There's been speculation that Fischer suffered from Asperger Syndrome or some other form of high-functioning autism. I don't have the expertise to know one way or the other if there's any factual basis for the speculation but from a laypersons perspective I have to admit that Fischer's feats of memory are strongly reminiscent of the kinds of skills one usually sees in autistic savants.
Thanks for the information.
