A quick Google tells you that he probably did.

I'm not going to Google Spielburg but I worked for a national leader in educating children on the spectrum and they used both people as examples.

I literally just googled it and there are lots of pages saying he probably is or at least has traits of people on the spectrum...

What do you think about Steve Jobs? I notice you didn't mention him.

Steve Jobs was also not diagnosed with Asperger’s you weirdo. The self diagnosing dead people is weird and you have quite literally missed the entire point of this conversation.

Spielberg had an NPR article with false information published about him… literally top result on Google.

You can't self diagnose someone else. A self diagnosis is a self diagnosis.

You're missing the point. I'll happily say that I was incorrect about Spielburg and that this was just a case of fake news. However, Alan Turing is widely regarded as being on the spectrum and so is Jobs. There are lots of reasons why they weren't diagnosed as such but the fact that you're trying to cancel that part of them out is odd to me.
