I don't think that's a good enough reason for interacting with the world as though you have aspergers. The technical excellence of linux may offset the problems caused by such an abrasive method of interpersonal relationships but that doesn't make it ok.
Ah, so it's not okay to act like Linus did, but it is okay to throw out Asperger's like it's an insult? Your morals around civility are curiously labile.
For the record, Linus's behaviour is not typical of Asperger's Syndrome.
