Stephen Hawking was diagnosed when he was twenty-one. They say the younger a person is when they are diagnosed with ALS the longer they live compared to someone who is diagnosed later in life. The most common is between the ages of fifty-five and seventy-five, and life expectancy is two to five years after diagnosis. Now most people know that the greatest Yankee second only to Babe Ruth aka the Big Bambino, aka the Sultan of Swat was Lou Gehrig, aka the Iron Horse. And I assume most people know that ALS is also known as Lou Gehrig disease. However some in the medical field today suspect that Lou Gehrig didn't suffer from ALS but brain trauma. And they believe this may be the case with ball players and soldiers that were thought to have ALS but most likely have TBI. Certain diseases share the same symptoms and so a person can be thought to have a disease they don't really have. Maybe misdiagnosed is not the best word to use, because of the lack scientific medical information that is available. Maybe it is the same with Stephen Hawking, maybe he had ALS or maybe he suffered from Polio. You have to understand that the scientific back in 1963 is no way comparable to what is known today. So if you base the crux of the argument on ALS and here it may turn out that he didn't have it to begin Smith then that blows up your whole "Stephen Fauxking Conspiracy Theory."
