Wow, autism turns out to be not only bad but also women's fault. Amazing what an investigation under the impartial leadership of misogynist neo-Nazis can discover.

Well as long as we can blame women, that's what's really important. Remember moms, if your child is neurodivergent it's entirely your fault you irresponsible hag.
you irresponsible hag.
This sounds like satire, as though this isn’t exactly what these people actually think.
100 years ago, when these people think was the ‘golden age’, women were actually blamed for their children’s issues. They blamed nearly everything on women. Yeah, let’s go back to that: MAGA women, how does that sound to you? Do you think you’re one of the good ones?
Let’s bring back lobotomies for women who have too many opinions, too. The world was better when only men were allowed to have opinions and women were the root of all evil, like the bible says.
One remembers the "refrigerator mothers" idea
Oh god. I’d never heard of that. That was a thing, started by an asshole psychologist in the 1940s. Legit psychopathic mentality, wtf.
e: so the jist is that your kid is autistic because you suck at being a parent and are too ‘cold’. Imagine your’re doing everything you can, but the entire medical system is telling you it’s your fault for not caring enough. That’s the ultimate gaslighting. Because if you cared enough, your kid wouldn’t be this way.
e2: and reading more, they took kids away on this grounds. I feel so horrible for those parents. You had no recourse at all. You were doing your best, and your child had a medical issue, but based on the social symptoms of your child you were a ‘refrigerator mother’ so your kid was put in an orphanage. Wtf.
There were no autistic people before the 70s, of course 🙄
This dumb bitch.
So my wife who can't take Tylenol yet my son is on the spectrum, I am doubting this finding.
She must have been sneaking them when you weren't looking. /s
You should control your woman so she can’t get away with this. You know better than her. Did she goto college or something and get infected by DEI?
Oh my god yes of course this is /s
Anecdotal. However RFK jr. has even less evidence. sigh.
The makers of Tylenol are about to sue the shit out of this clown.
Sadly theyre going to sue the shit out of the US government, which we will all be paying for with tax dollars when they win… direct consequence courtesy of the morons who voted for this
Can they please just sue Jr. directly instead? Maybe if we ask nicely they will?
Why are these people so desperate to find some external factor for autism?
Because the anti-vax people who have autistic kids hate their children. They hate that they're not perfect and "normal". And they hate that they have to deal with a child that requires more care than other people's children do.
I think we should make banners and say it out loud to every single person who can hear.
#Anti-vaxxers HATE autistic children
#Especially if that autistic child is their own.
Because they can't cope with random chance, there has to be a cause. They need a villain.
Sigh… here goes: because then they could “fix” it.
They don’t want to fix it, they want to blame the victims for “causing it themselves”.
Because the religious and/or kooks don't sit well with the chaos/randomness of life.
So something so ludicrously common that it basically can't be proved. Super.
Did you know that 97% of people killed in car accidents clean their teeth on a regular basis? I think we need to look into that.
What a fucking joke. Tylenol is literally like, the only painkiller you can take while pregnant. Our OB said only Tylenol. To attack this, that is in such broad use, is to clearly state that this study is bunk and they're just making shit up
While this has been a serious inquiry of study, there is no causitive relationship yet. Also I'm fairly certain we would have a significantly higher population of autistic individuals.
Microplastics in the air caused by brake and tire dust seem to be the most compelling link I've seen. But that would mean a rethink of way too much, so blame a generic drug no one will bother defending.
For fucks sake, someone please stop this brain-worm-demented menace. He’s gonna kill so many people.
How far are we along with "autism is a genetic defect and we are now euthanizing defective humans for the benefit of society" are we?
I like this guy. He's on track to finally pin lung cancer on the tobacco industry. Any day now.
That dude is talkin a lot of shit for a guy standing in the "get pushed in front of subway" zone.
Assuming autism is “caused” by something and there is an “increase” of cases (not just diagnosis). Shouldn’t we start checking on Monsanto and the pesticides before anything else? Why are they obsessed with vaccines and medications?
Is there really an increase in autism or increase in awareness of neurodivergent/autistic people? The increase in diagnosis doesn’t necessarily mean there’s an anctual increase of cases. You can’t measure anything if you don’t look for it in the first place.
A reminder that this wrinkly wavery fuck set a deadline for this conclusion. That’s… not how science works.
In the article it says folinic acid is a treatment for autism. Like....what?
Fucking crackpots in charge. This makes Lysenkoism seem sensible in comparison.
No one ever looks at DuPont or 3M. Major producers of forever chemicals.
I'm gonna need to see more than one peer-reviewed study before believing anything coming out of this administration.
Here's a few, not sure if they're peer-reviewed but one is a meta-analysis. Important to note which journals these are published in, since less reputable journals will happily publish a lawsuit-seeking falsified study in exchange for money.
Anyway I haven't read these, here you go:

In conclusion, on the basis of these studies, only weak associations between paracetamol exposure and neurodevelopmental issues have been identified, and no causal link can be inferred.

Acetaminophen use during pregnancy is associated with an increased risk for ADHD, ASD, and hyperactivity symptoms. These findings are concerning; however, results should be interpreted with caution given that the available evidence consists of observational studies and is susceptible to several potential sources of bias.
- Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6822099/
Cord biomarkers of fetal exposure to acetaminophen were associated with significantly increased risk of childhood ADHD and ASD in a dose-response fashion. Our findings support previous studies regarding the association between prenatal and perinatal acetaminophen exposure and childhood neurodevelopmental risk and warrant additional investigations.
2019 American Medical Association
Okay yeah now I'm concerned.
What education, qualifications, experience and/or expertise does this clown have? As far as I know, the only thing he knows about "pharma" would have come from his heroin use.
I link this worm infested brain dead twat to a very large piece of shit.
Damn I didn’t think brain trauma was inherited from uncles
