AUTISM IS NOT AN EPIDEMIC, PEOPLE WITH AUTISM ARE NOT BROKEN

RFK Jr: "By September we will know what has caused the autism epidemic and we will be able to eliminate those exposures."

Translation, he's going to make some shit up and publish it by September, If he doesn't fall into a heroin-induced coma by then.
Oh, wait...
If he *were* talking about an actual epidemic, what he's saying would differently awful. Supposedly there's an epidemic, and decades of researchers either didn't find a cause, or they did but then suppressed the knowledge.
And the ignorant POTIS repeats his lies.
And of course he will create a report to satisfy his false beliefs.
Parents lets their kids get sick and some die rather than be vaccinated because of these lies.
He went out on the trains yesterday. He's going tomorrow. I get a dozen photos, I'm stoked he's happy, but dear god do I get it? Not one bit.
(Serious for one second, pretty sure there's both auditory+visual stimming in there.)
So I guess I'll add this new political datapoint to the list 👍
He does have mental health problems, likely CPTSD from being abused as a kid. And instead of getting therapy he's passing it on.
If you want to know what God thinks of money, look at who he gives it to.
SCIENCE OVER ASSUMPTIONS!!
Our species hybridized with hominins like a bard at a kissing contest. As a result, humanity has many "after market" options to language circuits, attention, etc
This is a literal case of "Now that we look for it, we see it all the time."
If you capture the spinning of RFK Sr in his grave it should be enough to cover all the energy needs of the US. Maybe his uncles could add more for export.
Vaccinate me, vaccinate me!
A brain dead ass clown.

Try "by 40+ years of age" for a lot of women.
Tomorrow, empathy

You cannot say WHEN something will be known, period.
The scientific method is the scientific method.
I suggest he try to get that worm out of his brain.
Even more than I thought.
Historical evidence, such as the vast evidence turning out that most "great minds" of history would have some diagnosis today, it's clear that "disorder" and "progress" connect
Autism isn’t a thing you have. It’s a thing you are. You wouldn’t call a European person a “person with Europeanism.” You wouldn’t call a white person a “person with whiteness.”
It’s “autistic people” unless the specific autist you’re interacting with prefers PFL.
But sure, Mr. Brainworm knows better than someone who has actually autism.
1: these numbers are made up.
2: agree with your statement
3: he was being asked (read: told) that “you’re going to find it’s artificial or something to take or to stop taking or maybe IN A SHOT.”
4: Тяцмр said “it would be the biggest news conference
Maybe you heard it hear first.
But none of these guys get diversity and how important it is. Of course, that’s why we see so much failure in this admin.
RFK, Jr, on the other hand, is severely broken in that he is guilty of faulty thinking.
And many of us are disabled. Which doesn't mean we are less or need curing.
Autism is in a spectrum for a reason. Not every case is the same.
He's a recovering heroine addict, not a doctor or occupational therapist, and should be treated as such.
People are just different and that’s the good part, not the bad.
And now I get an entire presidential administration targeting people like me as I graduate from grad school.
Love my life.
God, I hate these people
The ironic thing though is that diagnoses are up so much because "higher functioning" people are getting diagnosed far more, not people with nonverbal or more severe phenotypes.
Elon does need mental health care and could afford to pay for it for his kids and baby mamas too. Yet he chooses to take it out on us.
Someone's making a list of all these messed up things, right?
Supplement with Iron and Folic acid - which we already do
Eliminate pollutants- he works for an administration which leased out lands for drilling and wants coalmines - and not wind power and unregulated fossil fuel use
Good LUCK!
Why not stop cutting down on SCIENCE, and invest in it, AF??
That would be more helpful than anything, you ignorant dumbfuck.
What comes out of that drug-induced, mentally challenged broken man - is everything BUT scientific.
FFS....
I have two on spectrum, and a husband who is 15 years older than I am. I think there could be many causes, but I wouldn’t trade my kids. They rock!
My son’ great
Grandfather was born in 1865. His grandfather in 1904. His father in 1948. Him in 2000.
This is about attempting to justify his lifes work as an attorney suing companies for millions of dollars based on fictious data and anecdote.
More waste & fraud to justify stupid peoples opinions.
Autism is different than being NT. Sticking to NT expectations, autistic people can't perform without accomodations. That's one way of understanding "broken".
You're challenging whether it's acceptable, and that's an opinion.
Careful who you cough on.
All that has changed is awareness.
The closest to an identifiable cause: congenital rubella syndrome – when a foetus is infected with the rubella virus during pregnancy.

So there’s that – a connection between vaccination and autism. But the opposite to the anti-vax claim.

But there's also this:

Autism has existed for a long time. My son is on the spectrum. We’re convinced it’s (at least somewhat) hereditary.
Is it an epidemic or new? More likely just recognized better now. And a lot of people have it — more than officially diagnosed.
