I don't want to judge anyone but myself, but when a guy with severe autism is able to finish 6 courses and I am not, it doesn't quite matter that I am full time employed while trying to build 2 startups, being married, having a kid and getting involved into local community by being an active member of the second largest political party in romania

This is incoherent. You are comparing a deficit in literal ability to complete the courses (through some sort of disorder) with an inability to find the time to complete them. Just because someone is "autistic" does not mean that you necessarily ought to be able to achieve more than them, especially when there are wildly divergent constraints for both of you. There is no logical basis whatsoever for your assertion.
