Wittgenstein worked as a porter at Guy’s Hospital in London, and then as a technician at the Royal Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle. He wrote about his important insights into language, and neuroscience. It has been suggested that he had Asperger syndrome and a possible movement disorder (mannerisms).engAcesso AbertoWittgensteinPhilosophyNeurologyPsychiatryFilosofiaNeurologiaPsiquiatriaArtigo10.1590/S0004-282X2011000500026
