Episode 155: The Tangerine Regime's War on Neurodivergence

“Today’s episode analyses the potential threats to neurodivergent individuals and disability rights under the new political regime in the US. The source article, by Dr. Jaime Hoerricks, highlights concerns that figures like RFK Jr. and policies within Agenda 47 signal an ideological assault, potentially dismantling crucial support systems and promoting eugenicist frameworks. Dr. Hoerricks contends that neurodivergence is being reframed as a defect to be eliminated rather than a natural cognitive variation. It examines the financial and ideological connections between political figures and groups pushing anti-vaccine and anti-neurodivergent rhetoric. They warn of restricted medication access, promotion of harmful “alternative treatments,” and increased government surveillance, drawing parallels to historical eugenicist movements. Dr. Hoerricks calls for resistance led by neurodivergent individuals and advocacy groups to protect their rights and challenge harmful narratives. They ultimately fear a “controlled collapse” of society into corporate neofeudalism, Christian nationalism, and fascist authoritarianism, urging immediate action to prevent this future.”
