Robert F. Kennedy Jr’s comments about autism are part of a long legacy of right-wing politicians deciding which people’s lives are and are not worth living.
It’s highly likely he’s on the spectrum, at least ADHD. He grew up in a family that couldn’t handle mental “illness” because it looked bad to the press and whatever other reasons. So he basically had his problems completely ignored and swept under the rug at various boarding schools along with having a bitter and verbally abusive matriarch. Couple that with drug abuse and the dude never had a chance.
He’s basically “run home”, like preacher’s kid that was a disaster in their youth but then came roaring back full-on God Squad Bible Thumper in their midlife of so.
So he’s just doing the same crap to everyone else that was done to him: you don’t have a real problem, and if you do have a problem, it’s your fault.
Who wants to bet her being half goddan brain dead shook him up as a kid. Like seriously, “visit Aunt Rose, she can’t think properly!” As a kid that would have fucked me.

Was it his sister who was lobotomised?

Edit: auntie. Sounds like he would have seen her at family things in the 80s.
