He has Asperger’s and has talked openly about his difficulty understanding social cues.

I don’t think that fully excuses or justified everything he does, but it has some explanatory power.

It’s obvious by his work output that he is not a very typical person, and it seems like society as a whole is gaining tremendous benefit from his eccentricity. I don’t think we have to like him, but speaking for myself, I still respect him and on the whole am grateful for his life’s work. I wish he’d stay away from Twitter… but, oh well.
