His 22 -year -old daughter Bill GatesPhoebe Gates, confirmed that her billionaire father is suffering from Asperger’s Syndrome.
Phoebe Gates revealed Microsoft’s co -founder Bill Gates in Wednesday’s episode (30.04.2025) podcast «Call Her Daddy» την Alex Cooper.
“It is scary for man. For me, it’s hilarious because my dad is pretty much socially clumsy. As it has said before, it has Asperger’s syndrome. So, for me it’s very funny, “he explained.
The 69 -year -old tycoon has never publicly stated that he is suffering from a syndrome, although he revealed that it is likely to have an autistic spectrum disorder (DEF).
“If I grew up today, I would probably have been diagnosed with autistic spectrum disorder,” Bill wrote in his memoirs in 2025, “Source Code”.
“In my childhood, the fact that the brains of some people process information differently from others was not widely understood,” he said, and continued: “My parents had no drivers or manuals to help them understand why their son was obsessed with some projects and could not be rude and inappropriate.”
Although Gates had never been diagnosed, He knew from an early age that his mind worked differently than his peers.
“I always knew that I was different in ways to confuse people in terms of energy and intensity,” he told Axios last February.
