The author has however passed this, because it is too easy, and it shows the lack of information of these people.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Times New Roman, serif;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\">Hints that Elon Musk may be on the autistic spectrum have been here before. Even in childhood has Elon shown signs of being different. He had very vivid imagination ever since childhood, and he was able to concentrate on a problem so much, that he has stopped paying attention to the rest of the world. That is actually the reason, why Elon has been through tonsil surgery as a child \u2013 his doctor had thought, that was is slightly deaf.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Times New Roman, serif;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\">Elon\u2019s mother May remembers that often, when the family went shopping, Elon has disappeared. They knew where he has gone to and indeed \u2013 as many times before he sat at the library and was in his world.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/atypmagazin.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/elon-musk-netrpi-aspergerovym-syndromem-2-scaled.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-12798 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/atypmagazin.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/elon-musk-netrpi-aspergerovym-syndromem-2-1024x719.jpg\" alt=\"Elon Musk does not suffer from Asperger\u2019s Syndrome 2\" width=\"1024\" height=\"719\" srcset=\"https:\/\/atypmagazin.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/elon-musk-netrpi-aspergerovym-syndromem-2-1024x719.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/atypmagazin.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/elon-musk-netrpi-aspergerovym-syndromem-2-300x211.jpg 300w, https:\/\/atypmagazin.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/elon-musk-netrpi-aspergerovym-syndromem-2-768x539.jpg 768w, https:\/\/atypmagazin.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/elon-musk-netrpi-aspergerovym-syndromem-2-1536x1079.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/atypmagazin.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/elon-musk-netrpi-aspergerovym-syndromem-2-2048x1438.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/atypmagazin.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/elon-musk-netrpi-aspergerovym-syndromem-2-600x421.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Times New Roman, serif;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\">He got interested in computers even before puberty and at the age of twelve managed to programme a computer game called Blastar, which he subsequently sold to PC Magazine and Office Technology.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Times New Roman, serif;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\">Unfortunately, the school years were not nice at all. In the apartheid stricken South African Republic, where he was born, has he been through heavy bullying from his classmates, who have laughed at him not only for his surname, but also for his differences.
