I certainly understand why this topic is triggering. It is nauseating for me to post and comment about this topic. If this topic that may directly affect so many members were not allowed I would seriously have to start to think about leaving.

Everybody handles things in their own way and I certainly respect JamesW’s decision to take a time out.

But why is it triggering? Do people have those same ideologies as Trump and they feel attacked when people criticized him?

People really tell on themselves.

I don't care much for vaccines since i was born long before the MMR was ever issued.

However RFK is right to look at damaging chemicals in our food, water , environment and question big pharma.

Its a fact that the US is fatter & sicker than ever and those that make us sick are making big profits from that.

Unfortunately the autism community is infected with identity politics which poisons any debate on what is in effect a net negative for those with even the mildest traits.

People misrepresent any attempt at cure and prevention as a personal attack against them rather than just referring to a separate medical condition, its not enough to be autistic they literally want to be autism.

The bottom line with autism from a national perspective, if an adult human cannot look after themselves a family member or a paid carer has to step in to provide that. That obviously costs money and human resources, resources that would have gone elsewhere like caring for the elderly for example, so in effect makes autism a burden regardless of vague sweet euphemisms of "difference" & "strengths & weaknesses".

Which is why it cannot be ignored
