A drawing that he supposedly made:

I wonder if he actually drew this as a kid or he, as the manchild he is, just doodled this up to post on twitter. Don’t know which is worse.

    A kid, especially a young kid, being obsessed with something doesn’t mean you’re the king of neurodivergence. Some kids get preoccupied with things.

    Note how he says that his mum got him tested but he doesn’t mention any results?

    Last of all, I’m sick to death of people claiming they’re autistic and therefore that means they have the R-word pass:

    1. How are you using that term in a reclamatory fashion, Drew?

    2. How do you, a person who has never been diagnosed with an intellectual disability, have a right to argue for reclamation over a term that is not yours to claim?

    This tweet is dripping in ableism. If you want to argue that it’s actually lateral ableism, whatever. He chose to go public with this stuff and he deserves a call out rather than a call in as far as I’m concerned.

        I used to work at a place where several of us were pretty close would go out to bars and shows and stuff. One friend of mine told me about how he asked another friend of ours if a third friend was autistic and he legit said “oh yeah she draws real good”.
