A person with balance disorder wont be able to walk straight and will trip a lot. You can't just study physics and fix your balance, those calculations are too hard to make quickly enough to be used in practice. Understanding physics might help a bit, but their walk will always feel clunky and unnatural.
ASD is the same kind of problem but with social situations. No matter what they do their social interactions wont feel as natural and smooth as what normal humans do. And interestingly enough many with ASD also have unnatural and clunky walking styles as if they had a problem with balance, it is a known red flag to check for a diagnosis.
- majikaja 4y agoI guess, just feels weird that someone who is #2 on Twitter describes themselves in this way. Kind of a high bar
- nailer 4y agoAutism can create success. Does Elon seem like someone who is fashionable and deeply prioritises the opinions of others over the truth?
- Jensson 4y agoA person who got ahead even though their social skills are shit probably has a lot of other things going for them, not everyone judges a persons worth just based on their social skills.
- majikaja 4y agoI would have judged him to have good social skills if he managed to drum up such a following to help raise money for his ventures. Obviously depends on the crowd
- Jensson 4y agoAnd a person with a balance disorder can be great at physics, not sure what you think is strange here.
- majikaja 4y agoIf he is able to successfully maintain an audience on social media and date celebrities while juggling multiple CEO roles it sounds to me that this disorder is mostly cured.. unless you can prove there is a region of the brain that is responsible for being tactful. He just needs to work on not firing or picking fights with random people when in a bad mood.
- mrguyorama 4y agoNo, he's not cured, he's just rich. Money makes A LOT of problems and difficulties and blockers go away. I agree that no level of any autism-like issues should absolve him of being a massive narcissistic cunt though.
- nailer 4y agoI don’t think he does fire people when in a bad mood. As we’ve seen in the last week he fires people when they give ridiculous reasons for poor performance though.
- Jensson 4y agoWe call both social skills, but they are very different, just like how balance and theoretical physics are different things. Managing a company or a large crowd requires more intellectual understanding, he has that, managing direct social interactions requires more of the intuitive parts of your brain, he might have a disorder there and it would classify him as having autism. And just to clarify, people with autism can have great theoretical understanding of people, doesn't mean that they perform well in direct social interactions. But this discussions doesn't seem to go anywhere, you hate the guy and want to say he is evil rather than him having a disorder. There isn't much to argue about then.
- fluoridation 4y agoSo what you're saying is that it's possible to study human behaviors enough to be able to put up a good performance and convince people to give you money, analogously to how someone with an inner ear condition could study physics enough to become a gymnast? Aren't contradicting yourself?
- andai 4y agoKinda like the peacock's tail being attractive because it is harmful to the individual. The bigger the tail, the better the peacock, if he made it this far without getting eaten!
- nailer 4y agoYou can actually use autism to have good social skills. It takes a lot of work but once you realise you will never fit in, and have the same issues speaking to a thousand people as you do speaking to one person, you can speak honestly to a thousand people. Very few NTs can do this.
- justinclift 4y ago> You can't just study physics and fix your balance ... Heh Heh Heh. Can totally imagine an engineering type person would figure out a way. Back sized gyroscope, hidden in a backpack maybe? :)
- nailer 4y agoI remember hearing of someone that had blown out their inner ear and had balance issues. The issue was solved with a gyroscopic plane that sat between their molars and covered the back of their tongue.
