Not really. I have heard plenty of stories of people with aspergers having to to quit due to being ostracised by management or getting fired. Then going on to on to form companies or invent new technologies. Meaning they weren't fired for performance or skills reasons but because of their eccentricities.

One I can think of is Bram Cohen.
