I'm autistic, and have met many autistic people throughout my life. Our most consistent trait, as a group, is our unwavering empathy and dedication to our individual code of ethics. We're not people that can typically allow or stay in a scenario where we, or others, are being abused. Not to say every autistic person is a saint or that there are no autistic assholes out there. I just believe that, given my personal experience, it's extremely unlikely a man as evil as Elon could be autistic. Also, the way he seems to live his life, in general, just seems to be counter-intuitive to everything I have come to understand is essential to living a healthy, satisfactory life as an autistic person. We are all capable of different things but, my point is; IMHO, if he were autistic, given his behavior, speech, lifestyle, and overall presentation to the world, he would be such an anomoly, if he were autistic, that it is far more simple to conclude that he's lying about being autistic to justify him being an asshole.
