Are you referring to the Trump government's treatment of trans people?

RFK views autistics as undesirables, so it's absurd to believe that he'll be any nicer to us.

> “These are kids who will never pay taxes, they’ll never hold a job, they’ll never play baseball, they’ll never write a poem, they’ll never go on a date, many of them will never use a toilet unassisted,”

What makes more sense is that he's collecting our personal information for imprisonment and execution.

This is true of people with severe autism. I know someone whose autism is severe enough she'll probably never be able to live independently. Doesn't everyone view that medical condition--the condition, not the person--as undesirable? Doesn't everyone view being healthy as better than being unhealthy?

I have ADHD. I'd rather not have ADHD. I take a pill every day to control it. My kid has it too. He'll have to take a pill every day for the rest of his life. I'd love to avoid that outcome. Avoiding disease is a good thing!

If he had made the same statement about Bangladeshi-Americans and was collecting their personal information, how would you feel about it?
