That’s why the Heath secretary is blaming Tylenol AND circumcisions.
They are incredibly stupid but if stupidity stops male genital mutilation it’s a small win
Looking back on medicine’s understanding of mental conditions, where things got lumped into ridiculous categories like “idiocy,” and then treated with lobotomies, it’s extremely easy to imagine that we are far from understanding it all.
Based on a couple responses, I think it is important to remember that science depends upon testing of hypotheses, no matter how “obvious” they may seem. We are not the armchair philosophers of yesteryear.
Now that we’re starting to establish that autism may be a whole series of conditions, (which will still need further validation and hence more studies of the exact same thing) we can start identifying them in order to better understand them.
No shit sherlock.
Autism isn’t one thing, it’s an umbrella term for tons of different degrees and various behaviors that often overlap with and co-minging with other neurological conditions. Oftentimes it’s barely differentiable.
But, but but, what about Tylenol? /s
That’s it, next time i can’t be bothered to make another uncomfortable phone call I’m using the Tylenol™ Defense®
We prefer the term Acetaminophen-Americans.

No. The problem is pathologizing it. And those who self-pathologize themselves over it and use ‘normie’ as an insult.
Sadly people generally have a obsessive need to pathologize and demonize anything different than them.
God, I hate people who do that. There’s something fundamentally wrong with them.

Wait, when did calling someone a normie or normal have to do with autism? Like I understand the link, but I had always it had been about making a distinction between inside and outside of your particular subculture. Like traditionally normies don’t know/care about things people on 4chan know/care about, because they’re outside of the culture. But the distinction could be for any subculture/interest.
autism threads on lemmy are full of autism supremacists. it’s insane.

Which describes a good chunk of lemmy.
Describing perfectly normal human foibles, thoughts and feelings: “Look at me! I’m ADHD and autistic and neurodivergent and that makes me totally special! You wouldn’t understand.”
Motherfuckers need to watch The Breakfast Club. We’re all struggling in our own ways, but under the hood we’re pretty much all the same.
Phew, what a roundhouse kick.
And you’re right, some people do that. But throwing all together is a massive asshole move.
You’re the reason I need to pay to get a diagnosis. So I have proof. Not that it means anything to me because I know.
I just want do give you that reflection. It sucks being in a minority (which, yes, you literally can not understand).
they don’t have the attention span to watch a 90 minute movie.
Me: I got my MMR boosted at 56, I take Tylenol, and I am circumcised. Now I have autism.
Friend: You had autism before.
Me: Oh! Right!
Oh wow, are we realizing the definition of a syndrome all of the sudden.
Too bad fash care about power and violent control, not science.
But the foreskin?
It’s the combo. Tylenol and circumcision.
So women can’t be autistic eh? Good to know.
See, you already sound like most of the medical community!
You can circumcise a woman!
So they aren’t Fae changelings after all?
There are many genes associated with autism, such as SCN2A, ANK2, and SHANK2. Any disruption to the gene expression of these genes can cause autistic traits. There are many diseases that disrupt these genes, and they can even have an effect after brain development.
I frankly find it stupid how every type of autism has converted under ASD without really any distinction apart from support needs I believe, like someone with very mild low support needs autism gets the same benefits as a very high support needs low functioning autist.
Yeah. Massive difference between those who have mild autistic issues an those who are essential disabled from normal life by it.
Yet the former seem to think they are the ones who are ‘truly’ suffering.
And this goes further too due to the ambiguity. Here in Australia we have the NDIS, national disability insurance scheme, which is just that, to help the disabled, but as of recent there has been a sharp increase of cases of autistic children, and most have been on the borderline of not being diagnosed, and they still receive the same assistance, which is putting a huge strain on the NDIS.
Sad, but not surprising. I agree with social and disability payments but I am not naive enough to think they are often abused and exploited. Many people are getting assistance that should not, and many who desperately need it get none.
USA has lots of issues with our school systems with autistic children and parents who want to force them to be a part of the general school population when they should not be, and demand citys/towns give their children tons of extra resources that are already scarce, and they sue the districts which have no budgets/staff for this stuff…
Not if rfk can help it. Only caused by Tylenol drinking jews
