I've said this before, but I truly believe at some point a psychiatrist diagnosed RFK Jr with autism or some kind of spectrum disorder and we are now getting to experience his grand display of denialism.
The guy was best friends with his flacon, was constantly called an odd kid, and has been fixated with being around, talking about, or acquiring dead animals since a very young age.
I don't know if he's actually autistic or just severely traumatized, but based on his bio it wouldn't surprise me if someone's given him the diagnoses in the past based on his history of troubling behavior.
We are all hypocrites to some degree, and many of us have underlying childhood traumas that lead us to do stupid selfish shit.
That said we aren't all trying to get a widely diagnosed disorder treated as an illness.
Autism is managed by many things, but it cannot be cured. This is bone chilling to a large set of the population.
PTSD is more likely. He was holding his dad's hand when his protection detail shot him.
Source for that? All the accounts I've read say that RFK was walking down a corridor after giving a speech at a podium, when he was shot several times by a guy who was angry about RFK's support of Israel. Doesn't sound like his son was present or the shooter had anything to do with RFK's protection detail.
RFK jr was at the Kennedy estate at the time of the shooting, he himself has stated it several times. Not to say that isn't traumatic especially with what happened to JFK. The other guy is either making shit up or has been lied to and is spreading said lie.
