Tylenol maker Kenvue denies the connection allegedly made in the report, which is expected to be published by the Department of Health and Human Services this month.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Why are these people so desperate to find some external factor for autism?

#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

Because they can’t cope with random chance, there has to be a cause. They need a villain.
They don’t wanna blame god.

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.

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.
