RFK JR dated view of Autism

Post Reply New Topic

It'd be nice if RFK2 became a member of Jello Biafra's old band.

Also:

While​ the frontal lobe controls movement, the cerebellum “fine-tunes” this movement. This area of the brain is responsible for fine motor movement, balance, and the brain's ability to determine limb position. A stroke in this area of the brain can lead to paralysis or “jerky” muscle movements

The question in my mind is so disability symptoms in autism are due to processing error in cerebellum, but how many of our thoughts/feelings that are divergent stem from the cortex? Obviously autism is defined as neurological disorder in that it is perceived that frontal cortex is responsible for say, behaviour etc. So many times when person has mild brain damage the symptoms present as damage to cortal.

Interesting question on wrong planet, are we neurodivergent and deserve acknowledge parts of ourself in depth of is this just a disability?

If say methyl Folic acid is absorbed and ( low functioning ?) People can begin to speak/perhaps better motor co-ord then clearly cerebellum was interrupted due to environmental toxins inhibiting absorption of vital nutrients. This cured would mean autism is less likely described as disability.

I guess I stand a good chance of staying off any autism registry. I was diagnosed in the UK and the Yanks have nothing in writing to say I've got it. What are they going to do, add it to the census forms and bust anybody who doesn't divulge? It's on that American Community Census form, but apart from pestering they don't enforce that, and most people don't get "invited" to participate.

You may already be on a registry

If you claim welfare or gov help in anyway i.e carers because of your autism diagnosis your on a registry that can be accessed by anyone in gov, cops, letter agencies the 20 year old office clerk.

It can be accessed by how long it takes someone to enter your social security no. and click search

Its possible to get mass searches too with key words like ASD for example. Its how gov plan things through mass data processing.

The question is are they interested in that time you went to the Dr for a stomach ache, probably not.

No we don’t. They are going to pull our names from medical records. The self diagnosers are looking good now.

Great. Now they get to single me out when push comes to shove then send me off to a camp.

WELL I AIN'T GOING!! !

I see. It's worse than I thought for a lot of American Aspies then. I guess most of them have it on their doctor's records that they've got ASD. So far we're a long way from being sent to camps, but I wouldn't put anything past the Trump administration. With a bit of luck this gov won't last long enough to do much damage to Aspies.

Judging by what RFK Jr said and what has been said on this thread, he is apparently looking for the cause of "low-functioning Autism," as high-functioning autistics (and those who have what used to be Asperger's) can have a job, write a poem, etc. So I'm thinking most of us on this site are not even on his radar and might not even qualify for his definition of autism.
