What’s great about this, and Stephen Fry is brilliant, is not that he’s absolving Musk, or that he’s criticizing Tesla, but that it is an argument likely leading to Elon Musk protesting,

‘No, my cars are good enough that I can be a Nazi!’

    You have offended every autistic person by thinking you can both diagnose autism from a distance and that you personally have that ability.

    What other medical issues do you think you personally can “clinically” diagnose in someone without ever talking to them? What gives you the tools or knowledge to do so? You apparently have no professional training in the field.

    Of course you pretending to be a doctor and diagnosing people is offensive. I imagine you wouldn’t dream of doing that with, for example, HIV just because someone has certain mannerisms. And the fact that you don’t understand that is pretty fucking wild.

      Ok, having the opinion that someone is autistic is BAD, claiming to speak for every autistic person is GOOD.

      Got it.

        It’s like you aren’t even reading my posts. Every single one of them is about you claiming you can diagnose autism by seeing someone on TV.

          Well, apparently you’re a lot more interested in me than I am in you.

            I wouldn’t say a lot. Especially not now that it’s clear you never plan to address what I’m saying.

            But congratulations on explaining how much better you are than me. Good for you. I’m sure you feel the same way about any autistic person you happen to talk to. Superior.
