The life expectancy of low-support needs autistic people isn't so great either.
I don't have a cite handy but the suicide attempt and completion rate amongst autistic people are both appallingly high multiples of the mean.
IIRC suicide and accidents are major causes of early mortality amongst autists.

Apparently, his criteria for "full blown autism" are that the person in question is A) non-verbal, and B) incontinent*. And presumably, they'd have to be walking around malls, and many of the malls that haven't closed are moribund.**
*Note: Despite having some correlation with autism, incontinence is not actually considered a symptom of autism.
** Recently, I actually did an informal survey of the malls I used to go to when I was younger. Of the ones I remember:
- Golf Mill is so broken down that the only food available is a Teriyaki chicken place, plus one wing is entirely blocked off from the main mall due to a weird design in one of the anchor stores. It's apparently due to be closed down fairly soon, but there's no set date.
- Northbrook Court isn't quite as dire as Golf Mill, but less than half the stores are open, and it's apparently a glorified indoor dog park by this point.
- Lincolnwood Town Plaza is evidently doing fine (or at least it looked fine when I went there for my "Elliott Smith Didn't Kill Himself" shirt. More stores seemed open than not, but not by too large a margin.
- Gurnee Mills and Woodfield Mall, while I didn't do much research, seemed to be doing alright. If the maps are any indication, there's far more stores open than closed, particularly at Woodfield.

Same goes for verbal ability. I have to wonder if the man even knows what the diagnostic criteria are.

The idea of him getting this position (or any) was so out of this world that he hasn't yet realized he doesn't need to keep up with his old grift anymore. He's got a new and better one. Like a crook that wins the lotto but can't stop shoplifting. The whole admin is filled with these sorts of people.

Pam Bondi told ICE it doesn't need warrants to search houses.

The president may have been handed a get out of jail free card for breaking the law, but even Pam Bondi et al, have not. Tried>convicted>pardoned in a never-ending loop. As if. 
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
