Same here. Interestingly enough, it’s actually somewhat common.

I wasn’t speaking competitively, but as a point of awareness. I fall under both anyway. Sorry if my reply came off as standoffish. Trans people are more aware of their persecution, so I think it’s also important to remind people with ASD that they’re a target for RFK.

That transgender people will be the next target over autistic people. I think it depends on how much support Trump gives RFK for his mission.

I’m not so sure. Don’t forget RFK appointed David Geier to “cure US the autism epidemic.”

David worked with his father, a doctor, on a supposed ‘cure’ for autism. They experimented on neighborhood autistic kids in their basement. Their hypothesis is that since autism has links to gender dysphoria, that hormones must be at fault. They began giving the children injections of Lupron, a hormone suppressant that can cause chemical castration over time.

They were both charged with endangering minors, David was charged with practicing medicine without a license, and his father’s medical license was revoked.

Fun fact: Autism Spectrum Disorder was rebranded from Asperger’s when the DSM-5 was updated in 2013. They decided to finally drop the name of Dr. Hans Asperger, the German scientist who experimented on ‘autistic psychopaths’ under Nazi guidance.
