I’m just a neurospicy AuDHD cat mama with wonky immune system way past my expiration date thanks to science who’s a puppeteer and musician and loves weaving scarves. I survived in utero exposure to rubella.

“Autism doesn’t destroy families. It’s the ableism that does,” said Tyla Grant, who was diagnosed with autism at 17. She called Mr. Kennedy’s comments “fear-mongering” and said his “rhetoric flattens our existence into this outdated stereotype.” Gift link (TY EPB):

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific.

Vaccines don't cause autism.

2 science-based facts that for some unnerving reason are still disputed... despite mounds and mounds of scientific evidence to support them.
Make it make sense. 🤦♀️

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

If asked why I really don’t like the idea of Kennedy as HHS director, try this on for size, research and development at the NIH and FDA keep me alive and this: people saying they prefer measles to autism.

He's a danger to society
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his anti-vax fakery was tied to a deadly measles outbreak in Samoa. And he lied about it. As head of HHS, he could do much worse here.

Suspending infection/drug research for 8 years is insane. We've had a recent viral pandemic, tropical diseases expanding into the United States (vivax malaria, dengue), antibiotic-resistant organisms, H5N1 is an ongoing issue along with MPOX. RFK Jr is not a serious person.
