I think getting physiology in this is just wrong. I don't know whether RMS is on the spectrum, and whether he would have been diagnosed as one if he passed some tests. I think it's beyond the point - even non-autistic people can make bad judgements, make mistakes, behave awkwardly, be stubborn and behave in socially awkward manner. Making it like "if we find a bad statement in your past, we're going to ruin your life, but if you have this magic paper then it's ok" - is not how you solve a problem or people's lives being ruined. RMS's voice is important not because he may or may not have certain condition, but because of what he's been saying and doing for years. It's not about autism, especially not about making it yet another "protected identity" checkbox.
