Connected In The Den

Respectfully Mr. Kennedy, Autism is Not A Disease

Krystie Ann

In this honest & unfiltered episode, I am sharing with my full heart my personal experience as a mixed Black, autistic woman, calling out the harmful narratives that continue to stigmatize neurodivergent lives. I was sparked by recent remarks from Robert F. Kennedy Jr., this conversation is both a clapback & a call-in, addressing the misinformation around autism, the deeply human reality of masking, misdiagnosis, & medical gatekeeping, & the ways in which the system continues to fail marginalized communities.

This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt unseen, misunderstood, or boxed in by a system that treats difference like a flaw.
