Butting in to make a comment on your comment, which is more intresting to me than the article.

I was drawn to your comment because of your reference to Musk, Einstein and Chaplin - they are or have been described as Neurodivergent.

So... Social skills are more challenging for us, (I'm obsessed with the behaviour of people on the spectrum).

These 3 Neurodivergent people did/have created a legacy regardless of their, 'inadequacy'.

I'm personally invested, so hyper aware of language used to describe people who don't fit in. Anyway, just thought it was an interesting observation.
