tbf, i’ve once met an autistic person who was just an ass, and they excused all of their assholery by saying “i’m not rude to you or anybody, i’m autistic, i don’t intend to be rude, if you think anything i said is rude you’re hallucinating”
and i know for a fact it’s not the autism’s fault, because quite a few also autistic people criticised them for being an ass so
I hate how people claim to be autistic as an excuse for being an asshole. Elon Musk is the king of that. And as far as I know, he’s self-diagnosed.
Maybe he is autistic, but that is not why he is an asshole.
Similarly, my brother is autistic, but his autism is not the reason why he screams the “n-word” in his car when he’s alone so he can be “transgressive.” (The autism might be why he told everyone he knew on Facebook though.) Autism is not an excuse for a lack of basic morals. In fact, I have known plenty of autistic people who are not just very moral and ethical, but rigidly and inflexibly so.
Oh for sure. There are some people who crutch disabilities of all sorts to justify poor behavior, but they’re by far the minority. I was just having fun with the shitpost.
