Bill Gates said he believed that he had been diagnosed with autism if he was growing today.
Microsoft’s co -founder, 69 -year -old high -tech billionaire, revived his future reminiscence, “Source Code: My Beginning.”
Gates wrote about his parents in Washington’s childhood in the excerpt of this book in the Wall Street Journal.
“If you’re growing today, you’ll probably be diagnosed by the spectrum of autism,” Gates wrote.
Melania Trump says that the rumor of Baron’s autism caused an irreparable damage.

Gates pointed out that the term “neurodivergent”, which is widely used today, was not yet built while he was growing.
“My parents may be rude and inappropriate without knowing the reasons why my son was absorbed in a specific project, missing social clues, and not being aware of his influence on others. He didn’t have a guide post or textbook to understand why. “
“Growth” autism? For some children, disability seems to disappear by the age of six, “encouragement” research is found.
Gates wrote that his parents, Bill and Mary Gates, gave him the “accurate fusion of support and pressure”, which he needed to develop his social skills.
“Even with their influence, my social aspects will be slow, like my perception of the impact that I can affect others,” he wrote. “But it came with age, experience, and children. I’m good for it.”
He wrote, “I wanted it to come earlier, no matter what I didn’t exchange for my brain.”
Signs of autism disorder
According to Andy Sea, the highest scientific officer of autism, the signs of autism are associated with social communication skills and restricted repetitive actions.

“This may seem like an eye contact, a delay in language development, the understanding of other people’s emotions, repeating words and phrases, hand -handed flapping, or very specific interest. No, “he told Fox News Digital.
“I don’t exchange the brain given for what.”
In terms of behavior, according to New York’s psychotherapist, Jonathan Alpart, autism spectrum disorders can also appear as “strict dependence on everyday life, specific topic or intense focus on sensory sensitivity.”
ALPERT points out that autism is a spectrum. In other words, the symptoms mean that the severity of the type may be significantly different from the type.
I’m away from the radar
Alpurt confirmed that when Gates was a child like today, autism was “not on the radar of the people.”
“Autism was not widely recognized or understood a few decades ago,” he said. “At that time, the diagnostic criteria were much narrower, and the awareness of medical experts was limited.”

At present, Alpert pointed out that what is known as the autism spectrum is classified in different ways or completely overlooked.
“As a result, many individuals who meet today’s autism standards were not diagnosed.”
Sea agreed that the diagnosis of autism was not very common when Gates grew up in the 1950s and 60s.

“These factors led to previous detection and more diagnosis.”
Alpurt pointed out that the rise in autism is a very discussion topic.
“Many autism diagnosis is likely to be due to improvement in recognition, wider diagnostic criteria, and better access to healthcare services,” he told Fox News Digital.
“Autism was not widely recognized or understood several decades ago.”
However, other factors, such as environmental exposure and genetic primary factors, are also studied as potential contributions.

Sea pointed out that he was still overlooking the diagnosis despite the increase in diagnosis.
