Did you know?

Some U.S. states have registries and laws requiring that mental health professionals and physicians register autistic clients. They can be fined, disciplined, or lose their license if they don't report.

@autism101 @anomaluridae @actuallyautistic Well the paper says the reasons are:

  • Plan for policy and services.
  • Monitor the prevalence of a disorder.
  • Link individuals to services and resources.

And maybe that's true.

But given the occasional but increasing political weaponisation of autism, especially in the intersection with trans rights, but also sometimes in other areas, we should be aware of this, and resist any attempts to weaken our medical privacy.
