'The Right Mix of Autism and Steroids': Craig Jones Wants to Give Steroids to Autistic Athletes

Do you know what’s holding you back from becoming a world-class fighter? Not enough autism and steroids.  

Craig Jones is at it again with the most insane soundbites from his podcast, El Segundo. Last month, the Brazilian jiu-jitsu coach explains what he calls the “goldilocks sign” of the perfect fighter.

“If you have the right mix of autism and steroids, you are 100% guaranteed to become a world champion,” says Jones earnestly. “People are focusing on steroids but really as a world-class coach, you really wanna attract people with autism because you can give anyone steroids. Despite our best efforts, we are yet to give anyone autism.”

Autistic individuals do excel at their chosen special interests, whatever that may be. But is it a cheat code to being a top-ten athlete? No, that’s where the steroids come in apparently.

“I’m just listening over and over to try to wrap my head around his super soldier recipe,” comments one user.

While many are confused by Jones’ comments, his fans on the spectrum are taking the compliment.

“Man I’m just a few injections away from becoming a world champion,” says another user.

Most coaches want you to get on a consistent program but Jones wants you on the spectrum and ‘roided before stepping into his gym. It’s about time that we weaponized neurodiversity.
