Why RFK Jr. Doesn't See the Image of God In Autistic People The Secretary of Health and Human Services looks at autistic people and only sees what they can't do, not who they were created to be.

"In autistic people, as in every member of the human species, God is pleased to dwell."

RFK Jr. said autistic people don’t work or play sports. They say he’s wrong. The health and human services secretary on Wednesday suggested that autistic children would never play baseball or pay taxes, enraging those in the community.

Autistic people and their loved ones have swiftly and publicly rejected statements by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the nation’s top health official, that people with autism will never play baseball, date, pay taxes or have a job.

"Even if [RFKJr] were not clearly committed to pushing dangerous & debunked pseudoscience about vaccines, it is simply impossible that actual research into a supposed environmental cause of autism could be completed by Sept–real science does not move that quickly, bc real science cares about truth."
