Musk's supposed autism is self-diagnosed, and he uses it as a shield.
Autism does not stop empathy may prevent the person
from reacting to it in a socially proper manner (affect).
Some may feel to much empathy and may respond
in "wrong" ways.

It has been suggested I might be on the spectrum myself.
Empathy is why I am a liberal and a Democrat.
