I am so sick of seeing people try to defend Elon Musk's toxic behavior by pointing to his autism.

Let me be clear as someone with cerebral palsy and ADHD: Autism/neurodivergence/disability is never an excuse for malicious actions. Plenty of people are autistic without being assholes.

@seanthegeek Actually most autistics come off that way, however unintentionally.

@scenario Some autistics some of the time come off as offensive. The key distinction with Musk is he is trolling far too consistently for it to be unintentional. Autistic people learn and adapt β€” trolls like him keep pushing with the intent harm while yelling autism when people push back, as if just claiming it should make them immune from criticism, when it never should. That pushes false stereotypes about autism, and causes severe harm to the #autistic, #neurodivergent, #disability, and #MentalHealth communities, as you can see In other replies to this post.

@seanthegeek @scenario is he saying he has autism? Well, there’s a big difference between being autistic and being a jerk.
@viviano @seanthegeek He, who? Musk?
@scenario @viviano ,Yes. #Musk keeps using his massive following to #troll #LGBT people and push #COVID19 #disinformation over and over again. His fans keep defending this toxic by pointing to him having #autism, which is not an excuse for w he's not accidentally breaking a social norm or overstepping β€” he's just being an asshole while putting on this rapidly evaporating persona of being a misunderstood genius. Like #Trump, he's a malicious narcissist whose ego thrives on attention β€” good or bad β€” consequences for everyone else be same.
