I think I've figured out why RFK Jr has such a poorly informed perception of autism and autistic people: why he thinks autism "destroys families" and why autistic people will "never hold a job" or "use a toilet unassisted".

The problem is that he only knows one autistic person. And he's seen how that person is unable to fit into society and how that person destroys lives.

But he doesn't realize that Elon Musk's problems actually have nothing at all to do with his autism. And most autistic people don't actually have the same devastating impact on others that Elon has. Elon Musk is just a terrible person, and that's completely unrelated to his autism.

I mean, if I thought all autistic people were like Elon Musk, I'd be desperately searching for a cure too.

Thankfully, I've known some wonderful autistic people who are interesting and curious and enrich the lives of those around them.

Maybe if Bobby met some autistic people who weren't Elon Musk, he'd change his tune.
