The hyperfocus Errol just described is a shared trait in autism and ADHD, more specifically what used to be called ADD, now ADHD, inatentive type... There are many overlapping traits in autism and ADHD... Both known as "neurodivergent".
@@cre8tivexchange What 😂 Go watch Rodney Jerkins, Smokey Robinson etc. They were fully capable of forming complete coherent sentences without rambling like a Musk.
Everybody’s joking in the comments, but in all actuality, this is brilliant. There’s no way Elon would describe himself in this way lol we wouldn’t know these type of things until we watched his biography in about 30 years. This is Fire .
My 7th grade science teacher voiced concern about me to the principal and my mother for the exact same thing. Might've been 8th grade. I sat by the window and stared at the trees and ignored everyone. I used creativity to imagine beautiful stuff about the trees that stimulated my brain. It was much more enjoyable than "Memorize this. Memorize that." I'm pretty sure I don't have Asperger's but I wonder if that specific behavior is common with folks with Asperger's?
It's ironic that Elon is targetting DEI when he would actually be in that category if he has Aspberger's or autism. Musk's drug taking, autism and support for right-wing extremists shows he has a weirdness, which is unacceptable to mainstream Americans. He can't think straight, is not well rounded. There's something missing in his makeup. He's a rogue, just like Donald Trump. Basically, he's like a child who is fascinated by his toys and playing games. He acts like Peter Pan. Don't believe for a minute that his intentions are good. He has an unquenchable thirst for power. He doesn't give a shit about working class people. He's downright mad, bad, and dangerous.
That’s interesting. On a business insider post I read, his ex girlfriend Grimes describes him as having two very distinct sides to him. One that goes dark.
True. I either have to do like five things at the same time or I zone out on one thing and you literally have to scream my name until I come back to reality.
This shows the importance of self esteem and confidence, and having a strong parent. If they had believed and left his welfare to those teachers it could have ruined his life.
Someone from Elon Musk’s generation, born in 1971, would not have typically been tested for autism during childhood due to several factors. In the 1970s and 1980s, autism was largely misunderstood and considered a severe, rare disorder primarily affecting children with profound intellectual and social impairments. The DSM-III, published in 1980, included autism as a distinct diagnosis, but it focused mainly on severe cases resembling classic Kanner’s autism, where children exhibited nonverbal behavior, repetitive actions, and significant developmental delays. The idea of high-functioning autism or Asperger’s syndrome was not widely recognized in clinical settings at the time. Asperger’s syndrome, which falls under what is now called Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), was not included in the DSM until 1994, when Musk was already an adult. Before this, individuals with mild autistic traits were often misdiagnosed or simply seen as eccentric, gifted but socially awkward, or having personality quirks. Many children with above-average intelligence, hyperfocus, or intense interests-traits now associated with ASD-were often labeled as gifted or nerdy rather than autistic. Instead of an autism diagnosis, these individuals were sometimes identified with ADHD, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), social anxiety disorder, or even schizoid personality disorder. During that time, cultural and educational factors also played a role in the lack of diagnosis. In the 1970s and 1980s, autism was primarily associated with severe disability, and there was little emphasis on recognizing the broader spectrum. Teachers and parents might have assumed a child was simply introverted, stubborn, or highly intelligent rather than considering autism as an explanation. Additionally, the rise of STEM-focused education and tech culture allowed individuals with autism-like traits to thrive in fields like engineering and programming without needing a formal diagnosis. Routine autism screening was also not a common practice in schools or pediatric checkups, and significant stigma surrounded the disorder. As a result, parents were often reluctant to seek a diagnosis unless their child had severe developmental difficulties. By the time autism, particularly Asperger’s syndrome, became widely recognized in the 1990s and 2000s, Musk was already an adult, and the window for childhood diagnosis had passed. He eventually disclosed his Asperger’s diagnosis publicly during a 2021 *Saturday Night Live* appearance, reflecting how much diagnostic criteria and awareness have evolved since his childhood.
1000% corect. I was born in 1965 & can attest to exactly what you're saying as being the case of how it was back then... Unless South Africa was different (which I highly doubt). i also still stand by being socially retarded is NOT the same as being mentally retarded (& yes, it is a thing) - Autism or not - as having a high intellectual IQ had absolutely no correlation to what your social IQ is - and these days is actually a better indicator & being more widely used vs Intellectual IQ (as many withdraw into themselves & taking their intellectual prowess along with them into supression) Elon also had a bit of luck play into his hands with his first success & parlayed that a few times over to end up where he is today financially. He clearly still lacks the social success in comparison, esp as his mother's family influence with their long time role as Nazi supporters before she even immigrated to S Africa from Canada where it was not tolerated... and as Apartheid comfortly aligns with the same social views they supported
