I subscribed to say thanks for your reasonable position. As someone with what I am told is likely a mild touch of autism, I found RFK's statement admirable.

I do not know what he will do, but I do think it would be really good to give the profoundly autistic individuals and their families+caretakers the help they need, and people playing language games around this are not offering help.

Thanks again, Alex

"I subscribed to say thanks for your reasonable position." - Agreed

"As someone with what I am told is likely a mild touch of autism, I found RFK's statement admirable." - Myself as well, on both points.

ASD can be (not always to be sure) a blessing. Severe autism is a blight.
