I mentioned getting vaccinations updated soon to my parents last night who immediately hit me with "VACCINES ARE BAD, BLAH BLAH!!"

I told them well I'm sure to die some day and if you're worried about autism I suppose you should know that ones already been passed down to me

These are the same people who have locked themselves in the house for flu season and wouldn't let me in their house for a paper I needed them to sign because I'd been to campus and "could've brought something back" and have had friends die THIS YEAR from the flu and who almost died to COVID.

I don’t understand the fear behind autism. My daughter has autism too and she’s the best cuddle bug and so sweet. I love her just the same as her brother and sister and the diagnosis changed nothing how I feel about her.

leti-jones.bsky.social•3 days ago

Abortion is murder but letting your kid die from a perfectly preventable disease is cool.

erincandy.bsky.social•3 days ago

Make it make sense!

deekerskeepers.bsky.social•3 days ago

Wait until they find out that autism is genetic and vaccines have nothing to do with it.

erincandy.bsky.social•3 days ago

Exactly

Vaccines cause kids to survive long enough to possibly get diagnosed autistic and eventually become reasonably healthy adults. Period, dot, end of sentence. The book by the "doctor" who "discovered" that bs connection is on the list of titles that make me want to bonk heads when they cross my desk.

confusedtabaxi.bsky.social•3 days ago

Someone actually told me this. To my face. In the UK. The look on their face when I told them I was autistic was priceless and led to stammering following but "but mercury" 😡

erincandy.bsky.social•3 days ago

Wowwww

confusedtabaxi.bsky.social•3 days ago

I was PISSED... it's kind of like the moment where your brain goes "did I actually hear you say that?!" so it was my only response that I had that wouldn't land me in a police cell.

yozorita.bsky.social•3 days ago

EXACTLY!!!

vonrotte.bsky.social•3 days ago

Vaccines didn't cause my autism. Vaccines didn't cause my kid's autism. I'm not letting anything take credit for my precious chaos goblin, but I guess my ex helped a little.

High five to your chaos goblin

vonrotte.bsky.social•3 days ago

Kid makes me proud everyday.

jackcoopchloe.bsky.social•3 days ago

Actually, the vaccine is one of the safest in the world… 97% protection for life

erincandy.bsky.social•3 days ago

Yes truly a medical miracle until antivaxxers decided to ruin everything

jackcoopchloe.bsky.social•3 days ago

I can understand someone not wanting to get vaccinated, but to put your children in jeopardy, just because you don’t believe in the ‘science’, is ignorant/shameful.🫤😕

rather-be-readin.bsky.social•3 days ago

My mom didn't vaccinate me and I STILL ended up autistic! 😂😂🥲 (I got my vaccines as an adult)

eugenebwhitaker.bsky.social•3 days ago

you’re kind of fuxked in the head if you think vaccines cause autism anyway.

erincandy.bsky.social•3 days ago

See next skeet

banana42boat.bsky.social•3 days ago

People are afraid of level 3 autism bc historically high needs disabled people were targeted by eugenics and sent off to die in farms. Today they are unsupported and often left homeless. But rather than holding the system accountable, they blame disabled people.

polecat3066.bsky.social•2 days ago

Doesn’t. Cause. Autism. That study was debunked.

polecat3066.bsky.social•1 day ago

I’m confused. I KNOW they don’t cause autism. I never said they did. Being autistic doesn’t make you anything but different than others. I have mental illness. I’m different than others, too. Everyone has something that makes them different. Our differences make us stronger.

erincandy.bsky.social•1 day ago

I know I was agreeing with you

polecat3066.bsky.social•1 day ago

Oh. I didn’t see my part I’m sorry.
I don’t know what time line you are in it’s 12:31 am here, but I hope you have good night.

erincandy.bsky.social•1 day ago

No worries! It’s 11 am here! Totally opposite times haha. Goodnight!

erincandy.bsky.social•3 days ago

Vaccines don’t cause autism you’re just stupid

gibbsmoryss.bsky.social•2 days ago

Anybody who doesn't want an autistic (or otherwise not-"normal") kid should seriously just abstain from having children. Genetics are a dice roll, and there's no absolute guarantee of how any given combination is going to turn out.

