"I think there's this very strange phenomenon in Silicon Valley where a lot of the most uh talented start startups — a lot of the great startups — seem to be run by people who are suffering from a mild form of Asperger's, and I think I think we need to always turn this fact around and view this as an indictment of our whole society because what does it say about our society when anyone who does not suffer from Asperger's — who is socially well adapted — will be talked out of all of their original creative ideas before they are even fully formed, who will sense this is a little bit too weird, that's a little bit strange, that sounds a little bit crazy — people are looking at me in a weird way, and I think this is something that we must all realize is is sort of the deeply endemic problem." ~Peter Theil
