"'[Autistic people] 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 out on a date,' Kennedy said"
1. I pay taxes.
2. I ran 5km this morning.
3. My poetry has been published.
4. I've been on dates; I'm married.

Hey Kennedy, you see how idiotic this sounds?

My autistic neighbor is an entrepreneur, married, amazing father, and pays a ton of taxes. He can't hit a curveball, but neither can I.

This point of the American timeline has become nauseating. The entire country is run by the mean "D" student bullies that only got put in charge because they lucked into wealth or were born rich. It's a class of human that can only feel good about themselves by putting down others or devaluing others.

And FWIW this is a shitty headline by the Washington Post. It should read: "RFK Jr incorrectly states that autistic people don't work or play sports. He's wrong!"
