Simon Baron-Cohen : biography

15 August 1958 –

In 2008 Baron-Cohen assessed Gary McKinnon, the British computer hacker who had been accused of breaking into 97 United States military and NASA computer networks in 2001 and 2002, and diagnosed him as having Asperger Syndrome, which was used by McKinnon’s legal defence team to successfully overturn extradition to the US to stand trial.

In 2011 Baron-Cohen appeared in TIME Magazine, featuring his ‘assortative mating’ theory of autism., TIME Magazine (August 29th, 2011)
