@Acyn RFK and Dr. Oz are not spending enough time in the disability community if they think there are not persons their age with autism.

[Susan Hall @SusanCoolHall]

@EricMGarcia Your panel answers in the NYT story do exactly this. As parent to a high-support-needs young man with autism—thank you. Your words were a balm to me today.

[Susan Hall @SusanCoolHall]

Breathtakingly incorrect.

RFK JR: And these are kids who will never pay taxes, they'll never hold a job, they'll never play baseball, they'll never write a poem. They'll never go out on a date. Many of them will never use a toilet unassisted

Using intellectual disability as a pejorative isn't just wrong—it's a painful reminder of the discrimination people with disabilities face daily. 🧵

Agog, not just because it’s an insane thing to say about a fellow politician, but because I can’t believe he doesn’t recognize how viscerally upsetting this could be to a parent or relation or friend of someone who’s intellectually disabled.
