Autism isn’t an inherently bad thing. I have friends and a cousin with autism and they’re awesome and socialize and are just fine in society in every way. Stigmatizing it to make vaccinations seem horrible is just stupid in so many ways.
I mean autism is an inherently bad thing in that it’s basically just raising the difficulty of life across the board, and that’s for high-functioning autism. Low-functioning autism is its own beast. There are aspects to autism that would make someone think “oh no this could happen to my child?!”. Still better than the imagined alternative obviously.
this isn’t true, lots of aspects of autism make life way way way way easier especially in the age of technology. There are so many things that are utterly obvious and trivially easy for me that allistic people around me can barely wrap their heads around.
autism in a society that doesn’t hate nonstandard people is just a sidegrade, there isn’t really anything about autism that is inherently difficult, it’s just different.
I have an autistic parent. Family that I had to rely on as a child. Autism is not a positive thing. It doesn’t make you a bad person or somehow morally less, but it does make you an emotional drain on everone you interact with.

Yeah vaccines being good/bad is one set of politics. It’s a whole other thing to add autism in just to use it as a reason to hate something else.
