| I mentioned on another post, most autistic people are already on a registry If you claim disability welfare or carer support you`ll be on a gov registry as to the reasons why. Social security people can search your name quite easily using your social security number or do mass searches using key wo... |

| Most of this protest is just irrational emotional garbage. I would bet it’s mostly Hurd mentality promoted by a political NT media who couldn’t care less about autistic people but just against the opposition and want to preserve their financial cash cows of ABA therapy and whatever long term health ... |

| The original accountant was a good movie, quite entertaining. The one man superhero who kills hundreds and gets out unharmed, like a 21st century Rambo. It tapped into the whole autism superpower narrative that Hollywood likes and interests NTs, until they realise its not real and become disappointe... |

| I am so enraged by the remarks of RFK Jr. "Those kids will never hold jobs ... Pay taxes ... Play baseball ... Write poems ... Go out on dates." Is this the definition of a valid human life? And who is he to decide? He was describing profound autism from a NT viewpoint because those are t... |

| The thing is he is not responsible for the DSMV and the merging of profound autism leaving people with an IQ of 30 and unable to use a toilet alone with Asperger’s and possibly those with same symptoms as Ellon Musk and an attention seeking celeb. Any government is going to be concerned if at face ... |

| Whether he personally believes this about us or not he is sending a message that we are normal people trapped inside autism due to poisoning, mutants and not in the good X-Men type of way. He views Autism as an epidemic, a crises. That view of Autism like any crises ends up justifying taking shortc... |

| I don't know, I'm not saying he is great but I think he is in a general sense on the right track. I think he holds the overall theory that yes, autism does have a genetic component that can be passed down through the generations. I believe his theory also holds that a myriad of environmental toxics... |

| I would welcome research on environmental factors. But that is not what is promised. If a reasonable approach were adopted, by the September deadline they could have undertaken a review of existing research, picked up some environmental factors deserving further attention, such as pesticides, PCBs,... |

| Non genetic autism research should be welcomed. For too long all we have seen is multi million dollar gene hunts that have produced minimal value for autistic people and just annoyed neurodiversity advocates anyway. There’s been some promising developments in the last decade met by undeserved disint... |

Yes, I suspect it's an example of what's called performative activism - companies paying lip service to politically-correct ideas without doing any real legwork to change anything, becaus... |
