I get the upset but this isn’t a privacy violation. SCOTUS already said we have no explicit right to privacy. Also, there is a national HIV/AIDS database that was used to discriminate agains PLHIV for decades, legally. He 100% plans to weaponize this database & just not sure how/if it can be stopped
“The study also plans to link medication records from pharmacies, lab testing and genomics data from patients treated by the Department of Veterans Affairs and Indian Health Service, claims from private insurers and data from smartwatches and fitness trackers.”
It's "othering" of folks who aren't mediocre, straight, white, cis, hetero men. It's a first step towards eugenics. We've seen this movie before. We know how it ends.
Not to mention that autism is a SPECTRUM. It's in the name! So while you do have cases where there are those with the condition who are severely delayed and may never live a life without support services, there are also plenty of people (even undiagnosed) who can live lovely, independent lives.
So are you saying that the severe cases are ok to track? Your post is irresponsible as severe cases also live a full life. You should be ashamed of yourself.
All people deserve medical privacy, regardless of their condition. Unfortunately there are many people who incorrectly assume everyone with ASD is a severe case who is incapable of living independently - and that's unfortunately going to be used as a scapegoat to justify the tracking.
No matter where on the spectrum someone is, they deserve dignity, care and privacy when it comes to their healthcare, and agency in what services they receive and how they receive them since NO CASE should be treated with a single treatment plan since different people need different amounts of help.
AuthorSSD asserted no such thing.
Tracking people living on the spectrum is a hot button with those who know the least about autism & often have the strongest prejudice against those who are.
It just shows how much neoFascism had decomplexed on its own lack of moral standing.
And they said that 'having the gay disease' caused immoral behavior.
Repeat and rinse but the Orange will come out, this is not going to happen, if we all say #NotOnMyWatch!

What good is HIPPA then? He has no right to do this anymore than Musk had a right to retrieve our SS#’s or tax info!! This whole entire presidency and cabinet is fascist!! We’ve got to get our rights & democracy back!!!
We must stop him.
If we don’t rise up, nobody else is going to do it.
Protest work, IF enough people participate. Calls to senators sends a message, writing the supreme court’s, puts pressure on them, attending town halls, intimidates our elected officials & that’s effective! We must be proactive…
Fuck no! I don't have autism, but fuck, he's out of what's left of his mind after 14 years of drug addiction and a worm eating half of it. Fuck all the fucking way off Kennedy.
I'm sure at some point he'll start a database for our LGBTQ2S+ community. Honestly, I will probably never set foot in the USA again and that saddens me.
Nah, everyone knows it's Pluto and not vaccines that cause autism. Vaccines were around way before Autism. For all we know Pluto came into existence in 1930. Do your research!
An action right out of the Nazi playbook. Where will the info come from? Don’t we have HIPPA laws or are healthcare companies going to obey with this illegal act?
I get what you’re saying, but “tracking” is a completely different thing in a country our size. Some with autism haven’t ever been diagnosed and many don’t receive any treatment. It likely wouldn’t even be listed in a med chart as a diagnosis. Everyone associated with this admin is a Nazi, though.
Well, you can’t lock them away in institutions if you don’t register them beforehand, can you? Maybe give them some kind of sign to wear on their clothes instead. They’re following Hitler’s playbook play by play. It’s completely disgusting.
IEPs are restricted and I believe numbers are assigned to students rather than names or identifying data points when data is used for reporting purposes. I'm hopeful states say no to cdc/nih. Rules do apply and anyone aiding this fascist goose chase should be held accountable.
RFK Jr and the rest of the trump cabinet of conspiracy theorists, QAnon adjacent, morally corrupt and there for personal notoriety or gaining wealth is the result of voter apathy. I sure hope those who sat home recognize the danger they didn't see in 2024.
Stigmatization leads to less people reporting but not necessarily less people seeking care. It just means that Autism is going to get rebranded (misdiagnosed) as anxiety with ADHD, etc. and treatment will be misdirected. We will have more kids on unnecessary meds just to stay in the classroom…
We won’t have resources for kids with special needs without the DoE. Wealth will buy you treatment, access and anonymity. Socioeconomic disparities will grow and they are counting on this making people with disabilities look more like a burden on the system.
Donald Trump chose RFK so he could get the votes of the anti-vaccine conspiracy lunatics who had not yet overdosed and died on Ivermectin Horse Worm Veterinary Medication for Horses !
Let's not forget that the rhetoric RFK Jr. Is currently spouting is the same shit as was spewed by Hans Asperger when he worked for the Nazis. Autistic people deemed non-useful were just more fuel for the ovens.
It's even dumber when you realize he claims to be taking information from "National health databases" that don't exist. And no private providers can cooperate without breaking HIPPA.
It's got to be a distraction, unless he really is that dumb.

