A lot of people seems to use terms like "autistic" like a negative loaded word.. like there is something wrong with people on the spectrum.. They also want to box them into certain behaviours no matter the person... The truth is.. many people on the spectrum are highly succesful in our world and they are all unique..

It is great to see yet another person openly talk about being on the spectrum and lets be honest! Few would call Elon Musk unsuccessful in a business perspective.


So what do you think about Elon Musk and how much do you actually know about people on the spectrum? I am neurotypical and obviously can´t set myself in their perspective 100% but I can understand why some people are different to me.. I am different to them as well after all... We all also have some traits that you would "label" on the spectrum.. all of us!


I recommend this video for some insights.

All the autistic people I know are lovely, including the autism class I teach - just amazing, clever, thoughtful kids.

And then there's Elon Musk.

Don't they say everyone is on the spectrum?

Nah, people worship that useless hack Jeff Bezos way worse.

Jeff who? Oh Amazon founder.

Yeah but you wouldn't want to know him.

Who would call him that he is the richest man in the world and he is also pretty smart

He only said that because it makes him unique, as thin-skinned wealthy trainwrecks who constantly put their feet in their mouths and double and triple down on everything have hosted it before.

Everyone is "on the spectrum".

That's why it's called a "spectrum".

Soon he will surpass Tod Howard with the amount of lies he has been spewing .

Can't say I buy it either, completely unrelated to his wealth and status, as I believe someone with the syndrome definitely could achieve that, it's purely based on my takeaway on his character

Nah, bit of a misconception. The spectrum isn't 'non-autistic' at one end and 'very autistic' at the other, it's about the breadth of autistic behaviours and experiences. We're not 'all on the spectrum'. Autistic people are.

No, it's called a spectrum because it's a range of something, dag nabbit. A rainbow has a spectrum but I'm not a colour.

Great now this post makes me look like a schizoposter.

Oh, I like your post. And yes, it's actually not "everyone's on the spectrum"; it's more like "everyone's on several intersecting spectra".

I think that's a good take.

It's a topic up for debate, not sure if people will ever agree on it while we don't have sufficient knowledge of the brain, hopefully in the coming years we can see a more defined answer to the subject
