Burden or gift? Vernon Smith on having Asperger Syndrom

In 2002 VernonSmith received the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Science together with Daniel Kahneman.  I liked his articles from 1976 and 1982 mentioned below on the foundation of experimental economics in which he also outlines a connection of institutions and economic action . In this video he talks about having Asperger Syndrome has maybe enabled him to win the noble prize.


Smith, Vernon (1976): "ExperimentalEconomics: Induced Value Theory". American Economic Review 66 (2): 274–279
Smith, Vernon (1982): "MicroeconomicSystems as an Experimental Science". American Economic Review 72 (5): 923–955
