You said autistic children are a burden. That they ruin families. That they’ll never pay taxes or write poems. That they are, in essence, collateral damage.

I’d like to introduce you to my daughter.

    I challenge anyone to name one single thing how RFK has contributed to society. One. To show he isn’t just a waste of oxygen. I will be waiting.

    The fact that anyone feels the need to justify their existence because of this sort of rhetoric is just despicable. In a healthy society, people promulgating these ideas would be taken out back and shot.

  • I’m autistic and I’m doing great ! I pay my taxes, I’ve written quite a few poems, and a whole lot more things too.

    And honestly, if it were even true that vaccines made me this way, then thank you vaccines ! I really like being autistic. It’s been mostly upsides to me.

    my in-laws are tipping into supporting rhetoric from this administration even though all of their grandkids have been diagnosed autistic.

    they’re one bad day away from being 1000% cut out like my own family.

    my kids don’t even realize they have an uncle or cousins.

    I have no problem explaining to my kids “pepaw” and “memaw” moved away and we can’t see them ever again.

    This fucv can go fuck himself. People are more than their economic utility and more importantly, they are much much more than their neurodivergence or any other health condition they have.

    Autist here as well.

    I paid ~$100k in taxes last year. I got married in 2020. I donate thousands to my local community a year. At peak I was helping create 30 some odd jobs locally.

    RFK Jr can fuck off. I’ve historically done more good for this country in a month than he will ever do in his entire life. I wish the worst for him.

    RFK Jr is just a complete ghoul. He should have never touched power and the fact that he did speaks volumes to the profound sickness of the society we Americans occupy.

    RFK Jr can’t read.

    Also, I don’t care if my daughter was Cheryl Fucking Hines, I wouldn’t introduce them to that sick fuck.

      That’s what I’m saying. Since I apparently shouldn’t have been paying those taxes who do I contact to get it all back?
