I am autistic. My mom just gave me a pep talk where she brought up that Stephen Hawking achieved lots of things even though he was disabled. She didn't acknowledge the fact that ALS doesn't cripple cognitive function. I brought up that Hawking was already a promising young man before the ALS took root. She thought she debunked my argument because she saw the movie and the genius scientist published author was enrolled in college when it started. She moved on like she had debunked me but if anything she just confirmed my point by bringing up the exact time when his illness flared up. I countered saying that towards the end of his life he was miserable and requested euthanasia, which he didn't commit to but still indicated great anguish.
I am but a humble sperg who is lucky to not be (completely) retarded, unlike 70% of people with ASD. I am an incel at 27 and a college dropout. I don't see how the two stories have any connection. If anything, Hawking proves that gifted people naturally gravitate towards success, and that even freak ailments can't stop this phenomenon, so not being gifted is an insane detriment on the way to success.
I'm not being crazy, right? Is my mom genuinely taking the piss? Discuss how this apex fallacy is impossible to adhere to for the "average" disabled person.
