I didn't get that from what he said.Yes, but it’s not the majority. Kennedy talks like it’s all autistic children.

And if you take into consideration the broadening of the diagnosis in recent times the truly disabled ones virtually never become independent.I decided to see if I could find the answer myself. I did, at least for young adults:

2. Only 19% of Young Adults with Autism Live Independently
Research conducted by Drexel University highlights that just one in five or 20% of young adults on the autism spectrum have lived independently (without supervision) in their early 20s. This statistic is a stark reminder of the significant barriers many autistic individuals face when striving for autonomy.
In contrast, 87% of autistic young adults live with their parents during this stage, relying on family support. These findings reveal the critical role families play in supporting their loved ones and the need for broader systems to help individuals transition to independence.

I can't understand how anybody can be born with autism
because I can't understand anyone
who would drag an innocent new soul
into this shithole of a universe.
I was skeptical when the the Gestapo wanted kids in the 1970s.
The way it is now, it shouldn't even be a consideration.
You're now inflicting life, not gifting it.
So Trump has autism?There are autistic who cannot control their bowels. Autism is not always mild.
YOU ARE the IGNORANT ONE!
yes.Fine, but there are limits to how "unaware" doctors could have been a little less than 40 years ago. From everything I've seen, the primary factor isn't that doctors have become hyper aware of autism, but that autism has been rising drastically over this time period.
You actually believe there's a correlation between vaccinations and autism which is totally insane.Being born these days isn't always a bad thing. I now have 5 nieces, and one of those nieces has a daughter of her own. The first 2 nieces were born a while back, both in their 20s now, the last 3 were all born less than 3 years ago. I think they're doing fairly well- one thing though, as far as I know, none of the new nieces has received a single vaccination, so I think the odds of them getting autism is quite low.
In 1981 when my son was diagnosed with Autism the rate was 1 in 27000 ,As Knuckles pointed out in post #2, autism is not always mild. And the rate of autism has been going up for a long time now. From an article published today:

Kennedy shared data from other previous studies on autism prevalence, including a 1987 study from North Dakota, in which researchers attempted to identify every child with autism in the state. In 1987, 330 out of every 1 million kids were diagnosed with autism. “Today there are 27,777 for every million,” he said.
“If you accept the epidemic denier’s narrative, you have to believe that researchers in North Dakota missed 98.8% of the children with autism,” Kennedy added. “Thousands of profoundly disabled children were somehow invisible to doctors, teachers and parents.”
“Doctors and therapists in the past were not stupid,” Kennedy added. “They weren’t missing all these cases.”

‘Genes Do Not Cause Epidemics’: Kennedy Lambastes Media for Denying Autism Epidemic, Vows to Research Environmental Triggers
HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. today called out the National Institutes of Health for spending 10 to 20 times more on research into genetic causes of autism than environmental ones. He said HHS will make grants available to university scientists and others to research the environmental...childrenshealthdefense.org
so you're a nazi then?I can't understand how anybody can be born with autism

yes.
the big pharma, medicine, banker Nazis want to destroy our minds with poison.
it because big pharma and big medicine want poison food to create customers.I don't know about motives, I just believe that there is more of a reason for this drastic increase in autism beyond doctors becoming more aware of its symptoms.

As for parents who don't have their kids vaccinated, social services should and must take their kids from them.
Unvaccinated kids are biological weapons against one another.
In 1981 when my son was diagnosed with Autism the rate was 1 in 27000 ,
that was under the DSM III.
since then the DSM"s have changed,
The DSM IV made diagnosis tighter , the DSM V opened it up a lot more , I don't know after that but they do change.
I read it is now 1 in every 32, or even higher.

I'm telling you about motive right now.
will you learn?
just like the military industrial complex foments war through the intelligence agencies to create customers.
you must face the full evil.
there's plenty of evidence.I'm hesitant to believe bad things without evidence. I believe there is plenty of evidence that all vaccines cause harm and none of them benefit people. But as to why so many still believe in them, I think that's another matter entirely. I genuinely believe that people like Nifty fully believes that they are "safe and effective" and it may be beyond my power to change his mind on that. All I can do is point to the evidence that persuaded me otherwise.
Can't get piles of money for "special needs" students if you don't have any...Because the "spectrum" has been broadened to include every kid who's a little odd now days.
Can't sell drugs to kids who don't have a "diagnosis".
I have known of a couple of the type you describe and it's no joke.
