Tremendous thanks to @Persuasion for publishing my explanation of how you can: question RFK's motives challenge his research agenda and push back against his administration's policy proposals WITHOUT attacking his accurate depiction of profound autism: persuasion.community/p/rfk-was-righ…

Spending the morning commenting "NO IT'S NOT" on the threads of every autistic journalist/PhD/influencer self-righteously complaining that RFK's comments were "about me" -- an act of enlightenment or a complete waste of time? Asking for a friend.

Grateful to The New York Times for publishing this piece by profound autism parent emily may , and also thrilled that Alexandria Hoff will be platforming this population tonight on Fox News. This, as the Mandalorian says, is the way. #profoundautismisnotpartisan nytimes.com/2025/04/25/opi…
