RFK Jr. says autism is a preventable epidemic. Critics name that framing dangerous and flawed. Few have lived the results of that rhetoric like Russell Lehmann. Once a fifth-grade dropout, Lehmann was nonverbal and recognized with autism at age 12, and even institutionalized. Now, he’s a visitor lecturer at UCLA and a nationwide incapacity advocate and autism influencer. His life challenges the concept that autism is one thing to be mounted or feared.
