Federal Autism Registry Proposal Stokes Fear

National Institutes of Health Director Dr. Jay Bhattacharya sent shockwaves through the autism community by announcing the creation of a "disease registry" to track autistic people. Nazi Germany used such a list to identify possibly hundreds of autistic children to be killed in experimental "euthanasia" clinics. Until the 1970s, numerous US states used registries to identify disabled people to be subjected to forced sterilization and institutionalization. A number of states still maintain lists of autists. "The history there is deeply, deeply disturbed," says Larkin Taylor-Parker, legal director of the Autistic Self Advocacy Network. "It doesn't usually end well for us. It has ended in murder " industrial-scale incarceration and murder." Link: www.nih.gov

If I were an autistic person or the parent of one I'd evade this thing with all of my might.

Medical and psychological professionals need to do the same thing.

Time to remember that the people wanting such things are fascists.

This is a genius plan.

Make it so stigmatized to be autistic that you simply refuse to be diagnosed.

Then when they declare the "cause" in September and rates fall, they can declare themselves smarter than all the scientists and doctors who have worked on this for decades.

Oh, and don't forget to buy your anti-autism supplements at checkout, rates dropped once they started selling those too.
