Hi.
Autistic person here
RFK Jr. didn’t “misspeak” when he called autism an “epidemic” that “dwarfs COVID.”
That’s eugenicist rhetoric.
We’re not a disease—we’re people.
The spectrum includes those who need support and those building the future. Diagnoses have expanded because understanding has improved—not because autism is “spreading.”
Dehumanizing us is not health policy. It’s dangerous
If we started calling him Junior Mengele he'd think we were calling him a doctor and say thank you.
Stabbing heroin in your arm for half your pampered life and telling your customers how to not OD on your junk, or else, doesn't make you a doctor, Bob.
