When RFK Jr. "investigates" autism, be aware that he is deliberately and knowingly engaging in eugenics.

He's literally looking for ways to eliminate people like me from the human race.

I'm autistic.

So when you ask "what causes you?", you're positioning me as something that needs to be investigated. Something that needs to be "cured", which is to say, eliminated. Because I think in a different pattern than some folk do.

When someone says, "X causes autism, so avoid X", they're saying, "or your kid might have (gasp) *autism* too!"

This is eugenics. It's Nazi stuff. Not an exaggeration. A "science" under the Nazis.

We are not broken. We do not need fixing. We just think differently. But we have always been around. That dude that wrote an eleven-volume handwritten guide to every herb in one county in England, or wherever it was? Telling me he wasn't one of my people? GTF.

We are and always have been productive and innovative members of society. If anything, we should be seen as an advantage to the species: diversity of thought is *better* thought. Not ours or yours better - but ours and yours are.

We aren't a threat, we're not (for the most part) needing round-the-clock specialist care - but be human, will you? If someone needs that, maybe give it to them? Because they're people?

Didn't we fight a big war about this a few years back? Something about a guy with a bad moustache who didn't like the disabled people in his society? Among his many targets?

Seems to me his central thesis was "I will decide who's people and who isn't people."

And that some of us are saying, "How about maybe not? How about all the people matter, and we try to keep ourselves alive all together?"

I cannot personally imagine how anyone decides his plan is better. Or more moral.

But I'll be over here on Team Everybody Else.

It is not about autism, next they will come any and all ND people.

It is, as @Thebratdragon says, about getting rid of anyone and everyone who doesn't adhere to their image of what is a human being: obedient, working hard (for them), happy with panem et circenses.

They know they can't wipe out all ND people, but they will try to wipe out all those who are "obviously" ND and the others will need to cave in and just hold their heads down - after all, you can never wipe out a whole group of people if you can't identify them.

Unfortunately, without ND people humanity will immediately stagnate and any progress will come to a halt very quickly.

This is when they will realize that they have doomed all of humanity, all of it. This is when humanity will, irreversibly, die out. But then again, they will be sitting in their bunkers and eating caviar.

(yeah, I'm in a mood)

@oldladyplays

The reason is clear: most all artists, scientists, creative people, anarchists (who change the world), ... they are all one way or other ND - otherwise they would not have asked the question "how can this be better", or they would not have seen beauty where others just saw some colors, seen the bright future where others saw gray-in-gray...

ND people were the driving force behind all the progress in human history.

@Thebratdragon

@ics @oldladyplays @Thebratdragon and the current question we should ask ourselves, with all our creativity, is how the fuck can we get back to the position where we are shaping the world again? Get to it right now, doing whatever it is that you’re best at!
@Frantasaur @oldladyplays @Thebratdragon A lot of us are working on it, each on what they can do. Individually all of these look like small and unimportant, maybe even useless, but all of them together will, on day, change the world - again.
