Just goes to show what the Federalist and people who read it think of other people.
They just assume Eugenics of everyone, like they assume criminality and paedophilia of everyone.

I seriously spent too long on whether it should be

autistic crustaceans

or

crustaceans with autism

but then realized it's entirely hypothetical so no crustaceans would be harmed in the making of the toot

However they also say:

R. A. Carlos recently reported on an alarming five-fold increase in the prevalence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) on the island of Guam from 2016 to 2022. He reviewed 95 studies and concluded that the increased trend paralleled the widespread exposure of young children to microplastics.

and the citation given is to the abstract of a conference presentation which ACTUALLY says the author reviewed 95 studies for "neurotoxic effects of microplastics on other species, including fish, mice, mollusks, nematodes, crustaceans and chicken" not to find fricken autistic crustaceans but to find neurotoxicity.

But autism definitely isn't neurotoxicity in general, and probably isn't in any specific way.

So what we're left with is an observation of 5x ASD and plastics exposure on Guam. Is it not likely that whatever societal changes increased plastic use to skyrocket 5x also caused other seismic shifts in behaviour and exposure and - dare I guess - autism testing?

They talk about a huge sudden increase in neurodiversity, but I'm watching a #TOTP from 1979 and in this one episode alone there are *at least* 3 artists we now know have #ADHD, #autism, etc, we just didn't know it at the time.

Shit. Just had a couple of paracetamol and now I'm worried I've inadvertently given myself *double #autism*.
I'd better keep a close eye on my problem-solving skills, my creative & analytical skills, my consistency, honesty & sense of justice. If they improve I've *definitely* got the Big Double A.

If you think #paracetamol causes #autism then you’re a waste of oxygen and skin.

"A few months ago, it was reasonable to wonder whether Trump might see Kennedy’s crank-science crusade as a political liability and cut him loose, à la Elon Musk. Yesterday felt like the death knell for that theory. Trump’s all in on this stuff; his gaga gut instincts perfectly paired to Kennedy’s deep conspiracism."

Look, we all know the real reason #Autistics exist and why #Autism rates are increasing.

It's not vaccines or paracetamol...

It's cos we be fucking 😈

Stop taking scientific and medical advice from people who think women are inferior to men, blacks are inferior to whites, queers are inferior to straights, foreigners are inferior to natives and trans are inferior to cis challenge.
