Celebrities Who Live with the Challenges of Autism Every Day

One of the most famous musicians in history, Mozart, too, has been diagnosed with autism (though not during his time, of course). Many who were near the composer wrote that he would often repeat his facial expressions and could not sit still, with an incessant need for his hands and feet to be moving. Many researchers, scientists, and doctors can easily point these out as symptoms of autism spectrum disorder.

Also, Mozart was said to have very sensitive hearing, likely leading to his mastery of his craft. However often overlooked, this, too, is a symptom of his alleged autism.

Researchers have been able to analyze some of Mozart's behavior by looking into letters that were written between himself and his family. Their discoveries implied that he displayed many mannerisms that would support the argument of his having autism, such as his behavior of jumping over tables, throwing chairs, doing somersaults, or meowing when he got bored.
