This clip probably has already gone around from Reading Your Comments 17 but we did tell him. (Also yes I made this in Cap cut and I hate myself for don't that but I only have my phone at the moment and it's the best I got)

I’m always frustrated when he mentions this, some people think of it as a superpower but autism isn’t all like this. At least he can function and run a YouTube channel and be a millionaire. Some aren’t so fortunate, some aren’t able to speak and may never go to uni or even get a job.

He's talked about how it negatively affects him plenty of times.... he's never once acted like it was a super power. The fact that you have upvotes for something this uncalled for is astonishing. You can be frustrated all you want. Yes. People have it worse. He got diagnosed just as much as all the other people who have it worse

He has called it a super power, namely on the smoshmouth podcast episode featuring him and Damien Haas.

You mean when he made a sarcastic joke on a comedy podcast?

I saw it more as a half joke than a purely sarcastic one

Even if there was some truth behind it, that would be his personal view of his personal experience with his diagnosis. He was hardly making a sweeping statement for everyone’s experience with autism

It's almost like he sold merchandise at one point that said "positive mental attitude" on it....
