Where's my autism mom community here? No one ever told me how I'd feel when she was 30+ and I turned 65. This is the (or my) aging disability parenting experience for higher support needs. leisahammett.substack.com/p/life-lesso...

My 30/y/o autistic daughter sells art that hangs in corporate boardrooms nationwide. She works. She pays taxes. Toliets independently. Yep, RFK, you didn't update your argument from 25 years ago. SHAME ON YOU. PS: Tito Rajarshi Mukhopadhyay was writing poems two decades ago.
1. Holly Robinson-Peete’s 27 year old son RJ is autistic and she has used her platform to become one of the most visible advocates for the autism community.
She reacts to RFK Jr’s horrible and inaccurate comments about autism here.

This is disrespectful and a flat out lie that further stigmatizes autism. It’s not a virus or a disease - it’s a neurological condition with a wide spectrum. Many Americans with autism work, pay taxes, and are living happy and healthy lives.
WATCH | RFK Jr claims autistic children will never go on dates or pay taxes

US Health Secretary RFK Jr claims autism is a "preventable disease."
"We know it's an environmental exposure. Genes do not cause epidemics... You need an environmental toxin."
Autism has a strong genetic component.
Autism is not a "disease".
Autism is not an "epidemic".
RFK Jr is not a scientist.

"To every kid" and every adult....
I won’t share RFK Jr.’s lies about autism.
It’s disgusting and dangerous.
If he had a shred of decency, he would apologize and resign.
Autistic people contribute every day to our nation’s greatness.
To every kid with autism, I’m in this fight all the way for you.

Thanks RFKjr for setting the #autism awareness turned acceptance movement back 20 to 25 years. This is hurtful and damaging. www.npr.org/sections/sho...
RFK seeks the 'environmental' cause of autism. Scientists say it's not that simple
Researchers and advocates have pushed back at what they consider inaccurate and stigmatizing comments made by the health secretary, and note the causes of autism are complex.

I don't HATE. So, I'll say un-love? Despise? Anyways, I wrote an un-love, a I DESPISE you letter to Target today. My choices for something my disabled daughter truly needs, (the details are personal,) were MalWart, The Giant Online JungleA or Target. The later makes a good product for our purposes.
