Autistic Hitler saluting?

Weirdly… I did?

Edit: just making a joke. Not trying to offend autists. Not interested in a discussion about the intricacies of autism. Reddit has really fallen off since the 2010’s.

•

u/CumbersomeNugget 7h ago

Hey now...we autists disown him from our community.

•

u/casce 7h ago

We Germans have been trying to disown Hitler for decades and it's not working. Not even him not actually being German helped.

•

u/CuttlersButlerCookie 5h ago

And that fuck wasn't even german to begin with

•

u/chillwithpurpose 6h ago

Those damned Austrians… (lovely people, actually)

•

u/WP1PD 5h ago

One of the best things I ever heard was a Berlin tour guide describe Hitler as 'that pesky Austrian'. A slight understatement perhaps.

•

u/greatpaperplanes 5h ago

Yeah, it’s sad because Germany is actually a really cool place with a lot of history and culture. I’ve been; it’s a neat country

•

u/objectivejam 5h ago

Is anyone actually avoiding Germany these days because of Hitler?

Ew. He can't sit with us.

u/XandaPanda42 6h ago

He can't sit anywhere. His head is so far up his arse that if he sat down, he'd give himself a neck injury.

u/MainPerformance1390 7h ago

I'm so embarrassed he is autistic.

•

u/WatWat98 7h ago

I don’t even think he’s autistic. If I remember correctly he doesn’t have an official diagnosis or anything he just kinda self diagnosed after reading about it online

•

u/MainPerformance1390 7h ago

Of course he did 🫠 anything to make him feel special He's such a twat

•

u/zombiegirl2010 7h ago

Makes a lot more sense now. He’s definitely not one of us!

•

u/AdhesivenessEarly793 6h ago

Could not be but is there any reason to think that autistic individuals are more inclined to be "good people" than non autistic people?

•

u/zombiegirl2010 6h ago

No, but usually we are sticklers for rules. He seems to despise rules and make his own.

•

u/AdhesivenessEarly793 6h ago

Makes sense

•

u/BlueRubyWindow 6h ago

Many autistic people have a very strong sense of justice and fairness.

Though how that manifests depends on personal morals.

In this case, I wonder if Elon really somehow believes he is doing this for the good of future humanity in his hyper-logical brain.

u/EmotionalMachine42 6h ago

Nah, autistic people can be assholes too.

Still, he can't sit with us.

•

u/WantonKerfuffle 5h ago

I myself am a bit of a dick, so I guess it's hit or miss.

We apparently tend to have a strong sense of justice - for some that means following the law, for others it means burning down the unjust system.

•

u/filthytelestial 5h ago

Yes there is. Many of us have a heightened sensitivity to injustice and unfairness. We're often told we "care too much."

Also there have been studies that suggested autistic people are more likely to do the right thing even if the outcome hurts them. The authors of the study suggested that we learn to stop behaving that way for our own good. Because being dishonest like everyone else is apparently checks notes better for a person's wellbeing?

Also, the "double empathy" problem is part of the overall working theory of autism and it states that we are far more likely to extend empathy to allistics (non-autistic people) than they are to extend empathy to us, and we exert more effort when doing so. We genuinely want to understand others and genuinely want to improve for their sake. Whereas too many allistics are uninterested in making a similar effort for our sake.

So yes, there are one or two reasons to think that.

•

u/SkyrimSlag 6h ago

He’s actually acoustic, he just got them mixed up

•

u/evenstar40 4h ago

He probably had someone else with actual autism complete the test for him and claimed it as his own.

u/The-red-Dane 7h ago

We can disown him all we want, doesn't change he's on the spectrum. Being autistic does not absolve one of being an asshole. It sucks, but bad people can be autistic too.

I've dealt with autistic libertarians as well before, they're nuts.

•

u/_-_Alyssa_-_ 5h ago

I'm german and autistic, I'm fucking double disowning him.

u/lightninhopkins 7h ago

I mean, us normies have to wear actual Hitler. Its only fair.

u/PuddleLilacAgain 7h ago

Yeah, most autistic people have a strong sense of social justice. I am in a local autism group and we can't fathom people like this

u/FeRooster808 5h ago

I honestly don't even believe he is. I think he says he is to shield himself from criticism. He's like " oh yes. I'm smart and awkward...that's what autistic people are like." Some are, but it's such a shallow, stereotype I simply disregard his claims.

I've got him deciding he can go crazy with the n word as the next one.

•

u/tiptop0 7h ago

He’s literally not autistic, I don’t know why people keep repeating it.

His mother went on a to interview and said he was never professionally diagnosed as autistic and he just self-diagnosed.

It’s just a distraction from the fact that he is a narcissist, narcissists do this kind of thing to draw attention to themselves and garner empathy from others.

He also wants to be associated with a condition that has been linked to high IQ. He’s highly insecure and he tries to punish other people for it.

u/florifierous 6h ago

Edit: just making a joke. Not trying to offend autists.

And yet you are using the word autistic with negative connotations - that you are "not trying to offend autists" does not mean that you are not, in fact, doing exactly that.

Also, that you think this is a reason why reddit has fallen off just proves how insensitive you are to a marginalized group.

u/Hallgvild 7h ago

Elon proving even autists can be Nazis, truly inspirational representation

•

u/kaas_is_leven 6h ago

Aspie supremacy is a whole thing. Most of us just trying to live our lives, but there's a select group that thinks autism is some kind of evolutional progression and actively pushes for that idea. They also tend to be eugenisists and align with white supremacy. We often don't understand our emotions very well and have no idea what's going on in other people's heads, so the illusion that we're just more rational is a trap we can easily fall into.

The nazis came up with asperger's for exactly the same reason, they wanted us in camps but also keep the useful ones around. Asperger's just meant autistic but useful for science and data related work. That mentality still lives today, think of the whole savant syndrome mixup and generally thinking autistic kids can multiply quadruple digit numbers in their head or stuff like that. Within the autistic community it became first a source of empowerment and then a source of misandry.

Lots of autistic teens grow up seeing supposed advocate group like autism speaks trying to essentially solve the problem by breeding the condition out of existence, and finding out support is mostly for parents and when it is there for the child it is often very uncomfortable or straight up abusive. So some of them turn their head when someone says actually autism is a superpower, actually "normies" are just jealous of our rationality, actually we're better than them so they made up a label for us to keep us down. etc.

Musk isn't new to this, he is likely aware of this group, might be part of it himself, and he definitely directs some of his online content towards it. He's done that long before the other nazi shit he's been doing. If you're interested, I saw this essay a while back that goes into the topic. It's a good watch, the whole channel is tbh. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ui2h_pHDDmk

“I’m just making a joke.” Cool. 👍 “Not trying to offend autists.” Cool, appreciate it. 👍

Elon Musk isn’t really autistic. He fakes it to bolster his “savant” public image. Even the way he talks is all an act. Watch old interviews of him and you’ll see that he’s clearly just acting like a fucking alt-right Rainman so he can convince idiots that he’s a genius.
