His IQ is measured to be 160. He is diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome.
At the age of 13, Gates and his friend Paul Allen started working with computers. They tried to develop games, a tool to measure the traffic pattern and a system to create the time schedule for the entire school. Gates would leave at night to work on the primitive computer and come back, without his parents even knowing that he had been gone. Gates mother sometimes worried that her son was socially awkward.
