List of Napoleonic figures I think could've been ND

I remember a long time ago I mentioned the idea of making a list of napoleonic figures I thought could be neurodivergent, well, here's the list!!! This list is based on my opinions (as a neurodivergent person with schizophrenia) and my dad's opinions (as someone who studied psychology and has ASD), please take this with like a planet-sized meteor of salt because although my dad is quite knowledgeable on this subject, he got the profiles of these figures from my own perspective in a casual conversation. I'm just some 18 year old who hasn't even started university yet, and although I am quite invested in the Napoleonic era I know that I don't know everything </3, so with all that being said, here's the list.

*I can't emphasize enough that none of these diagnosis are concrete, they're mostly conclusions from a casual conversation </3, this list is also not meant to offend any one in any manner!!!*

*names highlighted in green means we weren't sure about our conclusions*

ASD - Louis Nicolas Davout, Napoleon Bonaparte I, Louis Alexandre Berthier;

ADHD - Jean Lannes, Joachim Murat, Michel Ney;

OCD - Louis Gabriel Suchet, Jean-de-Dieu Soult;

Schizophrenia - Jean Andoche Junot, Jean Baptiste Bessières;

Could've had something else but we couldn't quite pinpoint what exactly - Joachim Murat, Jean-de-Dieu Soult, Tsar Alexander I;

If you have any questions/thoughts about any of these opinions feel free to reply or reblog! But like I said, this is just what me and my dad thought

The Taffrail

A taffrail is a railing at the stern of the ship or the handrail around the open deck area at the stern of a ship or boat. The term is a shortening of taffarel, the original name for this ornament.

The stern of the Prins Willem with a wooden carved taffrail and a Captain on the Poop deck taffrail, by William Heysmann Overend (1851-1898) (x) (x)

Sometimes the railing refers only to the curved wooden top of the stern of a sailing ship or an East Indian ship.  It could also be a complete handrail along the poop deck. The rail of these wooden sailing ships usually had hand-carved wooden mouldings, which were often highly ornamented.
