Been wondering who is the worse influence in shaping public perception of autistic people. I've seen people use Chris Chan to demonize autistic people in general but I feel Elon Musk is more notorious to the average Joe.

I'd say Elon by far. Chris Chan isn't nearly as well known

Chris-chan is harmless for the most part. Meanwhile, Elon has done a lot of harm with his malfeasance and idiocy alone.

Exactly. Actual, real-life, non-terminally online people actually know of Elon Musk. Chris Chan though? Who the fuck is Chris Chan?

Does Elon actuality have autism? I haven't really heard about this but he strikes me as a "well, you know, I'm on The Spectrum" kinda guy.

He's admitted he has Asperger's specifically as I recall.

I don't think that many people, relatively speaking, associate Elon with autism (at least, not from what I've seen), whereas many would probably put it as one of Chris Chan's defining features.

I would argue that 99% of people who know and care about who Chris Chan is should probably be institutionalized

Anything Elon says should just be taken as 100% a lie. The dude knows Aspberger's is shorthand to people as "really smart person". It is all just a way to create his image.

While that's entirely possible? I see no reason to doubt his having Asperger's, it honestly explains a lot of his social awkwardness.\

Anyways, as mentioned by some others, Elon Musk is obviously worse. Do most people know he's autistic? No. However I'd wager the number of people who know about Elon Musk and his being autistic is larger than the number of people who even know Chris Chan exists at all.
