AMEN! I just had a discussion with a friend of my daughter who has a child diagnosed with autism. The child is pretty high functioning, and she took offense. She’s done “tons of research” and follows “real scientist,” so she’s offended that “someone who has no idea what he’s talking about” said they would have some answers by September. I told her I couldn’t understand why she wouldn’t be ecstatic for anyone to put a huge spotlight on it.

Same. My friend, (mother of an adult son who is low functioning with autism), has extreme TDS so anything that has DJT’s hand on it is poison in her opinion.

They’re all saying, “My child doesn’t need to be fixed,” while at the same time talking about the difficulties of raising an autistic child (before RFKjr.’s announcement.) Yes, it’s right they would love their child and see many delightful qualities. And yes, there’s probably no cure for those with autism, but do they really not want others to avoid those same difficulties?
