    The (false) link is damaging to vaccine programs but it has no impact on the perception of Autism. Why should Autism communities care more than anyone else?

      Personal story. My daughter is on the spectrum, non verbal. When my father found out, he told me I was a terrible parent for vaccinating my kids.

      I think autistic people have a right to be upset that these fucking monsters are saying “don’t vaccinate, or you could end up being like them” The target for this are vaccines, but they’re using autism as the bogeyman
