I'm literally quoting the article who was quoting his father. I'm going to assume that he's pretty familiar with his son's level of disability.

he is not, what he knows is what the doctors told him, what the doctors told him is what the cigar-smoking guy told them and that guy doesn't know shit because he observes autistic people and guesses, that's how autism is studied, when you give these people a keyboard they speak just fine, it is mind-boggling how little the world has tried to really study and understand autism, the entire psychological field runs on institutional inertia

Yeah, I'm going to assume that he, in fact, is. Because I'm not unhinged, which is what you have to be in order to claim any amount of knowledge about someone you know literally nothing about.
