This brother was a philosopher and I don't like his philosophy.

This factoid is frequently posted but is not true. He left his town for years. He frequently partied early in his life too. It was only later in life he developed very rigid habits. Also his last words were “das ist gud,” which very obviously translates to “it is good.” None of what was posted is true.

Autistic people can also do all of those things.

Didn’t say they couldn’t. Just said the factoid at the top was wrong, so basing one’s assessment of him using it is wrong. He might have been autistic, I don’t know. That wasn’t the point of my statement.
