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
