Not to mention the national list of autistic people he wants to create by accessing private medical records
This just in: Uneducated non-doctor put in charge of national health has no idea what autism is.
I’m shocked at the stupid shit he says out loud.
A could go right now and find a random guy day-drinking at a dive bar, and there’s a 50-50 chance he’d be more knowledgeable than the worst Kennedy. They’d also be qualified to serve as SecDef, apparently.
Insane that this even has to be said but I know a few autistic people and they are the smart, capable, driven and a joy to be around.
Honestly, i can’t even write a fuckin poem. this guy is a wack job
Is “Irish Rosie” supposed to be Rosie O’Donnell? Is she the Faux News boogeyman of the week, an actress that chose to move from this shit hole to a better country?
I hate that he isn’t getting enough hatred in response to his comments. He doesn’t deserve a single bit a pity or support. He deserves nothing but sheer anger and vitriol for words and actions.
It always amuses me when dumb people are shocked to find outbpeople think they’re dumb. Of course rhe tragedy is they’re still too dumb to understand they’re dumb.
Somehow I’ve managed all of those? My son doesn’t pay taxes yet, but he’s only 14–perhaps he’s ready for the mines?
Well people are going to get angry when the person heading the national health agency doesn’t understand the disorder, is quite confident in his lack of knowledge, states a desire to illegally access information in pursuing theories and approaches not backed by science, and when there is a long history of such approaches and registries being used to, quite literally, eradicate people and not the disease. Maybe that’s just me, but I also think it’s a bit odd to dump a dead bear cub in Central Park as an adult. Different times I guess.
Not that logic makes a difference, but if vaccines caused autism, then the uptick in autism diagnoses should have happened in the 50s and 60s when childhood vaccinations started being a thing. If you’re looking at what changed in the last 10-20 years, that rules out most vaccines.
Fuck you RFK. Ableist prick. That’s all I got.
My autistic ass wants the last 20 years of taxes I paid back.
Who knew a junkie that’s riddled with parasites from eating roadkill and whale juice would be such a piece of shit?
He called autism, ADD/ADHD, Tourette’s, and narcolepsy “***injuries*** I never heard of when I was a kid.” He’s 100% gonna blame it all on vaccines.
He managed to insult high-functioning autistic people and hurt the families of more severely affected autistic people. Good job. But this is the way antivaxx people talk about autism: it has to be worse than death and caused by vaccinations for their madness to make sense.
“I just said a bunch of untrue and off base things about your children family and neighbors while talking about putting them on a “List” for their differences why are they mad at me?”
Anyone trusting a Kennedy when it comes to neurological health needs their brain examined. Just ask his aunt Rose.
My only response to this guy, all of the time: 🖕
Want to know what actually is a preventable disease? Measles.
Wtf is this “writing poems” bullshit? I’m an autistic adult, married, pay my fair share of taxes and I’ve actually written enough poems to fill a book or two lol. And before I was married I went on plenty of dates. In fact, and this is crazy, a lot of folks I’ve dated liked me BECAUSE of my autistic traits (very honest, straightforward and a planner).
Also, even if he’s referring to the “nonverbal” portion of autistic folks, fuck him. A lot of them CAN use the toilet unassisted, can write poems and can even go on dates. Someone has not seen Love on The Spectrum (while all the folks are verbal on this show, some less than others and some are clearly more disabled). I know he’s an idiot with a brain worm/yeerk dictating his actions but wtf. All of this during autism awareness month? Come on.
This from a man whose face literally looks like it’s melting/sliding off in real time.
Here’s a poem from someone on the spectrum,
RFK’s words are a concern,
But did they come from the worm?
The roadkill was in his car,
He kept a diary of his affairs,
Did a prank with a bear,
He looks like Microwaved Mel Gibson from afar.
Asperger’s is on the autism spectrum, correct?
I just had a date,
My job withholds my taxes,
Here is a haiku.
My autistic brother would not change for a ‘normal’ brain if it came with a $100k bonus. He’s a quirky dude but he has no interest in being anyone else.
Fuck this guy.
An autistic’s poem.
Roses are red, violets are blue
RFK Jr is poop on my shoe.
I have a husband,
I have a really great job
I just wrote a poem
RFK junior
Can kiss my autistic ass
What a fucking joke
“Wow, the radical left is unhinged! All I did was marginalize an entire subgroup and create a list so we can track them. Why is there so much hatred towards me?”
What a fucking asshole.
I’m going for an autism assessment soon, but here’s a poem I wrote:
RFK once did a media stunt
Where autistic people he did hunt
He used to do smack
His science is quack
And he’s such a gigantic cu…
Anyone else notice how RFK Jrs comments about people with Autism vaguely resembles how the right wing discusses Transsexuals? “there were not many a few decades ago”, “Its the environment that causes them to be that way”, “___ kids ruin families”, etc.
Don’t forget, his aunt Rosemary was lobotomized for having a developmental disorder and their family shuttered her away at an institution. They didn’t have autism back then just like they didn’t have sexual abuse or domestic abuse, boomers learned about sweeping under the rug from their parents.
