I wonβt share RFK Jr.βs lies about autism.
Itβs disgusting and dangerous.
If he had a shred of decency, he would apologize and resign.
Autistic people contribute every day to our nationβs greatness.

Feel like an escape? I've got ya.
Remember the 90's movie "Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken," where a girl in the 1920's runs away to join an act where horses dive off a 40ft tower, even after she goes blind? Favorite. π Did you know that it's TRUE story? I narrated it. www.audible.com/pd/A-Girl-an...
