Wow, glad we got that cleared up in 2026.
The “everything causes autism” groupthink really downplays and distracts from the long-standing but poorly-communicated fact that circumcision offers no health benefit that regular bathing won’t cure.

You still shouldn't mutilate a child's genitals unless medically necessary.
I am circumcised, autistic, and agree with you.
However it’s crazy dangerous for autistic kids for society to assign blame something clearly unrelated with what their parents believe is something wrong with their child.
I'm not circumcised, but I don't see circumcision as mutilation.
It’s mutilation because it’s a permanent, irreversible removal of the most sensitive parts of the penis, removes the gliding action, protection of the head of the penis, there’s no free option to get reversal surgery to restore gliding action (the rest is lost permanently and can’t be replicated without tissue regeneration technology that hasn’t come to market yet, which may never come to market), usually the frenulum is removed (it’s the most sensitive area), etc.
I still do not understand the mutilation aspect of it. It is a practice which is common in certain cultures and religions. I did not have my children circumcised, not that I even thought about it, but I don't see how the practice has to be condemned in any way.
It removes a piece of skin from the body, sure. I would not equate that to taking away somebody's arm. People live their life happily without problems if they are circumcised.
I guess maybe sexual pleasure may be affected? I do not know. I have met plenty people who were circumcised and they never complained about that. After all the nice part in having sex is the connection with the other person.
Regarding the fact that it is protective, sure it is. But I doubt that kind of protection is really needed nowadays when we wear underwear, trousers and have shower almost every day.
Not that I appreciate the practice itself: I don't really see the point; but I also see no reason to condemn it.
Do many circumcised persons want to revert the operation? I have never heard about that.
yes, although the vast majority of circumcised individuals can still copulate, feel sexual gratification, orgasm, etc., the level of sensation loss is so massive that the two experiences are not comparable. As someone circumcised after their first sexual experience, I can confirm this fact. While yes, you can wear a cock ring to immobilize the foreskin to simulate the loss of gliding action, the sensations brought about from tissue that is removed in circumcision makes that simulation a still better experience than the circumcised experience.
All that said, the level of sensitivity declines as you age after circumcision because the head of the penis will generate a thick layer of keratin in response to external friction that wouldn’t occur if the penis was covered by foreskin, much like a callous that develops on your feet or hands from over-manipulation/exposure to stress. Many accounts of adult circumcision cases fail to follow up with patients as they age and the keratin layer develops over time.
My penis was incredibly sensitive feeling following circumcision, but some time later it was dull feeling. Years later, it was numb to sensations of temperature and light touch.
Now, that said, I’ve been undergoing circumcision reversal, and I’m about half way restored. The only parts that have improved are the keratin layer (gone now, temperature and light touch are restored slightly), and the gliding motion.
Who the hell thought that it did?
I'll give you one guess.
The Jews?
They are quite famously pro circumcision.
🤔 I'm pretty sure they didn't know what autism was when they invented circumcision.
I literally don't have one.
Apparently it CAN, however, include a man putting his mouth on your child's genitalia and potentially giving them herpes.
Weird how no one ever mentions the ancient Jewish tradition of being the first to suck a baby's penis. But, I guess maybe that's because it's not as nasty as the ancient Jewish tradition of mutilating a baby's penis so he finds masturbation less pleasurable for his entire life, to show their parent's fealty to the god of suffering.
the mohel yells to the crowd, blood spilling down his grinning lips, as he surveys his community, spending extra time in eye contact, lavishing in the recognition from every man, woman, boy, and girl, as they squirm in the recognition that they are owned, wholly, by their pact with the war god, the god of sand and ash.
Edit: so there is no confusion, this is the Christian, Jewish, and Muslim god. I am not singling out those of Jewish faith. yhwh's gift of suffering, though experienced by us all thanks to his followers, is experienced by none more than those in the three branches of his death cult.
I used to piss my aunt off when I was a kid and she made us go to church by arguing that if a being created a species and knowingly chose to endow them with free will and minds so that each member of the species could do whatever it chose based on it's own understanding, desires, and personal values.... and then after a lot of them decided to do things it didn't like decided to genocide the species and give the few survivors rules that if they spent their time adoring it and loved and worshiped it above all else it would give them eternal bliss, but if they chose to not do that it would condemn them to eternal torment... then worshiping that being as a God seems like it should be considered a moral and ethical abomination.
It's clearly shown itself to be so self obsessed and uncaring about the lives of any other being that it was willing to wipe out the bulk of the life on a planet just because it wasn't getting it's way. Worshiping it out of fear that if you don't you'll be tormented eternally if you don't and/or out of the hope that if you do as told you'll really get eternal bliss is throwing away your own moral and ethical compass and agreeing to follow something clearly evil and uncaring because it threatened you or in exchange for the hope of personal gain for yourself.
The God of the Bible isn't a caring or just being. If someone believes the Bible is a true and accurate, then the God it describes has done evil on a scale nothing else in history comes anywhere near.
... I guess it makes sense why so many who call themselves Christians are so obsessed with spreading evil and making others suffer.
this is the Christian, Jewish, and Muslim god.
Completely wrong. Christianity removed the requirement for circumcision in the earliest days. That's a primary reason why it became so popular. It's alot easier to join a religion when you don't have to mutilate your dick.
Thank you. I've looked for a good gif of this scene before and could never find what I wanted, this time I decided to finally make it for myself.

Sometimes I walk swinging my arms around as if they were just hanging from my upper torso. I apologize for the lewdness but I don't feel like I should chop them off.
... so? Female genital mutilation doesn't cause autism either, but we don't use that to make it seem alright.
It does, however, produce trauma
Maybe they should just stop all this and check whether nuerodivergent people might possibly have other nuerodivergents in their family.
Hey, my parents were perfectly normal! My dad liked to spend hours in the basement playing with his model train set, just like my grandpa.... Ohh shit.
We're not becoming more aware of neurological differences and diagnosing, we're just becoming less tolerant. Change my view.
I dunno man, it felt pretty intolerant of people who treated me poorly back when I was just considered "weird", compared to how I'm treated now that I have a known condition. I feel way more accepted now than back before people understood what this all was. Now I have all kinds of tools to help me cope that I never had access to before.
Laughs indigenouly
Less tolerant? No, the skull crushing machine is just running out of its favorite foods. Welcome to the menu.
Or maybe even check out social factors and the pseudo-scientific foundations of "mental/behavioral health".
People will think anything other than they are undiagnosed and passed it on genetically...
It's just another form of religious genital mutilation.
No autism conspiracy required to object.
It’s a ploy on the ED drug sellers to ensure they have plenty of patients in their 50’s.
for religious reason is stupid, but later in life for health reasons its necessary(like infection, balanitis(the rare forms). to the fool that think soap is useful, also the obsession for circumsions is just as disturbing as the obsession against it , it can actually cause issues.
