Prioritize Support, Not "Curing" Autism - Respect Neurodiversity

To: Rep. Olszewski, Sen. Van Hollen, Sen. Alsobrooks

From: A constituent in Sykesville, MD

The proposed autism study led by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. raises significant ethical concerns. Amassing comprehensive medical records from various federal and commercial databases without informed consent is a serious violation of privacy. Categorizing autism as a "preventable disease" perpetuates harmful stigma and ignores the neurodiversity of individuals on the spectrum. This initiative reflects a flawed understanding of autism and undermines the rights and dignity of the autism community. Rather than wasting resources on such a misguided endeavor, it would be more constructive to direct funding towards supportive services, inclusive education, and promoting acceptance of neurodiversity. The well-being and empowerment of autistic individuals should be the priority, not seeking to "cure" or eradicate autism.
