In the history of items written on Musk in the past 20 years, was it ever mentioned prior to 2022?
Yeah, sure, like 90% of SV claims to be "on the spectrum", often as a behavioural excuse. Don't believe me? Look at any comment section of an article discussing the subject on these forums.
- maximus-decimus 4y agoDo you have any data that proves it wrong? A quick google says 1 man out of 42 is autistic and 1 out of 200 workers in the U.S. is a software engineer. Let's assume every SE is a man and half the working population is men, that would mean 1 out of 100 men is in software. Based on those numbers, it would be possible for every software engineer to be on the spectrum.
