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
@flexghost autism, is a tragedy, and needs to be avoided...
but when those shit fash do a nazi salute and hide behind a cowardly excuse that Elon is autistic suddenly(and only in this case) autism is good.
fuck those hypocritical fash.
@InorganicFella @flexghost 100% was just talking about their double standards.
like when they suddenly care for the environment when birds are hurt in wind turbines.

My existence is not a tragedy. 🤦🏻♀️ You know how many non autistics have depended on my autism to get work done? To inspire? To teach? To see what they miss? To take care of them?
@todymotmot @InorganicFella @flexghost my apologies,
my reply was an attempt to draw attention to their hypocrisy, I believe they are full of bs.
Autism is a core part of humanity. I myself am diagnosed, and it is infuriating how we are treated as a burden, despite likely being a force that pushes civilization forwards (such as autism being more common in academia and research).
❤️ Ah, understand. I misread you, thank you for clarifying.
Strongly agree, MAGA is completely hypocritical and infuriating. 😔
**Edited**
My experience with autism has been different. Autism seems to facilitate extremes, and in my case, it explains my heightened ability to think independently, speak clearly, understand emotions, visualize how complex systems work, have compassion, value honesty and integrity, and avoid delusional reactions.
I lack the brain wiring that simplifies communication but can make non-auts susceptible to errors. And dulls their senses. I'm ok with my autism.
@todymotmot @flexghost I'm fine with my autism.
if anything, all the problems I have with autism is dealing with neurotypicals who expect everyone to be "normal",
