I'm just glad they got a power hungry, austistic lunatic in charge now, so everyone can see this is absolutely the end game, before this becomes normalized and people like me get called retarded for not wanting a car that can be remote deactivated.

    Autism doesn’t make someone an asshole. Let’s not normalise hatred of neurodivergence

    The user also dropped the R slur. The “people like me” part stands out to me as a little suspect as well.

    It doesn't but a neurodivergent person can absolutely be an arsehole.

    Its not a magic label that makes everything "quirky" and "eccentric".

    Nobody said that. They were simply correcting the misconception that autism is bad.

    And i was correcting the misconception that just because someone is neurodivergent doesn't make them immune to being an arsehole.

    Neurodivergent people are people, with all that entails.

    Nobody said autism is bad (in the chain im replying to), but here we are.

    Two statements that never happened with two corrections that aren't needed apparently.

    They did say autism was bad. That’s the whole point of the correction. Are you just dead set on being an asshole?

    The entire post was :

    I’m just glad they got a power hungry, austistic lunatic in charge now, so everyone can see this is absolutely the end game, before this becomes normalized and people like me get called retarded for not wanting a car that can be remote deactivated.

    Point at where the person said autism was bad and i'll drop it.

    If you cannot parse “power hungry autistic lunatic” as having negative connotations then I’m not sure what I could ever attempt to discuss with you.

    If you want to pretend your interpretation of three descriptors is universal then i'm not sure discussion is what you are looking for.

    Two potentially (probably) negative and one neutral, to me, but what do i know , you are the arbiter of correct interpretations after all.

    Lmao yes, that’s right. Autistic is just mentioned neutrally in a list. Can’t make this shit up.

    I see no difference between calling him autistic and calling him narcissistic, except that one of those two mental disorders is one he claims to have a diagnosis for. Let's fry the bigger fish first and then circle back to autism.
