It gets dumber. Worm brain and no brain now state confidently that autism is because the mother took a paracetamol. They're incredibly stupid "people".

    It sets up the legal framework to charge parents of autistic children with child abuse and take away their kids.

    It’s already been happening in Oklahoma btw. Can’t get the fucking news to cover it.

    Look at what was happening at the Greer Center.

    It’s all across the state. Very deeply entrenched - look at how the whistle blower had her pictures posted around town/was sexually harassed in retaliation for bringing up the physical abuse of children/vulnerable adults.

    I have personally begged news outlets to cover things like DHS not reporting missing, DHS throwing away reports of abuse, cover ups…. No one cares. Everything’s Sinclair.

    If we ever return to federal sanity, maybe things will get investigated. But childcare and mental health care and education here are hellish.

    Anyone who says this stuff to me I'm going to just retort it by blaming it on other scientifically unsound reasons. Not because it will help, but because it will be entertaining for me. "Any father who ate red meat in the week leading up to insemination increased the chances of autism from near 0, to 1 in 50."

    If you blame red meat a lot of these people will just nod and rub their chin knowingly. There are a lot of crunchy hippies who have completely disconnected from reality. But I guess reducing meat consumption isn't a bad thing

  • Yeah maybe you get less cows and more people focusing on a healthier diet when trying to procreate. With any luck it'll lead into them trying to stick with healthier choices for them and the kids long term, but that's just wishing. I know I make bad decisions and backslide all the time. Whether it be dietary, alcohol.... Answering comments of upset people who you can't reason with. I do it all

    Studies show that sexual congress in a north-south orientation results in an 83% increase in autism diagnosis.

    It's a correlation doesn't equal causation issue. Iirc years ago there was a study showing that certain viral infections during pregnancy might be linked to autism.

    Guess what people often take for symptom relief?

    The influence of genetics is very clear, with anticipation up the spectrum with every generation, especially with older parents.

    No one in austism research is taking environmental factors seriously in the last decade.
