   About: include autistic students in regular public school classrooms

   I'm receiving thousands and thousands of messages from mothers of autistic children, from autistic people, from supposed autistics, commenting on the last video in which I talked about Letícia Sabatella and public education forcing you to put typical students together with atypical ones. The controversy is pretty big. Most of the messages are from parents of autistic students who agree with me, who think you can't put an autistic student in the same classroom as a non-autistic student. At the same time, there's the narcissism crowd, that guy who isn't autistic but gets a friendly diagnosis because he's a bit strange, then that guy comes and says, 'no, you want to take away my right, my characteristic' — hold on brother, calm down; take a look at José Salomão Schwarzman's opinion, who is from the field, speaking on Roda Viva about this if

   About: ensure proper granting of benefits to people with disabilities

   We imported those categories, those levels, from the United States. You think it's like a game where you... Oh, I'm level 1, support level. Oh, I'm level 2. And in practice, we make typical, ordinary, slightly strange people think that's something special. They think it adds a little spice to their personality and say they're autistic. Everyone wants to say they're like Elon Musk. Oh, I'm kind of autistic, but I have special abilities. Look how special I am in the world, see how peculiar I am. And no, bro, you probably don't have any kind of giftedness. You're a normal person and kind of weird. Like me, when I was a child, it was the same with me. 'Oh, Renan is kind of isolated, he doesn't talk to many people, he learns things quickly.' Soon enough they went after my mother; they wanted my mother to get medication, to put me in some kind of therapy. But thank God my mother said, no, my son is normal. He will have a normal life and he'll face his strangeness with the world in the calmest possible way. And even though I'm kind of weird, kind of unkempt, yes, I managed to do everything. And no, I'm not autistic. But yes, I could maybe get a diagnosis, pretend to be autistic around, say, 'look how peculiar I am,' and obviously obtain tax benefits, maybe a BPC and the possibility of not paying taxes when buying a car.

   About: run for President of the Republic

   Oh, how nice! All my support to the mothers and fathers of real autistics. But all my rejection and my scorn is for those who are slick and try to mix narcissism with trickery to get ahead and at the end of the day pose as, 'oh, how peculiar I am.' And that's it, my friends. If you agree with me, share this video. My name is Renan Santos. I'm not autistic, but I'm a pre-candidate for the Presidency of the Republic.
