Even if it’s true, fuck you for weaponizing your neurodivergence.
- sincerely, an autistic person
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.
The common goal bit might be hard to achieve.
As a parent of someone on the spectrum that tried to help them maintain a DnD campaign, I can’t agree more. 🤣
Is that what 4chan is? Weaponised autism.
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.
Weaponized autism is no joke.
Weaponized Autism
Amen.
As I tell my two sons. “Being autistic does not entitle you to be an insufferable asshole”.
Deal with it SBF.
If he’s mentally incompetent to stand trial, that should have been brought up during pre trial.
They lost. They don’t get to rewind now that they don’t like the sentence.
Yeah, but he’s not mentally incompetent. This is an established behavior pattern for him. He tried this before last year with his ADHD. It was an obvious ploy then. It is an obvious ploy now.
It’s a dumb tactic because ADHD does not render you incapable of standing trial.
Neither does being autistic.
Neither ADHD nor autism count as ‘insanity’ defences. They’re neurological conditions, not mental illnesses that alter the perceived state of reality.
They’re being advanced as mitigating factors for sentencing. He’s entitled to do that and any competent lawyer would (and should) be making these arguments.
Ok, exchange that for the hospital for life sentence that GTA VI leaker got, he’s autistic too
Autistic doesn’t mean you don’t know right from wrong and you’re still accountable for your actions.
The GTA leakers problem was that he didn’t take the olive branch when it was offered to him.
The GTA leakers problem is that he would use any sort of leniency he could to initiate further attacks. The dude performed an attack while already in police custody,
Yes a lot of people said he should have been hired by the CIA or something but that won’t work if he couldn’t have be trusted to follow basic orders.
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?
Looking at how they’re legislating from the bench for Trump, I think you may not like the answer to this question.
The courts aren’t stupid, it’s just his lawyers that are. But that’s rather self-selecting isn’t it since any thinking lawyer wouldn’t touch him with an electrified cattle prod, given the fact that he has a tendency to not pay people.
I call total bullshit.

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.
“help I’m rich and removed”
Just give him a train set and his favorite movie to watch half of and restart before the end, should make it better.

Maybe they should muzzle him and keep him away from keyboards.
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.
EL OH EL.
