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.
The psychologist who did like a shortened test on me actually recommended against going further and also getting diagnosed by a psychiatrist if I don’t want any official support. Just not worth a lifetime of discrimination within the medical system. I’m noticing it happening with my ADHD diagnosis. That one’s worth the discrimination though, since the treatment is a life saver (potentially literally).
The article specifically states that the reason for getting this info is to link with other datasets to look for causes for the increase in autism cases.
“Linking CMS claims data with a secure real-world NIH data platform, fully compliant with privacy and security laws, will unlock landmark research into the complex factors that drive autism and chronic disease — ultimately delivering superior health outcomes to the Americans we serve,” he said.
It makes no mention of farms for neurodivergent people. That’s some nonsense.

Agreed, treatment changed my ADHD life. And it’s still nowhere near removing all of the symptoms
Why?
RFKjr is setting up a national autism registration and he’s already proposed to send neurodivergent people to farms. It’s pure Nazi eugenics.
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?
