Aspergers

Right now, I am listening to a recording of the book about Steven Jobs. From what I can tell, he had a degree of Aspergers. At least that would help explain his unusual behaviours and difficult interpersonal relationships. Interestingly, today there is an article in the business section of the Toronto Star about Mark Zuckerberg, founder of facebook and he seems to exhibit some of the same kind of behaviours toward employees as Steve Job. Sadly, each of them abused their employees to a certain extent. Steve Wozniak was a different kind of boss but did not want to get involved in the kind of interplay that Steve Jobs did. In the article about Mark Zuckerberg, a former employee Yishan Wong found that after awhile he could not continue to work in the pressure cooker. He was a good employee but left. The article does not get into what caused him to leave. Probably in a number of years, there will be someone who writes about Zuckerberg. Wonder if anyone will see the similarities in behaviours.
