As one autistic white man to another: sorry, Nick Starr-Street, but even autistic people don’t get to go, “I don’t see race. I don’t see gender. I don’t see color. I don’t see any of that.” Or, as Ijeoma Oluo said on Twitter, “Fuck you, dude.”

It turns out, Nick Starr-Street is an infamous asshole. Not only because he tried to get a waitress fired for telling him to remove his Google Glass, but because he once told a Pulse shooting joke and Twitter-tagged an Orlando-based drag performer in it.
Gay married himself, at some point around 2016 he went full-bore MAGA and says, “LGBTQ is a hate group.”
The only place being autistic has in this story is the state of hyperfocus and co-morbid OCD that sent me down the rabbit hole of learning about this guy.
