THIS IS A JOKE, just like a certain administration

Using the same level of medical knowledge and science as recent claims about the cause of autism, it's been determined the true cause is….

Marvel!

The more Marvel movies there are, the more autism there is = Marvel has caused autism

(Please note this is tongue in cheek, not medical advice, I love Marvel and their amazing movies are not to blame for anything, certainly didn't cause my or anyone else's autism [still not medical advice!!] and like LOL what are the US on????)

Forgetting the science though, seriously, I felt so angry watching the announcement!!!!!!!

And the sweet autistic kid they made stand there while they all talked about how awful ASD was 🤬

    I've been using that image far too much, any time I want to share anything about my hobbies on FB. 😆

    It'll also be my podcasts title.

    Thank goodness for a sense of humour. I don't know how I'd survive in this world without it, because right now it feels like autistic people are living rent free (to quote Sadiq) in a certain head…

    It's a busy place within that certain head. It's full of black, brown, gay, trans, disabled, neurodiverse, left-leaning folks, women who haven't had heaps of "enhancements", women who don't look like his enhanced daughter, and anyone with functioning brain cells.

    I suspect I'll need to have to physically elbow my way to the bar! 😃

    He is deploying the mother of all 'dead cats', in order to take his bromance with Mr Epstein off the news.

    I'm reading this book which is quite In tense reading for me, called nureotribes about history of autism , and how a scientist was showing signs of autism in the 18th century, also the studies before war times . All this before paracetamol was made.

    Trump and his grotesques didn't imply paracetamol was the sole cause of autism, only a contributing factor ( still flying in the face of medical science).

    I didn't read this thread for a few days, as only the title was visible to me. Today I saw who wrote it so decided it was worth a read!! 😊

    This is a perfect example of correlation is not causation

    "Using the same level of medical knowledge and science as recent claims about the cause of autism"

    You could use this level of science combined with "correlation = causation" to form a conclusive link that paracetamol prevents autism…

    Some children are more extroverted growing up

    These children will play out with friends / take part in sport

    More injuries will occur / more minor bugs caught

    More paracetamol given over their life

    These extroverted children are less likely to be diagnosed with autism

    Paracetamol prevents autism

    😃

    I know what you mean!! ❤️

    Even worse because really they're just using us as a distraction technique

    sounds like an interesting read!! I'm going to see if I can source a copy x

    This was my point exactly! It's been scary seeing how many people have fallen for it and worrying how that might impact pregnant people and babies from getting care they need 😕
