Robert F. Kennedy Jr’s comments about autism are part of a long legacy of right-wing politicians deciding which people’s lives are and are not worth living.
It’s simple. These people hate autistic kids. Just read his own words. He hates that they are a “tragic burden” on their parents (as if even raising a neurotypical kid is a picnic) and he hates that these kids can’t be exploited the way other children are.
He’s also moron who cannot distinguish the fact that autism is a spectrum that includes hundreds of millions of people who otherwise live fairly normal lives thanks to the innovations that have been developed to help autistic people to adapt to the world in the past 50 years. (You know, since we actually sought to help them instead of throwing them all in an institution and trying to ignore their existence)
Fuck Robert F Kennedy Jr and his worm brained bullshit!
