    Isn’t the whole “autistic people don’t have empathy” thing a long debunked myth anyway? It’s generally, among autistic people, seen as ablest to assume they are incapable of empathy, which would make Elon’s/Elon’s supporter’s excuses for him in this respect DOA.

      Yes, autistic people struggle with telling how a person is feeling, but once they know, they can be the most empathetic people ever. fElon is using it as an excuse to treat everyone like shit.

      Well my guess is he has narcissism but they told him it’s autism because it’s often a bad idea to tell a narcissist they have narcissism.
