If they had actually discovered a cause of autism, or even substantially advanced research in that area they would have announced it right away, rather than engaging in this hype cycle bs like they are trying to defraud a venture capitalist.
More to the point, we already know the cause of autism; genetics. This isn’t new, it’s not some shocking discovery, it’s been known about for ages. Most of the research at this point is focused on the interconnections between autism, ADHD, dyslexia and dysphraxia, which all show a high propensity for genetic clustering; basically if one person in a family has one of them, the odds of the others being present in the same or other members shoots up massively. That’s really interesting and suggests they might all just be different manifestations of the same underlying genetic condition.
The whole notion that autism has a “cause” is just anti-vaxxer nonsense concocted by a fraud doctor (that’s not an accusation, it’s a fact; he was stripped of his medical license after it was shown that his “research” was a sham, and that he literally tortured innocent children to concoct his fake results) feeding on the insecurities of parents who want someone to blame for their child being different rather than just accepting that sometimes that’s just how people do be.
Hey hey, it is still possible that there are environmental factors that make the genetic causes more or less likely to result in full autism. Kennedy certainly hasn’t found any of those though.
It’s so obvious just looking at my family. We’re successful because of the neurodivergence more than anything.
But I always have to remind people, there is a darker reason behind the conservative outcry against autism though. We do not respect authority on the basis of authority alone. There has to be a valid reason. Holding a gun to my head probably won’t make me do what you demand, and if it does, you’ll shoot me anyway because I’ll be slow and complain the whole time vowing to take the steps to make you as miserable as you are making me.
For whatever reason, they cannot comprehend it. They lobotomized people over it. They executed people over it. They sterilized, they institutionalized. Everything for us has to have an answer to “why.” And it deeply offends them.
In a weird way autism may have partly spared me from a lot of mental trauma and issues. Growing up I went through a lot of things that tends to people having a lot of self doubt, anxiety, people pleasing tendencies, etc. I knew from a very young age though (maybe not as concretely as I do now) that what was happening to me wasn’t my fault. Like sure I knew I was a kid and that certain things about me were difficult, but it was very clear to me when the things adults did made no sense or were hypocritical. That’s not to say I didn’t end up with other issues like poor social skills, but that still seems a lot better than the previously mentioned options.
Also, I’m still wanting to know when I get all the taxes I paid back since we apparently aren’t ever supposed to be paying taxes.

Ain’t that the fucking truth.

It sure as fuck is, The Truth!
