Autistic people and their loved ones have swiftly and publicly rejected statements by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the nation’s top health official, that people with autism will never play baseball, date, pay taxes or have a job.
RFK Jr. said autistic people don’t work or play sports. They say he’s wrong.

Remember who was sitting right behind Donald Trump on his Inauguration Day? The richest man in the world, the tech billionaire tycoons, and his billionaire cabinet. He’s certainly delivering his “golden age” for them, but it’s crumbs for everyone else. That’s the Trump economy.
