I'm sorry if this is not the best place for this, I couldn't think of anywhere better to ask about it

the reason most of these people are youtubers is because I went through my youtube subscriptions for ideas

edit: I've just realized I forgot to add rule to the title but I don't know how to fit it in there with it looking not bad

Damn, really? That's disappointing to learn, why's he a dick?

Ok so not nessesarialy a dick, just a strong reaction with his name sorry.

In his video saying he has an autistic son, he did a charity event for NEXT for autism, who wish to 'cure' autism, and have worked with Autism speaks before. The actual event before changes made due to criticism had like no autistic voices present. I don't think Mark is a dick because he seems to genuinely love his son, but was just uninformed about the harm that group does.

I'd call that disappointing, Autism Speaks is a shitty group. Neurodivergence doesn't need to be "cured". I even thought Rober might be on the spectrum himself.
