In the executive order establishing the Make America Healthy Again Commission, the White House stated that the rising number of people diagnosed with chronic health conditions “poses a dire threat to the American people and our way of life.” Trends like the “staggering” rate of autism diagnoses, “harm us, our economy, and our security.” They even assigned a dollar amount to the damage: “Ninety percent of the [n]ation’s $4.5 trillion in annual healthcare expenditures is for people with chronic and mental health conditions.” A $4 trillion price tag makes justifying cuts to services easier. And the public, already battered by inflation, tariffs, and rising costs of living, is less likely to object to slashing programs if their recipients are characterized as burdens and threats to the country’s way of life. The value of autistic people to society is being questioned, and in the crosshairs are those who can’t participate in the workplace, integrate into mainstream classrooms, or live independently — those who fail to “pull their weight.” Within the autistic community, a collective of vastly different lived experiences and abilities, it will be the most vulnerable who will suffer worst and feel the first impacts of regressive policies and funding cuts. This is a precarious moment for all people with disabilities. The US government is putting a price on keeping disabled and chronically ill people alive: here, in 2025, it’s $4 trillion; in 1939, in Germany, 100 million reichsmarks.
