Robert F Kennedy Jr's initiative to track the health of people with autism has ignited anger and shock among autistic individuals and their advocates. Critics argue that Kennedy, as US health secretary, exhibits a troubling understanding of autism, evidenced by his dismissal of crucial research and heeding misinformation about autism. Many urge Kennedy to retract his statements and engage with the autism community to foster better understanding. The backlash underscores worries about the potential consequences of his policies on health services for disabled individuals.
RFK Jr needs to recant his remarks, kill the registry, and sit down with autistic folks like myself.
Kennedy's approach lacks alignment with scientific understanding, raising alarms about the future of health and advocacy for people with autism.
