On this episode of Asking Autistics, RFK Jr.’s controversial autism comments spark fire! Host Lindsey Bee and guest Jocelyn (AuDHD Advocate) break down the harmful rhetoric, unpack autism’s spectrum, and confront the dark history of diagnoses. They tackle infighting in the community, why police interactions turn deadly for autistic individuals, and the urgent push for systemic change. Plus: why language is important - and why autistic lives matter, full stop.
