Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has given away billions , but 'still has more to give' Reveals new numbers on how much his charitable Foundation has now spent in its efforts to combat preventable diseases and reduce poverty.

Gates says philanthropy was instilled in him early on and he enjoys giving his money away.

In his memoir, Gates reveals he thinks if he were growing up today , he'd probably be diagnosed on the autism spectrum.

Elon Musk has also said he is on the spectrum, referencing Asperger 's syndrome.

Gates says he hasn't had a formal diagnosis and doesn't plan to.

He says neurodiversity is "certainly" over-represented in Silicon Valley because "learning something in great depth at a young age helps you in certain complex subjects".

Now Gates has written his own. His philosophy? "Much of who you are was there from the start." The Making of Bill Gates is on BBC Two at 19:00 on Monday 3 February and on iPlayer Source Code: My Beginnings is published on Tuesday 4 February .
