    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.

            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.

      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.
