Sorry, I got something wrong. He actually has Asperger's, not Autism[1].
It's not used as an excuse from serious people, but you maybe are aware of the fanboy-armies on social media who dismiss every criticism against their Savior. Since he admitted that he has Asperger's I saw this being used as an excuse in very weird ways.
I misinterpreted your "Don't bother, nobody has any sympathy for autism here" comment as a way of saying "People are so hard on him, even though he has autism", so my bad.

- simondotau 5y agoAsperger Syndrome is autism spectrum disorder. It’s an outdated term but would have been the label used when Elon was diagnosed as a child. The existence of fanboy armies is entirely orthogonal to any discussion we’re having here. Their existence should have no bearing on how Elon is judged by a neutral observer.
