not diagnosed with anything but were seen as brilliant, eccentric, absent minded, socially inept

I'd like to respond in depth, but find myself weeping about the loss of a brother to cancer this past May, who had an un-diagnosed but similar-sounding mental disease as well, probably OCD, Aperger's might be a possiblity now.

I thought I had got over it, but his last, favorite, movie, "Master & Commander", showed up on cable and I was compelled to switch to it.

Big mistake, brought it all back.

Sorry for your loss. Prayers going up for ya.
