in Current affairs

Robert Kennedy who is in Trumps administration is constantly putting down people who are neurodiverse , I saw a clip on Facebook among many where he is giving a press conference saying that adhd, torretts, (excuse spelling) autism weren't around in his time considering they were diagnosed before . And the biggest insult is that he refers to the conditions as injuries.

This man is a disgrace, feel sorry for the Americans who have this idiot in government. Thought our lot were bad and uneducated in neurodiverse understanding

    Robert Kennedy has a tenuous grip on reality all round

    He's proving to be a very dangerous man. On a personal level, I'm horrified by how he's wanting to "cure the autism epidemic"

    We don't need curing, we need understanding.

    Done a screenshot of this post on Facebook, this is horrific. He seems against Autism. He also seems to think that you grow out of it as you get older unbelievable

    Robert Kennedy also wants to go into autistic Americans private health records and compile lists. He says autism is bigger than covid as covid only killed old people. Feel sorry for the autistic people over there. He has it in for nureodiverse people. His grandfather had his aunt lobotomised in 1940s and she was placed in a institution. She had problems due to her birth where her brain was starved of oxgeon.

    It's eugenics, pure and simple. Just as it was in the 1940s. And we know what happened then.

    And it's not just over there. The rise in hate speech invalidating autistic and other ND people has become very apparent in the last several months, including some in the MSM.

    To me this is absolutely existential - globally, not just in the States. Not least because it is tipping that balance again. We're a disabled community who has always struggled to have a voice or make it heard over the white noise coming from the "people who know better". But now we're actively being told we're not allowed to comment on this because we're either too autistic to understand or not autistic enough for it to be relevant.

    They want to find the autism gene.

    I am pretty sure there has already been research on this and a gene has been identified, although not all autistic people manifest it. But the language and rhetoric around this enquiry, association to vaccines, and so on indicate that the "cure" they identify may well be in the same category as cod liver oil for measles and whatever else was suggested for Covid.

    It also needs to be put in context with his suggestions of 'wellness' camps for autistic people to 'detox' them…

    We should not consider this to be in any way based in science.

    It's bonkers, but I guess if we're talking parallels with other regimes, they did start by going after disabled people. Though why they've cut cancer research funding, but are now going after autism seems mighty silly.

    What I've read, social security for seniors as well

    I think the plan is to eliminate the autism gene and prevent those births. Like the Down's Syndrome gene.

    The man is a former heroin addict. Brain-addled. So glad I live in the UK!

    Personally I think he has great ideas and hope his changes effect all companies especially food and pharma and it occurs internationally, taking known toxins out of foods and medicines can only be a good thing, make the world healthy again seems like a great idea.

    So today I've seen it's used its' 'Truth [🙄🤣] social media' to use AI generated photo of itself as Pope. How disrespectful, it's truly delusional.

    This creature is just continually in the gutter. Can't even call it a human being as seems to have no attributes of one. Very dangerous. Even it's bessie mate Nigel stated don't apply for standing for 'Reform' if you're from the DEI movement, or words to that effect. Just vile, both of them, eeugh.