themadtinker.bsky.social•3 days ago

fucking this. They're just stupid.

monsterlady.bsky.social•3 days ago

I am on the spectrum and can't understand why some parents are so afraid of autism. They worked their butts off to give me the support I needed and now here I am. Autism can be managed and there is help available and no it definitely does not come from vaccines.

erincandy.bsky.social•3 days ago

That’s what I mean autism has many different forms on the spectrum and not to mention VACCINES DONT CAUSE AUTISM.

monsterlady.bsky.social•3 days ago

Exactly. When Ford was first elected and cut the autism program I screamed into my pillow because autism does not magically disappear when you come of age. It is a lifelong condition. He needs to go.

alexandros2112.bsky.social•3 days ago

I mean, if you’re a parent with an autistic child or one on the spectrum, and you vote for Doug Ford, you are the biggest asshole and should be launched directly into the sun. #Ontario

monsterlady.bsky.social•3 days ago

Agreed. I mean I am very fortunate that my parents sensed something was off about me at a young age and I got a diagnosis sooner but my heart goes out to those who didn't get the same treatment and had to struggle more into adulthood. Please let him be gone tonight 🤞🤞

erincandy.bsky.social•3 days ago

I didn’t even get diagnosed AuDHD until my 30s. They just said I was gifted as child bc I kept to myself and was smart. But I started to really have trouble with math and numbers and could not fit in socially. Autism wasn’t really talked about much in the late 80s early 90s

dirtsquirrel.bsky.social•3 days ago

I didn't get my audhd diagnosis until this year (I'm 37). maybe I wouldn't have dropped out of highschool and college of I'd had any support whatsoever for it

monsterlady.bsky.social•3 days ago

That's strange because I recieved my diagnosis at the age of 4 plus with ADHD so idk maybe I had some stereotypical symptoms back then that I've overcome but I still really wish things would change so girls can be diagnosed more early and not be forced to struggle socially growing up.

amysmilebatto.bsky.social•3 days ago

and even if they did, how the hell is that the bigger dealbreaker

erincandy.bsky.social•3 days ago

Autism is my super power

amysmilebatto.bsky.social•3 days ago

ikr it's so cool

it's like a big fucking laser powerful enough to annihilate whatever task i point it at

...would love if my ADHD didn't have such god-awful aim tho

erincandy.bsky.social•3 days ago

If we could pick what we get hyper focused on we would be UNSTOPPABLE

jetsamnflotsam.bsky.social•3 days ago

We autistic are awesome. Ask my mom. No one is more loving.

thataquarianfriend.bsky.social•3 days ago

That was one of those things that when my dad talked like that, I really wanted to yell at him. Like how dare you act like I would have been better sick or dead than just myself and alive.

lbthebrainsupreme.bsky.social•3 days ago

I second this.

paisleyjane.bsky.social•3 days ago

And what exactly is wrong with having an autistic child?

Honestly some of the most creative, intelligent people are autistic. I’m finding they’re making a disproportionate contribution to the good of society compared to the rest of us

Just my personal observation

erincandy.bsky.social•3 days ago

I agree

drkimm.bsky.social•3 days ago

Autism is hereditary every family knows this if you have someone on the spectrum.

Something could be making symptoms worse but i doubt vaccines. Educated successful fathers who marry late have the highest incidence. Look there.

tishtishtish.bsky.social•2 days ago

Sadly a lot of people may know this deep down but they still want desperately to look the other way and find someone else to blame. That’s why there’s still so many studies on ‘what causes autism’ and none on how to actually support us

Also! Traits > symptoms

drkimm.bsky.social•2 days ago

yes and yes. also not many want to talk about the past Generations. a few decades ago if you had autism people would come to your house and take the child away without parents consent.

so that certainly contributed to fewer diagnosed cases.

aspieinblack.bsky.social•3 days ago

Thank you.

gladdiegoodevening.bsky.social•2 days ago

I’m the mom of a beautiful autistic daughter. I would never want her to suffer childhood illnesses. I vaccinated her. I also vaccinated my other two neurotypical children. So there’s that.
