Even if it's true, fuck you for weaponizing your neurodivergence.

Weaponised autism dont say that too loud thw americans might start recruiting

There's fewer weapons more powerful than a large group of autistic people with a common goal. I'm joking, but also wholeheartedly believe that.

Is that what 4chan is? Weaponised autism.

Weaponized autism is no joke.

Yeah, he pulled basically the same bullshit months ago with his ADHD (made a big legal deal about taking a fuckin pill at some point during the day to the extent that his legal team and the judge got involved in a matter that should be handled entirely between Sam and whoever his doctor is - clearly a my BrAin iS WEirD So tREaT Me sPEciAL tactic, which I have encountered before and find uniquely aggravating), which I personally live with, so I 100% get you.

As I tell my two sons. "Being autistic does not entitle you to be an insufferable asshole".

Deal with it SBF.

Ok, exchange that for the hospital for life sentence that GTA VI leaker got, he's autistic too

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

From reading about the GTA leaker, he was repeatedly involved in hacking/extortion attempts with multiple companies causing millions in damages, and he repeatedly said that he would immediately go back to doing it again as soon as he got Internet access again.

So basically he's going to immediately start causing real world damages if released, and he has no intention of pretending otherwise or complying with any kind of probation/etc.

How STUPID does he think the court are?

You know what I didn't have to learn when I was learning to mask?

How to not be a greedy amoral asshole.

'Cuase that shit ain't autistic.

Just give him a train set and his favorite movie to watch half of and restart before the end, should make it better.

the lie detector determined that was a lie.

This would be great for me. A precident that basically any engineer can get softer sentencing- excellent 👌

Seriously though no, that's not how autism works.
