Pretty sure Elon Musk is ASD too, I'm ASD (slightly, self-diagnosed my wife has ADHD-C, I WAS diagnosed with ADHD-I 3 years ago, and after MANY youtube channel watches of ASD and ADD/ADHD stuff, and being told by 3 separate friends (all w/ ASD) that if they've got it, so do I, I just accepted it).. .
It does make sense, I ramble often, on a topic and I can get so focused on one subject that I neglect everything else for weeks, and sure that's a sign of ADHD, but it crosses over, my brother has it too, and I think my wife does as well, cause there's a female YT channel on it, and she and the host are like twins (behaviorially)...
I'm not a fan of Zuck or Musk (used to be a fan, but he's just a self-absorbed rich kid who got lucky because he had money to begin with), but I do see ASD as a two edged sword it can lead to greatness (I have brilliant ideas) or failure (I have fear of launching, because I'm very sensitive to criticism, and rejection) .. but having access to money makes fear of failure less because well you can afford better market testing, and hire people to help fill in the gaps...
TLDR: Not a fan of elon/zuck, both probably are ASD, so am I, my take is it didn't make them successful, it may have contributed, but it definitely didn't hurt them either, but people w/ ASD often get paired as being like the guy on the "Good Doctor" and I hate that, many w/ ASD you can't even tell until they tell you or you work in close quarters w/ them for awhile... it's not very pronounced on a lot of people and most programmers probably are on spectrum, it's a good career choice for us (almost perfect)... I'm one.
