activities that would result in "identifying themselves as autists" include: seeking a diagnosis in the first place, getting the help of a mental health professional, frequenting support groups and forums, and wearing a fitbit or smart watch.
It's really not a good thing when people, high functioning or not, are forced to choose between getting the help they need and being targeted by their government.

- autoexec 1y agoIt's one of the many private data sources they were planning to use to track and collect data on autistic people for their database. https://people.com/rfk-jr-to-launch-autism-registry-using-private-health-records-11720156 https://people.com/rfk-jr-to-launch-autism-registry-using-pr... Autistic or not, giving that kind of health information to private for-profit companies who collect that data to use it against you or sell to third parties was never a good idea even before the government wanted to take it for themselves.
- jdrek1 1y agoAh, I didn't know that. To me your sentence read like autists out themselves by wearing a smartwatch. Fully agree with you on that, the less data they have, the better.
