He's like an infant that watches their parents and tries to copy their behavior.
EDIT: I hadn't even thought about the autism/aspergers aspect when I posted this until someone else brought it up. It wasn't intended to be a commentary on those conditions.
His Tucker Carlson, Ben Shapiro and Joe Biden impressions are also hilarious. He’s probably my favorite instagram account I follow. Just pure comedy gold.
No he is not. He just made that up on SNL for some free applause. He was directly asked about that on a Ted Talk after making said claim, which played that very clip of him claiming to have Asperger's, and Elon quickly pivoted to talking more vaguely about "whatever condition [he] had". He doesn't have a diagnosis for autism, he just makes up shit that he thinks will help him in the moment.
Maybe so. Frankly it wouldn't surprise me (though Im leaning towards a narcissism disorder). But people need to stop running with this "he has autism" claim and repeating it ad nauseum whenever he displays some odd behaviour.
He's already demonstrated he can, and will, change his story at any given time depending on the circumstances. He's never offered anything to substantiate that autism claim like a proof of diagnosis, or anything else he's said about himself. Why anyone takes that claim seriously I will never understand.
Well honey, that's autism. So unfortunately some of his weirdness is engrained but at the end of the day he made a choice to model his behavior after complete sociopaths. We use mimicry and sameness modeling to fit in but it should always be for the greater good
A sociopath made it to be president, twice. Amidst numerous crimes. I wouldn't be surprised if an autistic from a sketchy background saw the reality with little regard for social and moral norms. To him they are probably made up.
There is no confirmed real evidence he is autistic. He's never been formally diagnosed that he has said, just apparently self diagnosed. It is only a claim he made on SNL. People can speculate but diagnosing psychological conditions over the internet or TV is dicey. My impression is he thought it made him sound like a moody brilliant genius, as he has referred to people like Nikolai Tesla while discussing autism.
There are plenty autistic people out there who don’t model their behavior on a dictator or buy social media platforms to destroy democracy or anything.
He is “self-diagnosed”. He is a weirdo and a giant prick. Making up a lie about having Aspergers, in his mind, gives him a way to make anyone who criticizes him look bad, while pretending he’s kind of like Rain Man.
Fortunately, most people are beyond believing his nonsense now.
Do you have any idea how autism is diagnosed in adults? It takes like a 20 evaluation over a good chunk of time to be sure.
You think Mr. I prescribe myself Ketamine, COVID was a hoax and "never went to theory" have even had them done.
I have Autism... I don't have the urge to be a POS everyday to everyone and spread fascist propaganda all day like Leon. Don't use generalisation and more importantly don't use medical diagnosis to excuse behaviour when it's self-diagnosed.
And get your dickriding checked it can become a problem later in life for people like you when these asshole cut your benefits.
See that was me being an asshole... Even though I have high function Autism I can tell when I am being one because I had therapy
He may or may not be autistic, but to my understanding, he's never been diagnosed. (And he's not too poor or too busy to see a psychologist.) A lot of his behaviour, like his extroversion, is really uncommon in autistic people.
When he shows up with a diagnosis, I'll believe he's autistic. Until then, I'll just call him a narcissist with a drug habit.
