“He was in fact, exactly that stupid…” - Ron Howard
Short answer: if they got it bad, they’re dead or in a nursing home. That’s why they aren’t walking in a mall. They ran out of health.
Long answer: in recent times, there seems to be lower threshold of diagnosis.
But if he truly thinks he can pinpoint exposures that increase autism - things like the exposure to tetraethyl lead which probably increased criminality and decreased mental health - good luck for combing scientific studies. There may be some. But if he’s gonna rewind the age old “vaccines cause” record and replay it, nah, I won’t be listening.
They’re going to blame flouride for sure
Way too many rural (i.e. well water) cases for that to even make a good scapegoat.
It’s not that there’s a lower threshold. It’s that the definitions and our understanding of Autism changed. People who formerly would have been labeled with Asperger’s are now labeled (correctly) with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Plus we’ve learned how Autism can present differently in other communities that aren’t white male children. Acknowledging that girls can even be Autistic is a relatively recent development (the 90s).
The truth is that there are likely a ton of people out there with undiagnosed Autism, because they wouldn’t have met the criteria to be diagnosed as kids based on our understanding at the time. It’s why there are so many adults now getting late life diagnoses.

That is in-fucking-sane
It is still in textbooks that girls are not likely to get it. Clinicians are still being taught this.
Yeah. And then they wonder why the number of diagnosed people has increased. 🙃🤡
I was a scientist and have tested on the spectrum myself. And I think a whole lot of my colleagues would have too. Except if you’re high functioning and productive, there is little reason to test you. The misery of being on the spectrum and not being able to easily socialize with other people or to detect their emotional states is unimportant to society as long as one meets the performance standards society sets for you. Not that I’m complaining but I might have felt better about myself if I had known why I wasn’t able to do those things until I was an adult. I suffered depression largely because I was “weird” growing up and was bullied until I became an accomplished wrestler and it became dangerous for others to bully me. I truly think sport saved me. And taught me how to act more normally. Not everyone on the spectrum is so fortunate.
This, exactly. I didn’t get diagnosed until my mid-30s with either Autism or ADHD. My life would have been so different if I had known earlier. I would have been so much kinder to myself. I’m sorry to hear you experienced the same. 😔
I suspect my grandmother has undiagnosed autism
Yeah, my uncle who passed definitely had Autism, and so does my dad. They’re half-brothers, which means it’s highly likely my grandmother was as well (which my dad also agrees with).
It’s definitely hereditary in my family. I also clearly get my ADHD from my mom.

The moment has reignited broader concerns about Kennedy’s qualifications and judgment…
He has no qualifications and an exactly equivalent amount of judgement.
🙄 🤡 🖕 🖕
He is a cis white male. Pretty sure thats all the qualifications he needs unless you are one of those “woke” people who think we should have experts running things.
He may have 0 qualifications, but I wouldn’t say his judgement is exactly equivalent. His judgment goes much more into the negatives, since everything he says and every decision he makes is actively causing harm. We would be better off simply having the role vacant, or giving the job to someone in a coma.
Ironically, even the most profoundly autistic people, the ones that resemble his characterization of the condition, would still be better at the job than he is.
his worms are doing all the talking./
Unfortunately lots of old folks think this way, actually today in the morning this same topic was brought up at breakfast by my mom, she was not being disrespectful necessarily but still is incredible how she cannot see that herself might be autistic and just never got a diagnosis
He’s dumber than most people can imagine. Jack, Ted, and Bobby might have been morally bankrupt but they weren’t stupid. Something went seriously wrong with this one.
heroin and worms was downfall.
Somehow JFK is still beating him in the brains department
Everyone in Donald’s Admin is fucking stupid. Donald blaming dei… as everyone else is saying merit.
It must be A1. It’s all computer!
The steak sauce? Mmmmm yummy.
The worm ate deeply _ although I doubt there was much to eat.
What there was was junk food.
Narrator: Indeed, he can
Methinks the “doctors” fucked up his so-called brain worm incident…
Evidently, they removed what there was of the brain and left the decaying dead worm in its place.
🤷♂️
Twist: The worm is still alive, and operating RFK Jr. like a fleshy mech.
No can’t be. I’d have a lot more faith in a worm.
Except not as charming, nor intelligent.
Cheeeeeeeeeeese???
or the parasites are still alive, parts of his brain “died” and the worms have replaced those parts.
It’s not doctor’s. Dude spent his life eating trash at the dump and no I don’t mean that figuratively.
I read that in the voice of Ron Howard
He’s been unfit since he got in.
Plenty of older people have ASD. I know a couple personally. They have childhood stories of being beaten, yelled at, difficulty with teachers and peers. They claim to be fine today, but telling horror stories of your trauma as a kid really says otherwise. If ASD was bad enough to be “retarded”, they were kept from society and/or put in State Homes. RFK is ADHD, and the only thing that kept him out of jails due to the untreated effects when he was younger is hs family name and wealth.

That and having a penis. Rosemary wasn’t so lucky.
Exactly. His frickin aunt was institutionalized and lobotomized for her intellectual disability.
Worse, his father thought that she would make JFK look bad
Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
Congress too, we need them to step down. The rich are afraid of taxes, congress needs to be more afraid of us than they are of taxing the rich. they still need to get food. They still have family that live in our communities. They should feel as safe as an illegal immigrant smuggling thought crimes across the border.
oh so now he’s unfit?
There’s this thing called the internet:
I would be pretty proud to be the number 1 on this search result.
Touted ‘Unfit’
By senators prior to his appointment?
No, by some anonymous posts on social media last week
So will this result in any actual consequences?
Absolutely not
Great
Maybe he has Autism
