Watching Joe Rogan interview with calley and Casey means it’s obvious that Trump and RFK Jr could have a big impact on US healthcare especially how autism is perceived.

They are generally vaccine skeptics they all know and refer to each other.

Trump referred to the means, the means are connected to RFK Jr. RFK Jr is one of the big 3 in the administration. Trump, Musk , RFK Jr.

They all seem to be on a mission.

What we or anyone thinks about this and the science or conspiracy theory is irrelevant.

I’m referring to politics and policy here only.

They have the power we don’t.

Something big may occur as to what I’m not sure

The belief that Autistic children are NT children who have been poisoned will drive policy. The “Autism Epidemic” will be declared a health emergency. This will allow the Food and Drug Administration to fast track treatments/cures. The FDA will be particularly keen to approve “cures” design to “recover” Autistic children.

It’s RFK Jr, not JFK Jr. President John Kennedy was Robert Kennedy’s Jr’s Uncle.

And what do Trump, Musk (who is on the spectrum) and RFK, Jr plan to do to us who, like myself, were diagnosed as an adult? Commit mass murder?

Ugh. I have been referred over finally for autism screening and am thinking I probably shouldn't do that. Don't need to be added to another "list".

Honestly, probably nothing. The most likely outcome of all this nonsense is a drop in vaccination rates, and increase in infectious diseases spreading, and more parents allowing doctors to do things they shouldn't do because of the fearmongering.

If we really do care about the issues, and presumably anybody posting here does, the best course of action is to flood the airwaves with as much accurate science as possible. Trump doesn't have the sort of mandate to do things like this as people imagine he does and the next congressional elections are in 2 years with the primaries closer to a year and a half out. There are going to be committee hearings for the appointments and even without a majority of the seats, there's a lot that the Democrats could do about this, assuming they even care about this rather than see it as an opportunity to do nothing while raking in large amounts of campaign dollars.

You should do whatever you think is best, but at the end of the day, it's unlikely that being diagnosed as an adult is going to make much of a difference in either direction. I don't think that they'll be able to repeal the ACA without revealing to the voters just how good it was to have any sort of protection like that.

https://hfsc.org/specialties/autism-center-at-hsc/
Autism Care
The Autism Center is a specialized interdisciplinary program for children and adolescents experiencing symptoms of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). We work closely with your family to diagnose, assess and treat your child’s behavioral, medical and communication needs. As a family-based program, we help you understand and better fit into the world that your child is living in to create stronger bonds within your family.

This autism center is located in the center of Connecticut, midway between NYC and Boston.

This hospital also does sports medicine, where top athletes can get care outside the bright lights of those two big cities.
I'm sure this is where the wealthy send their kids for help.

If you can afford it, there are healthcare specialists that work on referrals and don't take insurance.
I doubt Trump's policies will have any effect on this segment of the Healthcare Market.

It will be a HUMONGOUS relief on the economic situations of American autistic people that have been exacerbated by the Biden-Harris Administration as well as their needed resources available to them, like health care. In Florida, where I live, thanks to DeSantis, the State was able to get a very accurate estimate of how much money it costs to care for illegal aliens in the state of Florida: $566 million dollars.
{URL redacted}
That's just illegal aliens to start. We are not counting those with TPS, which is legitimizing unfettered mass migration.
Imagine what the quality of life for people like us here in Florida would be like if just that sample of the iceberg state money was instead used to properly care for us, to give us proper accommodations, and more importantly for urgent medical care. So if you get bitten by a viper for example, you would have extremely long waits because some migrant took your spot and it's resources in the ER. Imagine what good will it do for a wound that requires immediate prompt attention.
Oh yeah, don't forget Trump's Right to Try program. The liability burdens in using new breakthrough medical treatment to treat stuff like cancer is very very useful to people like us as well.
