This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”.
This is a manifesto against disability.
This is the language of eugenics.

I hate that there are valid points buried in this cruelty. Yes. Something IS different about our diet than all our other counterparts worldwide: it’s the sugar and salt lobbies. This isn’t a secret.
We have more stress as we’re ground under extreme late-stage capitalism.
All of these things are terrible for health.
There is little wrong with ND folx that isn’t external: disability is defined by capitalism in our case.
The eugenics of this is gross: neurodivergencies, auto immune disorders, and those “chronic ailments” vaguely referenced—all genetic.
Everything comes back to capitalism and profits in the end. Everything.
