They aren't talking about his autism. They're talking about his compulsion to do these acts. People, even autistics, don't go as far as he did to hack things while already under surveillance. That isn't an autism thing, something else is there.

Like what? If it's not something he's publicly diagnosed with, then how do you know it's not just main character syndrome? Remember, he's not a solo act; he's apart of Lapsus$ and there's no doubt they helped create his twisted personality.

It could be something as simple as needing to feel powerful in their space. That's something a lot of people, autistic or not, can fall prey to, but it is more prevalent in introverts without a wide range of healthy social circles.

Think about it, how ballsy do you have to be to do an attack while in police custody? You pull that off, you're going down as a fucking legend in black hat circles.

Exactly what I'm saying. It has nothing to do with his mental disorders, it's purely social influence from the cybercriminal ring and egotism.
He desires to be seen as a legend and the members of Lapsus$ are no doubt going to be praising the hell out of him for pulling off something so audacious.

OP is making it out to be like he has psychopathy or ASPD or some shit, which is not a diagnosis that's publicly known at this time even if that were the case. I'd rather not make massive generalizations of someone based on something that has 0 backing too.
The only disorder we know he's diagnosed with is acute autism and nothing else, which just as you said :

It could be something as simple as needing to feel powerful in their space. That's something a lot of people, autistic or not, can fall prey to

Which is exactly the point I'm making.
