Bill Gates states what has long been suspected

Post Reply New Topic

He never even said he had autism anyway and said he would never seek to get diagnosed.

How can you have lived for 7 decades and be super rich, have a condition that causes a great deal of stress but not enough to be bothered to pick up the phone for instantaneous help or be diagnosed

The idea just makes a mockery of our struggles.

What does nuerodiverse actually mean?

I think it would be fair to include folks with BAP under the ND label.

If Gates doesn't meet the diagnostic criteria for autism he almost certainly would qualify for a BAP diagnosis.

As for why he doesn't pursue diagnosis, he's an old man who would gain little from confirming his suspicions at this point in his life. But, not wishing to pursue a diagnosis isn't proof that he isn't on the spectrum or at least closely adjacent to it.
