I'm sure a lot of people have seen this video by @MarkRober. On the surface, he seems to have good intentions.
Unfortunately the video is filled with so many harmful ableism stereotypes that need to be addressed.

I want to disclose right off the bat that I have no issue with Mark revealing his autistic son. If anything, I feel that's one part of the video he does right.
He's also correct when he says that not every autistic person has remarkable abilities.
But everything else ...

At 2:37 Mark talks about Carly Fleischmann. Who is a non-verbal autistic woman, who's short film co-written with her father launched her into public stardom. Best highlighted by the moment where she hosted "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert."
