I'm on the autism spectrum, with very low support needs. My health care provider has that in my medical records. Now I'm worried that I'm going to disappear into some camp, and my wife will never know what happened.

RFKjr is setting up a national autism registration and he’s already proposed to send neurodivergent people to farms. It’s pure Nazi eugenics.

My pet goldfish was also sent to a farm when I was a kid. Sending people to farms sounds like a euphemism for extermination.

I did a search, and discovered articles pointing to sending addicts to farms. I couldn't find anything similar for neurodivergent people.

Can you link something?
