To those unaware, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), commonly referred to simply as autism, is a neurological and developmental disorder that affects an individual's interactions with others, alongside their ability to communicate, learn, and behave.
Typically, symptoms of autism are seen at an early age, but a diagnosis may be made at any age. Furthermore, being a "spectrum disorder" means that autism involves a wide variation of symptoms and types across individuals, and hence may be a different experience for different people.
Jacksepticeye was recently attacked online by DramaAlert host Daniel "Keemstar" after the former showcased his disappointment following Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris' loss against Donald Trump in the recent presidential election. Keemstar referred to Jacksepticeye as a "woke re***d", leading to mixed reactions from users online.
