The secretary of health and human services thinks that you can “self-medicate” by replacing a stimulant with an opioid. This is the stupidest fucking timeline.
Medicated ADHDer here, and I just cannot with this man.
Hold on, I thought his whole thing was that disease didn't exist if you ate well? Is he saying he isn't eating well or is he implying he doesn't believe his own gas?
So, Kennedy claims that ADHD doesn't exist, but he nonetheless had it as a child. He was (apparently?) cured of it by using cocaine (which, we all agree, is NOT healthy) and/or by his very healthy diet that caused him to get a brain worm. WTF?
25 years ago I developed a camp program for kids for the OSPCA. My nieghbour at the time has a child, Cameron, who has ADHD. Cameron’s mom wanted her child to attend the camp. Cameron was a handful at home and school, but I agreed. I was curious to see if contact with animals, combine with an active, stimulating program would have a positive, moderating effect on Cameron’s behavior. It was only one week but Cameron was not a handful at all. At home and school adhd would continue. I would have loved to have grown this study but it was not meant to be.
I taught 5/6 graders about ecosystems at an outdoor science school for 6 years. So about 3000 kids in my career. We hiked in the woods and learned 4-6 hours a day. It was often the case that kids who were "hyper", or "difficult" according to their teachers' reports, were fine in my trail groups. Sometimes they were the most attentive and insightful students. Kids are not meant to sit in a room at a table with their age cohort 6 hours a day writing things. Nobody is. Our entire educational model is deeply flawed... but don't get me started on that. In that job I eventually stopped reading the kids' reports, unless there were some severe red flags or disabilities, so that I would not become biased of the kids with "codes" on their records.

Now the shit that plagues rfk is called CRAZY.!
Ya know, the “opathy’s” are in the same category with neurodivergent disorders…. Psychopathy, sociopathy, ….
The regime is all about the grift, so I figure that the peptide manufactures are giving him a kickback.

What a fucking tool.
Fuck Trump.

THIS. Absolutely.
I really didn't need another reason to feel contempt for Bobby, but I guess I've got one anyway.
Tl:dr - Bobby Brainworms is a nutjob who has no business running anything more complicated than a lemonade stand.
Can we lose food dyes just to shut this guy up already?
This is someone who woefully needs to be removed from his position.
Might be ODD (Oppositional Defiant Disorder) 😁
RFK Jr. can fuck all the way off.
I stopped reading at “global leadership”.
You had (lost) me at "Joe Rogan's Podcast".
Fuck Trump.
I hate to keep bringing up that a worm ate part of his brain, but I'd be shocked if he didn't have ADHD.
