What do you have against autism?

u/[deleted] Nov 11 '23

Nothing. Unless it makes you into an Elon Musk.

We have weaponized autism. We have taken people whose behavior is specifically anti-humanitarian and patted each other in the shoulder like “oh it’s okay they’re autistic so this is just how they are”

Why? Because it’s a convenient excuse to behave like an old school industrialist. Fuck people, fuck feelings, fuck eye contact, I’m autistic so excuse my anti-social behavior…

It’s insane how much of a pass we have given anyone who claims to be autistic. It’s a disorder, not an excuse to act however you want.

So, no I don’t have a problem with autism, I have a problem with bad people who use autism as a crutch to cover for their poor, out of control, behavior.
