@BartemyS@RiverfrontTimes Autistic people can make their own choices. Stop using autism as a cudgel in your misinformation. Autism isn't a 'problem'. We know who we are. You don't speak for us and you shouldn't speak for us. Mind your own business.

As Twitter's general functionality continues to decline, there are times when you may find it difficult to search for the content you need. So, as a public service announcement, here is the video clip you are trying to find to post when discussing the death of Pat Robertson today
Speaking of human rights, the Nazi's also killed Autistic people which is where we get the term "Asperger's". You spent plenty of time on anti-autistic rhetoric in your speech, @RobertKennedyJr which to me reads as anti-human rights & makes this photo op nothing but theater.
At dinner with my friend Holocaust survivor Vera Sharav and my daughter Kyra on Israel’s birthday. After fleeing Nazi pogroms in Romania, Vera spent three years in Ukraine’s Mogilev slave labor camp before escaping to Palestine in 1944. She has spent her lifetime as one of the world’s most effective and eloquent human rights advocates.
With what is seeming a personal vendetta against Autistic folks, @RobertKennedyJr will rouse the same kind of ugliness in people. Not all autistic people can fight for themselves. I can, though. And I won't stop. Stop othering trans, lgbtqia+, & autistic people!
It's been 2 days & still no answer from @RobertKennedyJr on why he attacked Autistic people in his speech. I have tried here and have submitted an contact request on his website. Do they not want to answer so they can keep up the attack? Will they not admit they are wrong?
@RobertKennedyJr My trans friends are already seeing the results of politicians othering them. The disgusting vitriol from people in the wake is frightening. They are making it ok to ridicule them. Horrible. This is what happens when a leader spreads lies/misinformation.
@RobertKennedyJr Still waiting on clarification on where you got your misinformation about Autism in your speech. Maybe it was written by someone who was misinformed? Maybe you've been misinformed? As an Autistic person your words were troubling and I want to give you the opportunity to clarify
@RobertKennedyJr But you are spreading incredibly bad and false information about Autism. In your first speech. Get your facts straight before putting them into your platform. I'll gladly educate you. I'm autistic & a college professor so I'm used to teaching people who think they know everything
As well, @RobertKennedyJr should know that Autism isn't a disease. Just false information on all counts, @RobertKennedyJr . Maybe I'll run for president so I can debate him and expose how little he really knows.
Hey @RobertKennedyJr, what is your problem with Autistic people? You appear to not be educated on it. There is no such thing as 'full-blown' Autism & it is not an 'intellectual disability' in and of itself.
Why did you call us out? This Autistic person wants to know.
@RobertKennedyJr The fact that @RobertKennedyJr - a Democrat - is highlighting what appears to be an effort to eliminate Autistic people is chilling.
I'm available to talk to on this issue. I'm an actual Autistic person who thinks you should do your research before making blanket statements.
@stevesilberman I want to know what his beef with Autistic people is. I'm autistic and a college professor and IT professional. It doesn't always come with "intellectual" comorbidities. Sometimes it does. But either way, WTF?
Still no response from @AGAndrewBailey on what axe he has to grind with autistic people. Being anti-trans is bad enough but to deny autistic people from even being considered at all for gender affirming care is some real BS. What is your official stance on autistic people, Andy?
@AGAndrewBailey I realize as just a citizen of MO I don't rate in the eyes of @AGAndrewBailey but maybe @stltoday or @riverfronttimes can take a look at this and get an official statement. You know, in case Andy is afraid to talk to an autistic person that doesn't fit his weird narrative
