Message: <blockquote data-quote="Persius" data-source="post: 15715320" data-attributes="member: 477838">Sir Isaac NewtonNewton was very quiet and not very good at ‘small talk’, or typical day to day conversations.  He was extraordinarily focused on his work and had a hard time breaking away.  He was often so focused that he forgot to eat during these times of intense focus.  This is a trait very commonly found in autistics and this extreme focus often blocks out other things that would likely capture an individuals attention.  Newton was not good at keeping or making friends as he did not appear  friendly, nor did he know how to talk with individuals he did consider to be friends.  Newton also relied strongly upon routines.  For example,  if he had been scheduled to give a lecture, that lecture was going to happen whether there was an audience or not.</blockquote>
