Remember, every time you talk about gun control, they hit the panic button over "teh registries" being used to infringe upon people's rights. But a registry to track girls periods and a registry to track autistic people? Nothing to see there, move along.

But have you considered the constitution doesn't give you the right to be autistic or have a period.
I would argue it's in the preamble.
We the People of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
That's commie talk. All we care about in murica is the first amendment (exclusions apply) and the first half of the second.
They've already backtracked it seems
Sounds like something nasty is in store for autistic people. A register like that will be used how? Discrimination, concentration camps, victimisation….?
Neuralink tests maybe?
Hmmm, Nazis have a long history of research using minorities.
and this is why i'm glad i didn't do the last test to confirm my autism
Suddenly 50% are no longer autistic.
Or, we all are. If they are intent on documenting the signal, we can at least increase the noise.
I mean that there are a significant number of people who claim to be in various medical minorities, who have no interest in getting a medical diagnosis out of fear that they won’t be in the group.
I believe a person’s medical history is none of anyone’s business—until they use it as a weapon, and then it’s very suspicious when someone gets upset if asked to back their claim.
Although, anything they’re doing I’m sure is not for a good reason.
