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.

Asperger 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 It’s an outdated term but would have been the label used when Elon was diagnosed as a child.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.
