It’s interesting to muse about the larger picture here. What is it that makes autism so dangerous? To me it looks like part of an almost spiritual war against empathy/compassion by traumatized individuals trying to fight their own Jungian Shadow.

Autists are just an easy group to target that can't fight back too hard.

It's just the next step on the escalation ladder. They'll come for all of us eventually

My prediction will be that ADHD people are next. Only 2% of the population and the social conservative supporters of RFK Jr have always hated giving kids stimulants despite the clear evidence supporting its use. There is STILL an ideology among conservatives that the current crop of people being diagnosed as ADHD is "wrong" and that people "with ADHD" are just junkies abusing stimulants or otherwise "overprescribed", despite clear and obvious evidence that people diagnosed with ADHD struggle to get their medicine for utterly stupid reasons and that we objectively do not have the capacity to evaluate everyone who needs it.

They will claim that ADHD people are a drain on society and are unproductive and are just being lazy.
