the opinion that he was not.

Answer 3

AnswerThere are many claims that say he was, and many that say that he was not. I believe there is more evidence that he was, but I am not sure. since he was never tested so we can not know for sure.

Answer 4

He was a daydreamer. His teachers in Germany told him he would never amount to anything, that his questions destroyed class discipline, that he would be better off out of school. Yet Albert Einstein went on to become one of the greatest scientists in world history. One common misperception about people who have a learning disability is that they are less intelligent than other people. In fact, people with learning disabilities can be academically gifted and highly motivated achievers.

Albert Einstein, Winston Churchill, Thomas Edison, Leonardo da Vinci, and William Shakespeare had the same learning disavily.

Answer 5

Albert Einstein was not dyslexic. He did not show any of the signs of dyslexia and in fact went through books at an early age like termites through wood. The myth he was dyslexic was probably started because he had difficulties in school, but this was because the German school system at the time emphasized strict military-like discipline and order which was something he did not excel at, preferring free thinking and imagination.
