Elon Musk is an Aspie Supremacist
What that means and why it matters (a lot)
Elon Musk is an aspie supremacist, in addition to — or, as part of — being a neo-nazi fascist. Aspie supremacy is an “ideology is based upon the belief that people with Asperger’s are superior to other autistics as well as to non-autistics”.
I’ll explain why this is so important and highly relevant — and why the majority of the Autistic community does not identify with Musk’s hateful, bigoted views. Autism is not an excuse for hate or bigotry, and people like Musk give all Autistics a dangerously bad name.
We face enough ableism and prejudice based on our neurotype, we don’t need people thinking we support this kind of shit.
Ahead by a century
Nearly a century ago — before the Nazis entered the scene — professionals in the fields of childcare, nursing, psychology, and psychiatry were expressing ideas that many of us are still trying to convey today.
Dr. Grunya Sukhareva, a renowned Russian child and adolescent psychiatrist, published articles in 1925 and 1926 which contain the first academic description of autism in young male and female patients. In 1928 and 1932, a nurse named Viktorine Zak published articles describing how she and her colleagues worked with children.
