Rand Paul on Trump’s autism comments: “I think autism needs to be studied. It's unknown as to what the cause is. I know a lot of parents with kids with autism. And, frankly, we don't know what causes it, but we certainly should keep looking.”

It's always "the kids". Does he even realize he's talking about many of his constituents? Some of them his own voters. They aren't really that hung up on "the cause", but there's a thousand other things related to autism he could be doing as a legislator.
Can they just fucking leave us alone?
This is so frustrating. We know what causes it (genetics). And there is nothing wrong with “it”. They need to stop wasting time on this and provide support for autistic people instead.
🤦‍♀️
Maybe they should perhaps ask some autistic people 🤷‍♀️
Exactly. In despite of me being a socially awkward and anxious individual, I’d rather have someone directly come to me and ask me, or talk to me about, whatever they need to. Be direct and as literal as possible. Ya know? ⬇️
So many people pre-assume first, then ask, then get upset or defensive when what they think is wrong.
The leading cause of autism in children is having an autistic parent
Wow, he takes a lot of words to say nothing.
It really is like some people have no concept of genes/genetics.
So,… he knows a lot of closeted Autistics that have kids? 😂
wonder where he got his md from
