@borko there are zero indicators he is not autistic. Please just stop already, you are being ignorant

@Sonikku what's amazing to me is that just a few days ago I was watching some YouTube video on Star Trek(ahem) technology, and Pulse acceleration in particular... how it would be a while, CERN, blablabla, not able to create the energy to create the energy (ha), and now I'm sitting here just thinking: THIS IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING and nobody gets my excitement 😭

@borko I get that, but you can't say someone isn't autistic just because they aren't a good person.

@Brixdan heh yeah. It's really a collossally awful shit show and makes you wonder how people could EVER have thought it was a good idea to have that be an official diagnosis to begin with. Some thought processing just makes my brain short circuit

@borko autistic people are autistic. Nothing else to it. We are not better or worse than anyone else. We are neither super heroes not super villains. Some of us are awesome, admirable people, and some of us are Elon Musk.

@Brixdan but as I said, I agree with you. When I originally got that particular diagnosis I read up on it and immediately decided I'd NEVER call myself that. I do understand how some may do still, to a point, but I have huge issues just respecting this particular diagnosis. And honestly, in regards to EM, I am not at all surprised that he has no issues using it and being proud of it, even. Asperger superiority is definitely a thing

@Brixdan the USA uses the ICD, too.
