Oh sure. There are people who crutch all sorts of disabilities and use them to justify poor behavior. I was just having fun with the shitpost.

and i know for a fact it’s not the autism’s fault, because quite a few also autistic people criticised them for being an ass so

I hate how people claim to be autistic as an excuse for being an asshole. Elon Musk is the king of that. And as far as I know, he’s self-diagnosed.
Maybe he is autistic, but that is not why he is an asshole.
Similarly, my brother is autistic, but his autism is not the reason why he screams the “n-word” in his car when he’s alone so he can be “transgressive.” (The autism might be why he told everyone he knew on Facebook though.) Autism is not an excuse for a lack of basic morals. In fact, I have known plenty of autistic people who are not just very moral and ethical, but rigidly and inflexibly so.
