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.

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.

This is disrespectful and a flat out lie that further stigmatizes autism. Itās not a virus or a disease - itās a neurological condition with a wide spectrum. Many Americans with autism work, pay taxes, and are living happy and healthy lives.

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.

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.
