Rob McConnell Interviews - JON MICA - The Autistic Holocaust
In this deeply sobering and important conversation, Jon Mica addresses The Autistic Holocaust, examining historical and modern systems that have marginalized, dehumanized, and harmed individuals on the autism spectrum. Mica explores how discriminatory policies, forced institutionalization, eugenics ideology, and social neglect—past and present—have contributed to widespread suffering within the neurodivergent community. This discussion is not about shock value, but awareness: highlighting forgotten history, ongoing challenges, and the urgent need for dignity, inclusion, and protection of autistic lives. A powerful dialogue that calls for education, accountability, and compassion in how society understands and treats neurodivergent individuals.
