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
I took Tylenol after my circumscision; how am I not double autistic?
Two autisms cancel each other out because they have opposite polarities. It's basically some science.
So if they re-circumcised their penis then it's back to autism?
The buff doesn’t stack.
You are. Sorry to be the one to break the news.
That's only of paracetamol is the analgesic used while chopping
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.
Idiocy is still a huge problem though.
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®
How many autisms fit in one tylenol? How many vaccines in an autism?
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.
Almost like it's a spectrum. Wild idea, I know.
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!
Same thing with ADHD. There are at least two distinct subtypes, but likely more.
And including CDS in the next DSM would help a lot. We need to identify people with the CDS profile as the things that work for them are (slightly) different from ADHD's.
Too bad fash care about power and violent control, not science.
Oh wow, are we realizing the definition of a syndrome all of the sudden.
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 see a lot of people pointing out how autism is a spectrum disorder, so it would have a bunch of different presentations already.
That's true of course, but spectrum disorders typically have a set of core symptoms, and regardless of your particular presentation you need to experience all or most of them to meet the criteria for an affirmative diagnosis.
For example, My partner and I both have ADHD; the two opposing classic "types", (inattentive and hyperactive). There are a number of symptoms that relate to his type that don't apply to me, and vice versa. We also have different ways we've grown up trying to compensate for our symptoms, so they have different effects on us.
Undeniably though, we both experience all 7 core symptoms.
If scientists are making this claim, they must be saying that their research on ASD suggests they found there to be no definite core symptoms.
It would be crazy dumb otherwise to announce their findings studying a spectrum disorder, if their findings were, "it appears to be a spectrum disorder".😂
So they aren't Fae changelings after all?
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!
Sure, I could listen to scientists about the complex nature of genes and brain development or I could listen to someone else. Someone like RJK Jr, a man whose brain literally has worms in it. Whose boss, Trumpie, whose brain is turning into mush.
Check mate scientists.
Isn't that why we call it a syndrome? I mean, that's something that everyone with a minimum of insight in the matter knows.
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...
might be a little early in the history of science and health as phenomenons to make full conclusions
So I should stop taking Tylenol? Crap! What if I smear Ivermectin all over my face, will that work? Or will it just make me a republican.
Maybe if you smear it on your genitals you can re-grow your foreskin.
Autism is an evolutionary regulation. I am labelled as autistic by the bourgeois psychiatry. Sad thing, it is called a 'disorder'. Now, back to why it is an evolutionary regulation: those who diverge are the ones who prevail when normality suddenly disappears; the non-divergent mindset can't handle it. Even though our own virtues are also our doom, nature keeps giving birth to us.
Not if rfk can help it. Only caused by Tylenol drinking jews
