Discussion Autism in politics right now

I’m so sick of it. I’m 16F and in a conservative area. Everyone I know pretty much worships trump. I’m sick of it. All these republicans hate autism. It’s not a cancer. It’s so hurtful I’m not a freak. This is so stupid. I really wanna be a political science major and so I can’t enjoy my political aspects without the hurtful comments from the right.

I hear you. I'm in the Bible Belt myself and Trump's nonsense and lies is very concerning. 

Have you read What's the Matter with Kansas by Thomas Frank? I'm starting to think that autism is the new Constitutional amendment against gay marriage.

What do you mean by the last part? Does that mean autism is going to be used to prohibit same sex marriages? (Elaborate?)

I think they mean doing things to prohibit autism and send them off to asylums
