Some mentions:
- in episode 5 "The Partner" of The Playlist, an awesome 20222 Netflix series about the history of Spotify, a hypothetical Peter Thiel diagnozes Spotify co-founder Martin Lorentzon with ADHD, and mentions that a large number of rich people are neurodiverse, 30% in the tech industry as opposed to 5% in the general population
