While not without its challenges, autism isn’t a curse to be cured of, as the likes of the US president and RFK Jr want us to believeDonald Trump’s claims about autism deserve as little oxygen as possible, but it’s been a depressing, infuriating week for many autistic people and those of us who love them.
