Ammon News - Phoebe Gates appears to have revealed that her father, Bill Gates, has “Asperger’s syndrome.”

During this week’s episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast, host Alex Cooper asked the 22-year-old daughter of the billionaire Microsoft co-founder what her experience has been with bringing friends home to her dad.

Her response: “For the friends, terrifying. For me, it’s hilarious because my dad’s pretty socially awkward. Like he’s said before, he has Asperger’s. So, like to me, it’s so funny.”

The 69-year-old software engineer has never spoken publicly about having Asperger’s syndrome, a diagnosis previously given to some autistic people. The term has since been merged with other conditions into autism spectrum disorder (ASD). People with ASD may experience social and communication difficulties, obsessive interests, and repetitive behaviors. Independent
