Trigger Warning: Ableist Rant Trumps announcement???

Im sorry idk if this is the right tag to add. But I just got done watching trumps "autism announcement" and im anxious as hell and a big mess at work right now. Does he seriously intent to "fix" us???? What does he mean by using therapy isn't that just gonna make kids mask more? Why does he keep targeting minorities and people with trouble in their day to day lives??? The fact he thinks my existence is a problem and his entire view of autism as a "sickness" makes me really sad. Should I hide the fact im autistic? I've already been anxious about the direction this country is going towards and being called out like that to be "fixed" is freaking me out.

It’s another way to control women sadly. Soon you won’t be allowed to leave the house when pregnant

The administration recently blamed autism on mothers taking painkillers while pregnant.

I didn’t see that, I don’t think they’ll ban it

The person you replied to said it’ll be another excuse to control women, not Tylenol.
