Epigraph

Dedication

To my first-born, Stephanie Paula Ledgin-Toskos,
who eased me into a new form of work at a late
stage of my life--the writing of historical
observations to raise gifted young people with
Asperger's Syndrome from self-doubt.

And to a great teacher who prefers to be known
only as "Kanga," for encouraging me--with the
right measures of enthusiasm, counsel, and
wisdom--toward undertaking and completing this
particular work

First words

Preface
Welcome to a new way of looking at historical figures -- successful people who had tendencies or traits shared by persons now diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, or high-functioning autism.
