As a member of the ASD community, I have to say,

I used to think my Autism made me feel worthless because I couldn't seem do things other people tackled with ease, thank you so much for sticking up for us Dana, big time
You're the greatest (and sparkliest)

This guy can rot in hell's furnaces

...Right?

But the one thing I never had trouble with was paying taxes!

No deciphering emotional puzzles to do taxes, just instructions and maths.

I’m not autistic, and can generally navigate social situations to a high degree of skill!

I also can’t do my taxes without screaming at the forms for being too confusing. My spouse has done them since before we were even married.

I had a flash of the 'screaming cat' meme except it was a unicorn screaming at tax forms "WHY IS IT ALWAYS MATHING?" XD

I bet my autistic ass pays more taxes than the guy whose brain worm died of starvation

And to be clear if I paid no taxes and had no dates I'd still be a worthy human being

I could say a lot about this, but like, wow… that’s all I got. Wow.

Here and autistic and having done plenty of these things, this is just… wow.

Not to mention the “environmental factors” elephant in the room.

Again, wow…

I'm ace, so no, I don't go on dates but damn do I pay my taxes.

This guy is one of those idiotic people who think Autism = Vegetable. >_<

"The rates are going UP! That means there are more kids with this!"

No, wormbrain. _Diagnosis_ is going up. The Autism was already there, they're just getting better at spotting it.

That is really some ugly things he’s saying.

There’s something about deciding to sweep problems under the rug by defaulting to bigotry rather than deal with all the world’s complexities that signals such laziness. Why does he even pretend to have a job?

I think someone should tie him to a chair and just put The Pitt on a loop. He wouldn't understand it or anything, of course.

This idiot has no business being anywhere near the government.

vanagonfan.bsky.social•23 days ago

It's genuinely sickening to watch him dehumanize autistic people while pantomiming sadness.

brainmist.bsky.social•23 days ago

(maybe get vaccinated for EVERYTHING first.)

pandragon.bsky.social•23 days ago

They'll never WHAT?

I want my taxes back, then

My step son is autistic, medium functioning, and he pays taxes and loves to work and contribute to society. He has more empathy in his little finger than junior has in his entire body. If anyone even tries to harm him or tries to hurt him -- they have to get past me! For RFK Jr:
