Elmo has aspergers, a form of autism. RFK says people with autism can’t use the bathroom by themselves.
Elon was never diagnosed with autism, afaik. He just tells everyone he has it
because he can’t use the bathroom unassisted.
his peepee is mangled from a botched surgery, so he probably sits down.
As much as I hate to say this in response to your comment, self diagnosis is valid.
Mostly the context is for people without resources, however, so your point is fair. Taking away validity for marginalized groups’ experiences is at risk with that stance though.
Thanks if you read this and I hope you have a great day otherwise. /gen
Self diagnosis is not valid. Stop pretending it is
self diagnosis is valid.
I agree. And in my country, waiting lists for any professional diagnosis are extremely long, especially for adults.
He’s got narcissistic personality disorder not autism.
Rfk just hates autists since the only one he thinks hes met is musk.
Which from an ignorant perspective, leaning on your only experience being with musk, that… Kinda tracks actually.
How do you get so fucking absorbed into the causes of autism and yet have never even met autistic people? Even kid who are level 3 can usually learn to potty train so long as they don’t have physical impairments or learning disabilities that prevent it. It’s hard as hell, I’m sure, when they are completely non-verbal/non-communicative, have sensory issues, and struggle with routine change, and maybe not every level 3 kid gets there. But that’s certainly not the case for the majority of autistic people.
he just self-diagnosed to excuse his POS behaviour, he probably doesnt have, it but a genuine narcisstic psychopath much like trump.
Yeah at first that’s what I thought the headline was referring to
I can’t use the bathroom unassisted either. Big shout out to gravity for being the force that allows poop to come out of my butt, and not float around the house until you open a window, and it just happens to float outside.
But then outside there would be just a mess of poop and other debris just floating around the city all willynilly.
Boy I sure do love the combination of indoor plumbing and gravity. It’s been at least 40 years since I held a human turd. If I ever did. I don’t know. I would have been a toddler, and don’t remember.
Well that, uh
That certainly was a comment
Whew, yes sir
Definitely a collection of words there, yup
yeah, i don’t believe them.
everybody remembers the last time they held a turd.
I did hold one and painted the walls with it, all happy and giggling - per account by my mother
There’s an episode of How I Met Your Mother where Marshal tells stories that happened to him. Then the rest of the gang try to guess if he was a kid or if he was an adult but drunk in that story.
Your story would be great for that game. Maybe you were a toddler. Maybe this was how you ruined Thanksgiving 2024.
I wouldn’t expect a person peddling snake oil to understand or care that autism is a spectrum
With his head that far up his ass, I wouldn’t be surprised.
I’m obviously OOTL here- I’ve known people with Asperger’s and they used the bathroom by themselves just fine. What’s going on? I don’t live in US
Rfk Jr has a long history of being wrong about everything he says. He doesn’t want to break character now.
Oh I see. So he said Aspergers can’t use the toilet unassisted, not that Elon needs assistance
Person with autism here: the truth is even if some people on the spectrum can’t use the bathroom by themselves, it’s either a comorbidity linked to a different disability or it’s obscenely rare.
The way autism expresses in different people is very complex and this is this is one of the worst mischaracterizations I’ve ever seen.
That guy shouldn’t be able to touch the US health department or any other health organization for that matter with a ten foot pole. He is explicitly and intentionally spreading lies on a variety of different topics and should have no authority.
Please don’t call him Elmo as that’s insulting to Elmo
“El-mo”? More like “El-NO”! Amiright, guys?
That sounds Mexican
Let’s deport him
You magnificent bastard… 🤘
Thank you.
could be the amount of cocaine he has taken that makes him incontinent.
Okay, I didn’t know he had Aspergers, but that doesn’t excuse his racism.
I have relatives with aspergers and none of them are facist assholes
He said what?! Motherfucker I used the toilet 5 minutes ago!
I know, and were still cleaning it up!
That would explain why Musk is full of shit.
I read this as RFK Jr said Elmo has asparagus and was not surprised in the slightest.
'T is the season.
He ALSO said he Doesn’t pay TAXES so CHECKMATE!
No politics, remember?
The selective enforcement of rules has gotten out of hand.
Why don’t you maditate about it? lol

Honestly, this is nonsense. Instead of making memes we really should be breaking out the guillotines. Seriously.

All these jokes about guillotines is getting old. Either shit or get off the pot.

It’s at the point where the president wants to deport citizens for not being white enough, it’s about to to stop chilling.

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

I’m not sure vaccines are a class issue, it seems to cross the spectrum.
