Read the details of the case.

Did they diagnose people with high functioning autism back in the 60s and 70s? Was Asperger’s even refinished as a thing back then? I don’t know for sure that he got a diagnosis. But was pretty obvious to all in the neighborhood in retrospect.

Anyway, I shared my perspective as someone who was a little closer to the whole episode than most. Perhaps there are some details in there that did not make the Wikipedia page. You are free to discount it or not. Ain’t a thang to me.
