RFK Jr said they'd find the cure for autism by October so I'm waiting for what that's going to be.

It's been lost in the weirdness but they also suggested that vaccines should be delayed for children, do they want toddlers exposed to measles?

On past claims by this (the) administration I’d be tempted to take that wish with a very large dose of salt. And codeine.

These are very worrying times. Why anyone would begrudge a pregnant mother pain relief is not just point scoring nor healthy, it is simply barbaric.

As an autistic person this has pissed me off beyond measure.

Why doesn't someone kill that orange fucker and his brain worm addled secretary of health.

excuse my ignorance but I was always of the view that we are all neurodivergent in some way, else we would just be replica robots.

Nothing "causes" autism does it? We are just wired differently? Happy to be educated on here.

It is thought that between 20-25% of people will show some degree of neuro divergent tendancies. But as with everything else there is a sliding scale as to how said neuro divergence impacts the individuals ability to navigate society and life.

I would have thought that if a quarter of people show neurodivergent tendencies as it were, then likely they are in fact fairly typical of the population, does this not make them neurotypical i.e. not different from the the rest of us. I have met very few autistic people over the years ranging from severly disabled to those with genuine relationship/communication difficulties. Few of us would have even heard of autism/aspergers 25 years ago. The MMR vaccine has been around for over 50 years.
