Anti-vaccination rhetoric is also a policy failure.

Healthcare is so expensive people turn to alternative healthcare settings and groups which lead them to conspiracy theories and the alt-right.

Which is why I teach all of y’all every day. Cause y’all need to learn about sensory processing disorder, executive dysfunction, and alternative and argumentative communication
Non-autistic people often expect Autistics to learn non-autistic culture & communication. But non-autistics do not expect themselves to understand or learn Autistic perspectives. This means we could see non-autistic people as lacking empathy for Autistics.
