E14 | Autism doesn't destroy lives, but this rhetoric does
DISCLAIMER: this episode lightly mentions suicide, self harm and substance abuse.
In response to recent comments made by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. about autism, we dive into why this kind of rhetoric is not only harmful and dehumanising, but also rooted in outdated, ableist thinking. We break down some of the direct quotes, talk about the real-life impact of these messages, and remind listeners that every autistic experience is valid, and we don’t need to be fixed or cured.
