Have I misunderstood this, or did he just call autistic people a group who can't reproduce or contribute to society?

[–] BrazenSigilos@ttrpg.network 13 points 6 days ago

That sounds chillingly like Nazi justification for killing the disabled.

[–] Empricorn 26 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Controversial, but I don't think any children should go on dates or pay taxes.

[–] bitchkat@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago (3 children)

I don't know. 16 is plenty old to get a part time job and go on dates.

[–] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 6 points 6 days ago

I don't think minors should have to pay income tax. "No taxation without representation... unless you're 16."

[–] halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Depends on your personal definition of child. 16 is definitely a teenager. For many people, those are distinctly different stages and do not overlap. A middle segment between child and adult. Whereas a different descriptor like minor would apply to both children and teenagers.

In the grand scheme of things, life experience, etc, yeah. 16 (or even 19) is still a child. But there's actually a huge difference in a teenager vs a single-digit child in terms of how they think and act. But I definitely shouldn't have lent my car to my 5 year-old nephew, I see that now...

My son is severely autistic, and at almost 9 years old is functionally nonverbal. He may never go on a date, or pay taxes. That said, trashing the solid science of vaccines and wasting time dicking about and cutting grants for research does absolutely nothing to help us help him or help society better understand his condition. Such a bunch of cunts.

[–] Darbage@lemmy.today 6 points 6 days ago

I'll also add for shits and giggles that he and his two older (neurotypical) siblings are fully vaccinated and currently not rotting away with measels. RFK Jr and the twit that plopped him behind the wheel of our national health apparatus are in my opinion enormous shit sandwiches.

[–] eestileib@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 6 days ago

Just got back from a date, fuck that guy.

[–] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 9 points 6 days ago

Autistic people aren't expected to pay taxes?

Sweet.

[–] graycube@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Isn't Musk on the spectrum? I suppose he doesn't pay taxes (or at least his fair share), but he appears to have had a few dates.

[–] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 3 points 6 days ago

Probably paid actors.

[–] Linktank@lemmy.today 7 points 6 days ago

I mean, they shouldn't pay their taxes into this government.

RFK Jr Regurgitates Nazi Eugenics Talking Points

FTFY

Isn't there a TV show about autistic dating? Love on the Spectrum, I think?

[–] the_q@lemm.ee 5 points 6 days ago (2 children)

I'm not religious, but this dude very well maybe the horseman Pestilence.

[–] Manifish_Destiny@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

We have

Musk (famine)

Rfk (pestilence)

Trump (war)

That creepy bald white old Goebbels-esque dude (death)

Autism is hereditary.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

My wife is autistic so yeah plenty of autistic people manage to date and live full lives

[–] Soapbox1858@lemm.ee 4 points 6 days ago

Well the not paying taxes part checks out with Musk at least.

[–] TherapyGary@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 6 days ago

Can I use my autism as an excuse if I get caught for tax evasion?

[–] emenl@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

Well I admit not going on as many dates as my peers did. Also had a crazy friend convince me to not pay my taxes for a few years. BUT I'm currently married with kids and paid all my (back and current) taxes, probably more than these idiots have in this administration.

I'm sorry RFK, but please don't talk about autism anymore, not sure what makes us autistic but that brain worm definitely decreased your grey matter and filled it with shit lies.

[–] commander@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Have anyone in this administration considered being tested for being autistic. Maybe in another country where the doctor isn't going to fear retaliation. Need to really emphasize that being autistic doesn't mean bad

[–] KelvarIW@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Just putting out again that RFK Jr. - head of the HHS - looks and sounds the embodiment of sickness and un-health. Edit: Just realized what he reminds me of - the chain-smokers in anti-smoking ads that burned a hole in their throat.

[–] Reddfugee42@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Maybe it's true. Elon has to be women to bear his children and he pays no taxes.
