For the record: the wonderfully neurodivergent, autistic people in my family pay taxes, hold real jobs (some at their own businesses), and have deep, meaningful relationships. I respect all of them a heckuva lot more than I do this guy's poor science.

RFK Jr. said autistic people don’t work or play sports. They say he’s wrong.
The health and human services secretary on Wednesday suggested that autistic children would never play baseball or pay taxes, enraging those in the community.
