Flushing RFK Jr.’s Autism Nonsense: A Spectrum, Not a Scare Tactic
from Firing Lane · host Croaky Caiman
In this episode of Firing Lane, Croaky tackles Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s latest descent into pseudoscientific absurdity — this time claiming autistic people his age “you never see,” branding them with invented terms like “full-blown autism,” and insisting they can’t write poetry or flush toilets. Joined by guests with real-world experience — including autistic individuals, behavioral therapists, and parents — we break down the facts, mock the ignorance, and expose how RFK’s pity-peddling isn’t advocacy… it’s opportunism wrapped in 5G conspiracies and pharmaceutical paranoia. Autism isn’t a tragedy. But RFK’s understanding of it might be.