This is the real tracking we need. Every idiot, asshole, lie, grift, broken law, government contract, grant, and loss to taxpayers from investing the federal reserve’s into crypto.
We want to know, when it disappears into trumps and
Elons, crypto wallets.
Not even an opt-out clause. #Autistic people , families, friends and even those with no immediate connection to autism , should be on to their political representatives pronto. Get this dangerous insanity pulled. A precedent for more madness to come.

He's 'We already have Mel Gibson at home' Mel Gibson. He's cheap, legally dubious, knockoff Mel Gibson. He's Mel Gibson with lead paint and choking hazard parts that fall off just by looking at them. What I'm trying to get at is that he WISHES he was microwaved Mel Gibson.
This is a concern of mine too. He said they would leverage doctor and pharmaceutical records. That cannot be legal. And if it’s voluntary I truly hope people educate themselves before including themselves or their family on this. I see danger ‼️
Since their stated interest is to amass data from already existing databases, which would have already been anonymized in order to be HIPAA compliant, yes.
i bet the amount of times children go to the docters then goes down. hes gonna gush its because he made them healthier. in truth? their parents will be too terrifed of him getting his hands on their babies medical info
and soon it will be other disabilties=kids wont get tested for any learning disabilty or anything along those lines because he made their parents too damn scared.
First, he needs to track and stigmatize his own disease of stupidity and privilege that has caused his brain to melt! This ignorant fascist is not worthy of being in the presence of a wonderful and intelligent autistic community!

Not legal! If he wants to run a research study using volunteers who meet his criteria that is fine.
But getting rid of scientists, researchers, and funding…. Rather difficult on many levels.
What’s he going to do with the collected data? Dangerous man!

It’s actually Nazism, fascists while vile beings, are a step down on the mass deportation/torture/murder continuum. Worth getting the terminology right. Fascism is too small a word for these alien invaders that belong in an episode of Star Trek.
eugenics war is coming. they are doing everything they can to make us fight each other. when instead what we need to do is bring the battle directly to them.
I hate to be the harbinger of yesterday's awful news, but the State of Texas has already been pushing for autistic people to have a special marker on their Driver's License/ID for about a year now.
Hard to think of a public health benefit from such a registry that can outweigh the cost to implement and maintain this registry, not to mention the privacy implications.
I was seriously just thinking "he looks like a 3/4 deflated basketball." Mean and shallow of me, yeah, but sometimes I just cut myself a little mean & shallow slack, goddammit.
This is illegal and unconstitutional people’s medical records are private. This is how I’m saying these people want in on our lives. Talk about big brother next to gonna want cameras in our bedrooms. I don’t know the fascination what these people is with controlling others but it’s disgusting.
Yes, it is. But please use *autistic* people, not "people with ASD". Statistically a VAST majority of us autistics prefer avoiding PFL. One of the main reasons? Because it isn't a disease!
Because you are very influential, please consider using the language most of us prefer when advocating for us.
It appears that people disagree on that point. Some consider person-first language preferred. So it's a bit odd to instruct someone what the "proper" phrasing is, as there seems to be no consensus.
It's different if someone's addressing only you, and you have a preference.

I hope zero doctors ever comply. Or they give him bogus data.
How’d that work out?
This is how the government comes for its own people. Yellow stars, pink triangles, what's next?

A GPS tracker that will alert people to their presence so they can be blocked from access to places.
Wherever they stand, people already know where they are.
