I have a lingering suspicion that a good amount of monks during the middle ages had some form of ASD. Monastic life involved repetitive activities that are usually enjoyed by people with ASD, and monks often had intellectual hobbies that made them probably the closest thing to nerds that existed in the middle ages, which is linked to ASD.
