This wasn't so much of an emotional handicap, I think, as it was a weird stunt—Avie Tevanian said in his Oral History for CHm that Steve would regularly oppose new ideas just to see if the people bringing them forward really believed in them. Once you convinced him of the idea's merits, he'd then become their greatest champion. As Menuez says in the article,
QuoteI'd seen what happened to anyone confronted by Steve who wavered. You had to stand up for your ideas and fight.
The handicapping more applies to the fact that he couldn't pass the shopping cart test (

The story I heard was in reference to his affinity for illegally parking in handicap spaces.
Yes, literally that's what happened... but I cannot believe he'd put his shopping cart away, either!
