So, apparently New Hampshire has a mandatory database of autistic individuals. I wonder if that violates our state constitution's right to privacy? cc @ACLU_NH @NAMI_NH #NHPolitics @DellaLuna/1669873338192392194

I have never tested positive for autism. I have resisted the diagnosis not because of this database, but just because I thought other diagnoses are more accurate. I personally wouldn't mind going in the database if I did have it, but I know that many others would mind very much.

Update: I got back some info about the autism registry from a research request I put in about it; reminder to myself to dig into it later...
