“This is a man with Aspergers exuberantly throwing his heart to the crowd,” the journalist said, calling Musk “a friend to the Jews.”
Also, Asperger’s is no longer a medical term and there is no indication that Elon has ever actually been evaluated. Autism is not an excuse to throw a Nazi salute, for fuck’s sake!
For lack of a better term I find it “interesting” that they’re using the outdated term named for a Nazi collaborator
as a matter of fact, Hans Asperger’s work during the national socialist years in Vienna can actually be described as dialectic. a rough summary would be that while participating in the evaluation and killing of children he developed his dissertation in order to get some of the kids out of the T4 program. that dissertation later became the base for the diagnosis that was named after him and found its way into popular culture.
Autist here, while I can be awkward and accidentally do or say offensive things not meaning them…
A full on fucking Hitler salute isn’t even something we can do on accident.
Closest I’ve gotten was while getting excited in public shouting “WHITE POWER!”
Context: I was playing a Power Rangers game on my phone, and got Tommy Oliver’s White Ranger, my voice went out before I could say “Ranger”… I am very bad at controlling the volume of my voice. Seriously, sometimes I’ll say something and it sounds like I’m whispering, but I"m yelling and vice versa. I have no idea what’s up with that, people often have to tell me if I’m yelling or not.
Did you turn around and say the same thing to the people behind you? The first one I could maybe say he did a fucked up dab. When he did it again…. I’m speechless.
