The king of whistleblowers Julian Assange has described himself as a weirdo and a bit autistic in a new "unauthorized autobiography". The new book was partly written by a ghostwriter, and there's a big, complicated acrimonious disagreement between Assange and the publisher. Relationships, personal and professional, don't seem to be a strong point for Assange.
