My autistic kid has brought more value and joy to this world in 7 years than this fucking monster ever will
"Kennedy’s disgust with and devaluation of autistic people fits neatly into a eugenic logic that views health as virtue, and sees illness, or difference, as a kind of moral lapse which should be subject to punishment or censure."
RFK Jr. is wrong about autism
