Despicable behavior

I really hate celebrities who think they can do whatever the heck they want - no matter how negative, patronizing, derogatory or downright-shameful it may be.

Another issue I have with this video is the commentator comparing Autism with been "mentally challenged".

Yeah, I found "mentally challenged" to be rather off-putting. Unfortunately, that's the way the world tends to view us that are on the spectrum.

This is precisely why I emphasize using discretion in telling anyone you're on the spectrum. There's no guarantee of a total stranger having a basic understanding of autism and giving us the benefit of any doubt.
