There is so much wrong with this statement by Health & Human Services (HHS) Secretary RFK Jr.

1) Autism isn’t a chronic disease. It isn’t even a disease.

2) Autism doesn’t lead to someone potentially developing fatal encephalitis (brain swelling) or pneumonia.

3) Autism doesn’t require urgent medical hospitalization (which measles can) & stress the healthcare system.

3) Autism doesn’t spread from person-to-person in the air.

@dalfen Is he even aware that Autism is a spectrum and that many people with Autism are perfectly functional?

@soulexpress Great point. I have been wondering the same thing. My guess is that he knows very little about autism like he knows very little about measles.
