The more I read about how he was at his job, etc...his social skills, etc...the more I wonder.

I don't think so. While he definitely had the razor sharp focus, I think his incredible interpersonal skills were too developed for him to be an Aspie. Though now I suppose we'll never know.

Actually, he had horrendous interpersonal skills...that's what's gets me. Many who say he was an "a$$", no tolerance for others, etc, etc, etc...

I think as he got older he might have learned, as many of us have tried to learn, to WING IT... lol But many who worked with him have stated he was brilliant, but had no people skills.

He managed to get married...hmmm...so did I. By the way, if you have lots of money like he did, you too can get married...lol And most can get married, and when things get bad, as they normally do when you are an ASPIE, when you have money, women tend to stick around longer :-)

He's way too charismatic to have Aspergers. Bill Gates is more likely to have Aspgers.

what I can't understand is why no one pressed his reset button and restored the factory defaults?

Sort answer: No
Long answer: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! !

You'd have a hard time finding one of the diagnostic criteria. A little sociopathic maybe. I got by on
manipulating people for a time. If he has one big tallent it's people skills.
