I strongly suspect that there will be a line of bigotry / microagression that goes something like, "Look what Elon Musk did -- he has Aspberger's and he became the world's richest man! What's your excuse?"
I mean I'm highly suspicious he even suffers from the syndrome but I don't want to be like that and be the arbiter of who is and isn't truly on the spectrum. But regardless of that, of course people will conveniently leave out that he came from a wealthy family that owned diamond mines in africa allowing him the resources to do whatever he wanted in life.
Doesn't it negatively effect people as in makes their life worse? I'm not looking to pick fights here don't jump on me if I'm out of place here please.
Alright thanks for enlightening me. See, it's easy to correct someone when they're wrong in good faith instead of just always defaulting to someone is a piece of shit because they're uninformed and hitting them with snarked out emotes.
Many people have many different experiences with it. Autism is unavoidably a disability in many respects, but some people have their own manifestations of autism that don't necessarily conflict with the life that they have. These people, as few as they may seem, still have a valid experience.
It can be disheartening to learn about the lives of such people when one's own experience with autism is marred with executive dysfunction and degraded interpersonal relationships due to being socially graceless (or a myriad of other things). You're not the only person who has felt left out in regards to advocation for neurodivergent acceptance, some people harbor absolutely no positive or neutral feelings for the challenges they face. It's an especially common sentiment among people who suffer schizophrenia, for example (as most experts never even attempt to assert positive qualities for schizophrenia as they might try for other disorders).
Many people who promote neurodiversity simply do it out of the hopes that the world would be a better place for those with mental disabilities. They don't necessarily want to make any declaration about how suffering is entirely external.
Oh god is he really saying he has this now? What a piece of shit, how fucking cynical.

I'm ducking out of this conversation. I really don't want to be lectured about how much of a piece of shit I am today, I'm not in the mood for it.

I'm not trying to be a dick or split hairs, but I don't suffer from anything, I just am the way I am. Don't make declarations for whole groups
