One Thing You Can Do to Help Support Autistic Rights Today
2Visual Description: A woman addresses the camera. She has brown hair worn in a braid, brown eyes, and wears blue-rimmed eyeglasses that help her to see. She's dressed in a black cotton dress. There's a bedroom with blue walls behind her. Midway through the video, footage of RFK Jr.'s campaign suspension speech is shown. This is so that viewers can hear his own words from his own mouth.
Description: I know that there are many compassionate, kindhearted people out there, who would happily do what they can do to support the rights of autistic folks like me. So please, if you're in the United States, contact your senator and ask them NOT to confirm RFK Jr. for Secretary of Health and Human Services. Here's a helpful page to help you find your state's senators: https://www.senate.gov/senators/senators-contact.htm
Please note: I've chosen to include footage directly from RFK Jr.'s speech for context, and to show that I'm not making things up or misrepresenting him. I condemn his views and find his depiction of autism to be abhorrent and hateful. I'm autistic, NOT an "illness".
