Sorry long thread incoming.
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.
