Mark Rober is a dick tho
Damn, really? That's disappointing to learn, why's he a dick?
Ok so not nessesarialy a dick, just a strong reaction with his name sorry.
In his video saying he has an autistic son, he did a charity event for NEXT for autism, who wish to 'cure' autism, and have worked with Autism speaks before. The actual event before changes made due to criticism had like no autistic voices present. I don't think Mark is a dick because he seems to genuinely love his son, but was just uninformed about the harm that group does.
I'd call that disappointing, Autism Speaks is a shitty group. Neurodivergence doesn't need to be "cured". I even thought Rober might be on the spectrum himself.
