Top 10 Worst Things Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Has Said About Autism

1. Vaccines cause autism

   

   Dude, that is so messed up.

2. Autism is a tragedy

   

   Autistic lives are not a tragedy! Disabled lives are not a tragedy!

   No, it isn't. We shouldn't view this as a tragedy.

3. Autism is a "preventable disease"

   I don't know what to say about this.

   Ugh, I hate these types of people.

4. Autism is an epidemic

   It's not. It's not a virus. It's not contagious. I don't even know anymore.

5. Tylenol causes autism

   This is dangerously reckless, and I don't condone this misinformation by RFK and Trump being spread. To insinuate that Tylenol causes Autism is NOT only baseless, but promotes more fearmongering and misunderstanding about Autism that can be easily prevented by doing basic research.

   The core cause of it is unknown. All that is known is that it's a birth defect and a spectrum disorder.

   People like him are why there's so much ableism towards Autistic people. Given how Robert F. Kennedy Jr. conducts himself, he shouldn't be in charge of anything, let alone our health department, given his anti-vax nature.

   Wha? That makes no sense! It's genetic!

6. Autism is mainly caused by environmental toxins

   What is wrong with people?

7. He will have found the cause of autism by September 2025

8. Autistic people can't pay taxes or hold a job

   

   This I know for a fact is a lie because I literally have a job and I'm autistic.

   We'd have a world crisis, then.

   Sure they can.

9. Autistic people can't date

   Anyone can date.

10. Autistic people can't write poetry

    Will someone tell him that Emily Dickinson and Hans Christian Andersen were autistic?

    Without autistic people, we wouldn't have any great literature.
