Recently billionaire and Paypal co founder- Peter Thiel spoke insupport of Aspies at the “Freedom Fest” event in Vegas. (A sort of high flying “meeting of the minds” conference).

He said many tech CEOs have Asperger’s or numerous traits thereof . . .

BIG ADVANTAGE

They largely ignore social cues.

So when someone criticizes their new ideas – it doesn’t

matter.

They carry on regardless, bringing great new innovations to the world.

Take 19 year old Aspie Daniel Storm of Wickliffe, Ohio, inventor of “Snag a Bag” - a universal bag holder for cars.

The idea came when mom asked him to hold her purse/handbag as she drove. It mounts on the back of car seats, and he plans to sell it in major department stores.

Best of luck to him. More proof of the amazing Aspie brain.
