From what I've seen on WP, it's pretty common knowledge in the autism community that he probably has Asperger's. Apparently he's undiagnosed or just hasn't come out about it. I think this video makes it pretty obvious that he has some sort of autism.

Apparently, a lot of NORMAL people DO know about it! Warren Buffet, for one. I'm shocked it isn't more public. If my father didn't tell me about Bill Gates, I wouldn't have believed it. He EVEN rocks when playing cards in a NATIONAL COMPETITION!!

Brilliant video!! And actually towards the end, I knew what was coming and I knew that Bill Gates is under the spectrum! I loved it :)
