At various moments in “Elon Musk,” Walter Isaacson’s new biography of the world’s richest person, the author tries to make sense of the billionaire entrepreneur he has shadowed for two years — sitting in on meetings, getting a peek at emails and texts, engaging in “scores of interviews and late-night conversations.”

Where did you get the idea that Elon has autism then? Judging from your comment, diagnosing people by what the news say is quite literally what you do.
Oh please stop playing victim.
Likewise.
I’m not the one diagnosing him. He came out about his diagnosis and you’re dismissing it as if you can know what he can and can’t have based solely on what you read in the news. Only a medical professional in a medical setting can diagnose him. If there is anyone being ableist here, it’s you.
Also, quit gaslighting me about abuse that I had to live through. It comes off as petty.
Pretty much the entire Autism community dismisses him because it’s ridiculous and he’s using it as an excuse to be, well, freaking evil. He knew people woul eat up that crap and they did. He can say he diagnosed himself all he wants, I see it for what it is: Just another of his countless lies.
You were the one who brought up your brother, compared him to Elon Musk and say how his Autism was so bad for you. And depressingly enough the first response you got was the classic: “Oh autists hide behind their diagnoses and that’s so messed up” rhetoric that makes it even harder for neurodervse people to simply, well, exist.
What’s your point?
