I don't see all young autistic people as spoiled, that would mean that all young autistic people would have to act in exactly the same way as Greta and they definitely don't. They mostly go about their business, and rarely appear on the tv or the news auditioning for the young person of the year award.
Then I don't see what's the problem. Don't spoiled kids usually whine about their own selfish needs? Greta just wants to survive, and she is making a plea in a democratic society that is designed to listen to people's pleas.
Besides guys, if you find a child to be too irritating you always have Al Gore.
Also, Greta was recently speaking at Congress with other young people, so take a look at the video and tell me do you find other young women irritating as well? Like that young woman that started speaking after Greta at 25:21 - what do you think about her and the case she made? Is it:
a) irritating but right
b) not irritating but wrong
c) irritating and wrong
d) not irritating and right
Lol, and also one of the congressmen actually asked Greta "Why should we listen to scientists?"
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
