His comments were immediately met with people questioning his assertion.

Some people within the autism community expressed concern that Musk's using the term would perpetuate stereotypes about the condition."Typical to strong verbal language skills and intellectual ability" can distinguish the syndrome from other types of autism, according to Autism Speaks.

"Elon Musk 'coming out' with Asperger's is way more dangerous to the Autistic community than most may think. At the very lowest form, outdated stereotypes like 'all autistic people are rain man' will be rife. There is absolutely no context to his diagnosis," one person"I always feel a little queasy about having to use 'Asperger' with some older/less informed healthcare providers when they are not up to date with the current terms.

nbcsnl I love the beginning of Saturday night live.. I tape it on my DVR and watch it the next morning Miley Cyrus that song actually made me cry and everyone with their mothers the beginning of the show was unbelievable , awesome loved it!! Thank you

Not surprising, most geniuses have some sort of different trait than the average human 😁

Best wishes sorry to say not gonna lose any sleep because you got billions able to afford best health care able to do a bucket list from Hell really live it up before you die !! People that have billions have no worries Unlike us poor people living off 200 dollar a month

Can you all just shut up. Who cares who had it before. The man is just making a statement. Can you not enjoy a moment without all your hate?

He was great last night.

1. Asperger’s is not a diagnosis. 2. Saying he has Autism Spectrum Disorder, which is a diagnosis, would help diminish the stigma of Autism and would have been the brave thing to do.

I don’t care.

Now it's time for Zuckerberg to come out and admit he has it

Damn asperger's people are sensitive.

Why is it a controversy? Do people have a problem with asperger's syndrome?

What sick person sees controversy with that?

of course, they always bitch about elon no matter what he does or says. They just do it for attention

i don't get what is the controversy about I am also an Asperger and I am as amazing and unique as you're. I know the world has no idea what it is Asperger about but it doesn't mean we're weird or abnormal just look at him he's the CEO of tesla

There absolutely no controversy here, he admitted to having this form of Autism and if anything it will help with the acceptance. Think of the accomplishments he has overcome to create his brand.

He is an ass

Lots of geniuses, have Asperger’s!

It only sparked controversy with those who have to bitch about something. I chose to look at it like he’s showing anyone with different abilities they can do great things!

WHY would that revelation cause 'controversy'? It is like trumpish ignorance

we knew it already 🙄
