Thank you for this post. As an adult on the spectrum, the horror of RFK Jr in a position responsible for public health is scary. I am standing up and speaking out for all of us, and spreading news of his fascist, eugenic ideas to everyone I know.
I would like to share this post with people off of Substack, with your permission, of course.

I share your horror. I'm glad to live in Canada so I'm not directly under his control, but the fact is that in the age of social media, this kind of rhetoric and misinformation knows no borders.
This bullshit narrative can infect people here, too.
Jesus Christ on a pogo stick. I hadn't even heard about the toilet comment. So ridiculous and infuriating.
I've been on SSRIs for anxiety and depression for 30 years, and without them, I wouldn't be alive. I can honestly say I've never wanted to shoot a gun at anybody, much less commit a mass shooting. Brain Worm Bobby's idea to have us work on a farm is insulting. Ironically, as a medical editor who knows at least a little about medicine, I'm more qualified for his job than he is--but because I'm on Zoloft, he thinks I'm dangerous and belong on a work farm. Never mind that I'm almost 50 and have chronic back and knee issues and a special talent for killing plants.
Both of my nephews are autistic, so his attacks on autistic people feel personal to me, too.
My ancestors didn't fight in the Revolutionary War for our country to become a dictatorship. I've been pushing back against this regime with every tool I have, and I won't rest until I'm dead.
The United States is standing at the edge of the abyss right now and just waiting for the right push to go plunging over. Whether it will be a collapse of everything we know, or a leap off the cliff into complete authoritarianism, is anyone's guess right now but the whole world is watching, like waiting to see the end of a cliffhanger in an episode of your favorite drama.
Be very glad you're not an American nor live in the U.S. right now. The only things you need to worry about are your elections taking place, whether the western provinces will foment even more separation anxiety and the economy if the U.S. continues its trajectory. I wish that is all I had to worry about.
Stay safe. I wish you all of the luck I can give you from down under here in the U.S.
