You should try to convince people Beethoven's music sucks because he was deaf. There's really no reason a deaf person can't be great with music.

Irrelevant to the topic, but he only went deaf at the end of his life.

I believe it is a reasonable assumption that someone would have a hard time composing music if he/she were born deaf.

The context isn't an autistic person being great at people but getting sidelined for the label of autistic so Beethoven seems a bit irrelevant.
