Because the anti-vax people who have autistic kids hate their children. They hate that they're not perfect and "normal". And they hate that they have to deal with a child that requires more care than other people's children do.
I think we should make banners and say it out loud to every single person who can hear.
#Anti-vaxxers HATE autistic children
#Especially if that autistic child is their own.
I've never thought about it like that but it makes so much sense. The hate in the heart of these people runs incredibly deep, I know because my own family has disowned me because I refused to "take the red pill".
I am a leader in a youth organization and we have a few autistic kids in our group. They are wonderful kids, and their parents are just amazing with their patience and love for all the kids. I can't imagine the difficulties they face, but I'm so truly blessed and happy to have these kids in my and my children's lives. I've worked with special needs kids a few times, and the pure joy they are capable of is something that sticks with you.
But I've also known a few less involved and less interested parents who denied and refused care for their kids who clearly need help. I can't say I know the political persuasion of any of these folks, but I'm pretty good at inference...
Yep, this is precisely it.
I really seriously believe that autistic/neurodiverse people and especially kids should be viewed as a kind of class of person that is at high risk of being discriminated against, hate crimed, targetted by state violence.
Hans Apsberger was a fucking Nazi who ... literally coined the term autism and yes, he is the guy apsbergers is/was named after... and yes, he directly orchestrated the deaths of 'mentally disabled' children.

They're gonna do another genocide, based on more junk science, just like the OG Nazis.
RFK Jr has already said he wants to take everyone on any kind of prescription psychiatric medication, move them to forced labor farms, house them in bunkhouses, remove their phones, all contact with the outside world, and also make them all quit their meds cold turkey.

This is the kind of shit you hear TrueAnon describing cults doing.
But scaled way, way up.
This is a recipe for causing millions of psychotic breaks, just cold turkey, unmanaged total cessation, no gradual wind downs with check ins with therapists and such, also done in basically slave labor conditions.
Possibly also worth mentioning is RFK Jr's aunt Rosemary.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosemary_Kennedy
She was suffocated as a newborn for 2 hours.
This caused her to be developmentally delayed.
They lobotomized her (while she was awake and conscious) at age 23.
This regressed her to the state of a 2 year old.
She was institutionalized and largely hidden from the public for the rest of her life.
....
This is literally Nazi mad scientist shit.
Does RFK have any autistic family? If love to know what triggered his crusade. It can't just be a belief in pseudoscience.
His aunt got a lobotomy for maybe having a mental disorder
She was oxygen deprived at birth because the doctor was running late and the nurses wouldn't let her mother push until he got there. By the sounds of it she had some minor learning disabilities and possibly some impulse control issues as a result. Because that allegedly resulted in her being somewhat promiscuous, her asshole father had her lobotomized.
I suppose if one really wanted to play armchair psychiatrist, you could argue that the failures of medical science of the time may have contributed to him having a negative view of modern medicine as a whole. Not a defense of the rat bastard, just mildly interesting to think about.
No, he's just an old narcissistic psychopath who is bitter because he's never had the respect that his father and uncles had, from the public, or even his own family, who hate him.
