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.
And I’m sure the orphanage cured the symptoms? 🤦♂️
I guess they’re ‘cured’, if you mean ‘dead and buried in mass unmarked graves’. e: they don’t have those symptoms anymore.
Leonard’s mother in Big Bang Theory is based on this theory.
Although technically she should be Sheldon’s mother.
And Sheldon’s mother should be Howard’s mother. And he should be gay.
This dumb bitch.
Why do the worst Kennedys live the longest?
Does he even count as ‘alive’ with that Yeerk piloting his brain?
Mmm. That takes me back.
But I hear he’s great at the holophoner now.
The family has a tendency to not have a lot of brains
Maybe the ones who died young would have turned worse and worse over time if they’d had a chance?
Maybe. Most would consider JFK the best Kennedy, but he hired his own brother to be Attorney General, which is pretty fucked up.
Mission accomplished, eh buddy?
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
Oh God it’s the woke again! Please help! Woke got me
I found this particularly funny due to your username. I can totally see Dukat saying that lol.
Dukat has many statues celebrating what he has done for the bajoran people. If he doesn’t, he should have
The makers of Tylenol are about to sue the shit out of this clown.
They won’t. The knee will bend as always.
And then the government will buy a 10% stake.
Is there only one place that produces all the acetaminophen? He hasn’t named any brands directly that I’m aware but i don’t fallow that weirdo very closely. If he names a big pharm brand directly you know it’s some real market manipulation, right?
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.
Does RFK have any autistic family? If love to know what triggered his crusade. It can’t just be a belief in pseudoscience.
His aunt got a lobotomy for maybe having a mental disorder
She was oxygen deprived at birth because the doctor was running late and the nurses wouldn’t let her mother push until he got there. By the sounds of it she had some minor learning disabilities and possibly some impulse control issues as a result. Because that allegedly resulted in her being somewhat promiscuous, her asshole father had her lobotomized.
I suppose if one really wanted to play armchair psychiatrist, you could argue that the failures of medical science of the time may have contributed to him having a negative view of modern medicine as a whole. Not a defense of the rat bastard, just mildly interesting to think about.
Because they can’t cope with random chance, there has to be a cause. They need a villain.
They don’t wanna blame god.
Why blaming gods for random bullshit is easier on the mind? Random bird take a massive shit on my cars hood? Clearly Odin needs to reign in his ravens.
You get brought up with prosperity gospel and you think that wealth and good fortune are an indicator of holiness and piety. You internalize that shit. And since you worship what you have been told all your life is a loving god, since you do all the things your church tells you to, since you give them 10+% of your income and hate the minorities they tell you to and vote for the fascists they tell you to, you know yourself to be pious.
Understanding that we live in a random universe with no sense of justice is fundamentally incompatible with a belief in an orderly universe governed by a just god. So when you encounter misfortune, you don’t blame God, since you see Him as infallible and perfect. You either blame yourself or start looking for someone to blame.
Which is very useful to people seeking to manipulate hateful credulous people who are convinced of their own righteousness.
Muninn refuses he WILL poop on your car
Maybe Huginn and Muninn thought of something you didn’t or remembered that you didn’t give them treats.
Sigh… here goes: because then they could “fix” it.
i don’t need fixing. I just need support.

To be on the spectrum is one thing, but low functioning autistic is just soul crushing for people to deal with. I’ve seen some siblings struggle just because their family was pretty much screwed trying to raise a low functioning autistic child. I think I’ve interacted with two such people in many years, so it’s not particularly common compared to the larger population on the spectrum.
It’s one reason I don’t like autism as a spectrum, as there’s a world of difference that doesn’t seem right to cast one net over.
Exactly! Were going to get you on the raw gerbil-milk diet, boost your immune system and kick those nasty n-grams right out of your poor cortex :-)
Everyones someones aspie 😎
Because the religious and/or kooks don’t sit well with the chaos/randomness of life.
Because right-wing parents refuse to believe they have a genetic disorder in their in-bred families.
Whoa, whoa, I don’t like the insinuation that autism only comes from inbreeding either.
Depends on, many want a scapegoat to punish, many want a reason to try to “fix” us, and I guess many want a reason to leave those who are in need of support without it by blaming it onto them.
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
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?
His fixation on autism is super creepy.
Especially as a ‘disease,’ not a spectrum.
Not to belittle the effects on people of course.
How else are we supposed to make the pure superior American race? /s
I like this guy. He’s on track to finally pin lung cancer on the tobacco industry. Any day now.
More likely to blame it on oxygen.
That’s the sad thing.
The sentiment is good. MAHA pounding Big Processed Food and Big Tobacco and (to an extent) Big Pharma and such is great.
…If only the specifics weren’t so awful.
That dude is talkin a lot of shit for a guy standing in the “get pushed in front of subway” zone.
Personally I’m expecting him to get shot, not even necessarily for being a shitstain but because he is a Kennedy. If some dumbass can try to kill Reagan to impress Jane Fonda(?) for some reason then someone will want to kill RFK Jr for the meme.
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.

That’s exactly what the person you’re replying to meant by…
“increase” of cases (not just diagnosis).
I was deeply saddened in the midst of Covid when I realized that is actually a difficult topic for people to understand. I thought people watched Sesame Street growing up, I thought they could do things like “count” or understand that different kinds of numbers mean measurements of different things.
Nope. Most people are disconnected from anything deeper than the immediate narrative they’re fed. No matter their political affiliation or supposed values, people have just broadly turned off their capacity to reason things out.
I had a full-on mental-health episode when I realized how bad it was. I had people in my own family who complained endlessly about having to wear masks when they went out, and immediately ripped the masks off their faces when they came inside a house or store and only wore it outdoors. I couldn’t get some people to understand what a virus is on the most abstract level.
The lack of basic understanding how biology and other grade-school level understanding of the world works needs to be uncovered. We’re in a crisis. This level of ignorance we’ve allowed to develop will literally ruin the world. It’s already in progress.
Not to mention if you read how people who lived before modern medicine were described, you can guess if they were autistic or add. Not to mention the ones who were very low functioning were a secret kept at home or institutionalized.
The increase in diagnosis doesn’t necessarily mean there’s an anctual increase of cases.
Everyone knows this but they are letting them re-write reality anyway. They did this with Covid, an actual lethal virus that killed over a million Americans. We may never know the actual death-count because of conservative administration efforts to decrease diagnosis numbers. And they were OPEN about this, and we didn’t march on DC then, so I don’t expect it’s going to get much better going forward.

I link this worm infested brain dead twat to a very large piece of shit.
No one ever looks at DuPont or 3M. Major producers of forever chemicals.
Which probably cause a variety of cancers, but not autism. The increased rates are almost entirely the result of better diagnosis criteria.
When JFK’s nephew hears 1 in 36 kids is diagnosed, his mind jumps to someone more disabled than his Aunt Rosemary after Walter Freeman was through with her.
But almost all of the increase in diagnoses is made up of people who have a favorite train livery, want their food to have a specific texture, and get pretty upset about the itchy tag in their shirts.
