I'm with him on this one


Posts/comments here/elsewhere about DeSantis being on the spectrum are pretty disparaging of people who are actually on the spectrum. Not just because he's a jackass ("hey, look, this douchebag is on the spectrum") but just generally because it's sort of being talked about as an insult toward him.

Imagine you're the parent of an autistic child, or on the spectrum yourself, and you see stuff in the media that basically equates DeSantis's douchebaggery and awkwardness to being on the spectrum.

It should just be left out. Call him stiff or awkward if you want (and he is) but skip the spectrum stuff.
