It's a response to the news that they are collecting our medical records to make a registry of everyone with autism. And also RFKs desire to create "wellness" camps

I am not going to argue your POV because it's valid. But what is your opinion on autistic people using the term autist?

I'm not going to dox myself, but I am an autism activist and we all pretty much use the term autist. If you read Unmasking Autism, a good book btw, it will show that Autist is the preferred nomenclature

Autists will be one of the first in the camps it seems. In fact, getting out of America should strongly be considered
