This is so terrible for so many reasons. One of which is this is the department that supports children with disabilities, including early intervention services. It is super wrong to pick on our most vulnerable members of society, simply because they cannot defend themselves. They should be ashamed (although, to be fair, I’m not sure they are capable of it).
Given that Elon used his (possible) autism as an excuse many times… ahh fuck it, I will say it.
I fully expect him to not only expect respect for his disabilities, but he also will hold it against others. Basically he will probably say it is to the best that austic kids either are exterminated or ‘be exceptional like himself’ if they want to live.
Certainly there is no precedent with fascists doing bad things to children with disabilities, right?
If not this, then upon what shall they base their policies?
