After hearing the news lately from RFK Jr. about him planning to launch the autism study and have "some answers" for autism & treating it as a disease, and hearing that he will send money to compensate for autistic people and their families, as an autistic person myself, I feel SO enraged.
I think that on Mayday, there should be an event for people with autism and their families to protest against the statements that RFK Jr. has made, and to organize perhaps some sit ins and marches on the HHS & perhaps protest outside RFK's house.
I am certain that I am not the only person who feels this way.
I am NOT a burden. I don't need to be compensated. My family doesn't need to be compensated.
And also, we need to write to our representatives telling them to stop this study and to tell RFK Jr. to fuck off.
I am SO angry. I don't have words to describe my anger for RFK and his policies, and I have had enough.

Its disgusting. I'm also autistic. As a community, we need to stand together and support each other through this. I know it may be hard for some neurodivergent people to protest, but this is important.
