For every moderately competent, or savant level socially awkward Autist mostly capable of functioning as an adult. There’s many more who will not be able to function outside a supervised environment. If they’re able to do anything at all. Many of them won’t be able to live outside 24/7 care homes. And frankly are potentially dangerous if they lash out.
If we can potentially develop treatments or even a cure to elevate the standard of living for those people. It would ultimately be a net positive for civilization at large. I think to be honest. Many of the otherwise functional socially awkward autistic people would probably be interested in a cure as well.
Watching from the sidelines unable to actually relate to or share the interests of people your own age. Perpetually an outsider. Is likely a disheartening and alienating experience. Not to mention it can cause issues in forming the bonds necessary for Romantic Relationships and close friendships.
And the "jabs-may-cause-autism" deniers like him have sick, blind and unwavering allegiances to Big Pharma and their unproven "vaccines" as well as strange obsessions with NOT wanting to find the cause(s) of autism and, specifically, finding out if those "vaccines" might be making pin-cushioned zombies/sacrifices out of innocent children.
This is the result of the term "Asperger's syndrome" being removed. Because the guy who first identified it was later suspected of being a Nazi -- they chose to dissociate his name from the condition he discovered.
By doing so, all patients were placed under the blanket term of "autism". It's unfortunate because the public perception now views the higher functioning "Asperger's syndrome" patients as the face of "autism". This leads to an erroneous perception of the serious nature of autism and its devastating effects on more afflicted people.
Only someone who has no knowledge of the entire spectrum would make such comments. RFK Jr. Is responding to a genuine health care crisis afflicting.the children of our nation. This man is mistaking dedication and purpose for obsession.
This is how the liberal mind works. I mean, you couldn’t say that maybe he makes money off of people with autism or gets paid by people who make money off of people with autism that would be too horrible to fathom.
Like the Wright brothers had a "strange obsession" about flight.
nice.
Also true! There are many other examples of inventors and doctors who lived their lives "obsessed" with their goal! To the betterment of mankind!

For every Elon musk we have 1,000 Corkys. And yes I know that tv character and actor had Down’s syndrome. But I digress.

He’s a propagandist and liar. These statements are not a mistake. Pritzker this week said there is no autism epidemic. It’s a dnc talking point.
oh… not a good move for him to comment on an issue he wants suppressed
how about them cubs?
That makes sense. Operation Mockingbird instructed all these communists to downplay autism at the same time.

What a jackass!
Yeah, what's wrong with him?? Trying to help millions of kids? What a LOSER!!!!!
This guy: “ I literally know several people with autism, but it’s not like autism is growing problem or anything…”
Is he on the spectrum?
Do you have to ask? He’s a liberal.
