What pisses me off is how nothing RFK, Jr. is saying is new. Like, I stg, we've been hearing these same bullshit op-ed talking points for decades. "When I was a kid we didn't have a name for this! That makes it not real!" I cannot believe this asshole has control of our healthcare.

Not to mention the way Autistic people have already watched our societies and communities stand by and accept when we are abused and even murdered by our parents and caregivers because we're "too much of a burden". That's not a new thing RFK, Jr. would be giving these people. They already have it.

Anyway the point here is this doesn't stem from Parents' Rights. That's a helpful and convenient lever for RFK to move ahead with this ridiculous focus, but this focus on Autistic people comes from decades of us being painted as a problem to solve rather than people to accept.

There is no reason to say “AI hallucination” in 2025. We know what they are: The model has predicted incorrectly. But to say it that way reinforces that *all text generation is prediction* — pair that with attributions of authority, and you see the real problem…

Tomorrow, a certain online mega-retailer launches a book sale, just days before Indie Bookstore Day on 4/26. This is no coincidence; Bookstore Day is one of the largest revenue drivers for indies. Indies need our support to thrive & build community spaces for all...mega-retailers do not.

I know I’m being fuckin salty here, but the fact that we’re *fucking still* discussing autistic vs. person with autism while fascists are taking the first steps toward exterminationism really shows how little people listen to us. I know you can talk about more than one thing at once, but FFS.

It may or may not also be a good reminder to non-autistic people that autistic people’s specific needs are also likely to be individualized, rather than one-size-fits-all. I do see your point about the saying being a bit contradictory though.

Cass (they/them) is not very functional @justgrist.bsky.social · 22/04/2025
*shrug* I think that in intra-autistic spaces, the if you’ve met one autistic thing is a good reminder that not every difference between us and alistics is necessarily down to autism, and also bc some real autistic shitheads like to do a lot of “we” shit that does not speak for me or many others.

Yes. My proof of life posts will probably always be me boosting mutual aid requests or talking shit about fascists and the long-standing fuckery that has enabled them.

My overall point here is the the problem is not with RFK alone, or even alone with any of the fascists running things right now. The problem is cultural and widespread. The first step is to get rid of these fash, but there’s a whole lot to be done when that’s finished as well.

Many people say they mean well but then show that they are more invested in their para social attachments to their favorite A$ promoting celebs than they actually are with improving conditions for autistic people.

Cass (they/them) is not very functional @justgrist.bsky.social · 22/04/2025
Gormless celebs and even well-meaning people have boosted A$ despite autistic people being vehement that A$ is a hate group. Some ppl have listened to us but mostly we have been either widely ignored or outright attacked for pointing shit like this out.

Cass (they/them) is not very functional @justgrist.bsky.social · 22/04/2025
I also want to point out that RFK and other shitheads are in prime position to do something like start a national autism registry because the entire posture toward autistic people for decades has been eugenicist.

Cass (they/them) is not very functional @justgrist.bsky.social · 22/04/2025
Autism is a neurotype, not a disease, no matter how bad RFK and other parents who refuse to mourn the child they wanted and accept the child they have want it to be. Also, this is blatant, undeniable eugenics. A return to the shit done in the early 20th century in the US that inspired the nazis.

Nobody should ever have spent a single goddamn second validating conservatives counterfactual, ego-sodden perspectives. We should have spent the last 70 years telling them to stfu and let ppl who don’t make an identity out of their bigotry figure out how to actually make things better.

Conservatives think anytime they perceive that somebody is getting something undeservedly it constitutes fraud. Meanwhile, the same motherfuckers think cis white dudes should get whatever they want whenever they want because white supremacy.

Whole lotta ppl want Economic Independence™ but don’t think it should be them that contributes to it directly by working in a factory. Also, it’s highly questionable at best at this point that returning to having a manufacturing economy would create any such economic independence.

Whether this was an honest mistake or a regrettable decision, it is the result of treating fascists like a normal political opposition party instead of as the Nazis they are. If you truly believe they're evil (they are), then you're nowhere near the Oval Office under any circumstances.
@seungminkim on X: A spokesperson for Whitmer said she was “surprised that she was brought into the Oval Office during President Trump's press conference without any notice of the subject matter. 

“Her presence is not an endorsement of the actions taken or statements made at that event,” spox says

I get that we need to build coalitions with people we disagree with, but also please understand that we will get absolutely nowhere if we treat the current administration as the cause rather than the symptom.
