Imagine taking your baby to a doctor visit, and the doctor notes that your baby is below average weight, and then the doctor calls in Child Protective Services (CPS) because he suspects that you and your spouse appear to be on the “autism spectrum,” and that you are therefore not qualified to parent your children, and they take your baby away from you.
Sadly, this kind of medical kidnapping goes on all across the United States every single day! We have been reporting on these types of stories for over a decade. This is one from Oregon that we reported back 2017, which also garnered national media attention:

Oregon Couple Loses Children due to “Low IQ”
The story today about parents being accused of being unable to take care of their children due to the “appearance” that they are on the “autism spectrum” comes from Texas, and the Family Freedom Project, which issued a press release today about baby Rose.
And remember, “autism” is a “disorder” defined by psychiatrists in their DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders), which does not include any kind of objective medical testing.
It is based solely on the subjective opinions of psychiatrists in their observance of human behavior, and which behaviors they consider “normal” and which ones are not, and therefore require drugs and medical intervention.
Texas Judge Greenlights CPS Reports Based on “Perceived Autism”

Press Release (received by email)
BROWN COUNTY, Texas — In a first-of-its-kind civil rights case in Texas, Civil District Judge Mike Smith has agreed with Brown County doctors that they are legally permitted to report parents to CPS based on the doctor’s perception that the parents may have autism.
In a recent hearing, attorneys representing doctors from Hendrick’s Medical Center and Pediatrics of Brownwood argued that doctors are immune from civil liability when they report parents to CPS because of the doctor’s perception that the parents have autism.
The hearing was part of a civil rights lawsuit filed on behalf of parents Joel and Donelle by attorney Ashley Thompson. The lawsuit alleges that the parents’ daughter, Rose, was taken from them for two and a half years after doctors from Hendricks and Pediatrics of Brownwood jumped to assumptions about the parents, repeatedly claiming in medical records that the parents were autistic and not capable of raising their daughter.
The case alleges that doctors not only reported the parents to CPS on this basis, but constructively participated in the investigative process, effectively running the investigation in significant part.
Doctors accused the parents of being to blame for slow weight gain in their daughter, but the condition was later shown to be genetic–a possibility the parents had raised with doctors at the very beginning of the case. Nevertheless, Rose has been separated from them for two and a half years. No apology for this devastating error was ever given to the parents.
