As an autistic person with 3 kids with ASD, I get triggered by this bullshit nearly daily. I sincerely hope that whatever "reveal" they have planned does not further harm our ability to access the early interventions that my kids are benefiting from.

It will be nothing. He has already made it clear he doesn't even know what autism is.

He doesn't know what tariffs are, either, but did that stop him?

RFK I meant. From comments he's made it's clear he thinks autism refers to being nonverbal or similar.

But sure yes I'm sure Trump doesn't the understand it either.Heck tons of practicing therapists don't even understand it.

Not to be pessimistic, but I’m pretty sure that whatever they do will do more harm than good, given how much of a hot mess the current administration is.

Welp, better hope they don't decide it's a heritable condition that can only be solved via sterilization programs! Because that has absolutely happened before in North America.

I think it's more likely that it will be used as an excuse to actively harm and oppress autistic people and anyone else they can use pseudoscience to try to label as 'damaged' or 'unnatural', rather than merely taking away existing aid.
