RFK Jr needs to resign and issue an apology to the autistic community

This campaign has ended.

RFK Jr's statements about autism are both ignorant and dangerous, they stigmatize an already misunderstood community.
Those of us in the autistic community demand that he apologize and resign effective immediately as what we need is someone who has expertise in the Neurodivergent community and not someone who spouts off pseudoscience and unfounded theories.
These are harmful statements and should not be said by someone who's supposed to educated on health.

Why is this important?

People like RFK Jr should be educated in the subjects they speak about, not give into conspiracy theories which have no logical weight.
We need a person in charge of health who is both knowledgeable and compassionate, RFK Jr with his statements has proven that he is neither of these things.

I wanna thank everyone who's signed this petition and who took the time, however our campaign has stalled at 254 signers and it doesn't look like it's going any higher anytime soon.

I am ending the campaign as of today.

So once again from the bottom of my heart, thank you to all who participated in this.
