“Because of my family’s commitment to these issues, I spent 200 hours at Wassaic Home for the Retarded when I was in high school,” Kennedy said, referencing the Wassaic State School for the Mentally Retarded in Wassaic, New York. “So I was seeing people with intellectual disabilities all the time. I never saw anybody with autism.”

So, as a teenager RFK was qualified to diagnose autism?

You say that as if the patients at Wassaic weren't diagnosed by professionals and that RFK Jr. didn't have access to those diagnoses.

If RFK had access to those diagnoses, he would have said so.
Until then, it’s just his statement about something he was unqualified to make.
