If autism is so great why haven’t they announced autism 2 yet?

It’s been needing a refresh. Can’t wait for Autism 2.0 + DLC

Pondis@lemmy.world 8 hours ago
It’s not really DLC, no one would buy it, it’s more like a forced software update you can’t decline.

Hopefully it means more trains. The train autists seem to be less numerous than they once were
Arcanepotato@crazypeople.online 2 hours ago
My view is that the train autists are laying in wait to be unleashed when the rizz autists convince someone to fund the trains.

This is an absolutely shocking announcement for me. I did not know these two were autistic. I suspected it, but I didn’t know.

They’re way too fucking stupid to be autistic.

If MAGA is going to insist that late-night comedy hosts be 100% factually accurate, then I think the least the next Democratic government should do is require partisan propaganda to be labeled as such.
This goes for both sides. MSNBC, NewsMax, HuffPost, Fox News, all need disclaimers for opinion and partisan content.

Actually, the left should demand equal time on Mark Levine, Glenn Beck, and all the other right wing talk shows. Tit for tat.

The whole acetaminophen is bad thing isn't a new one. It's part of a crack pot theory of oxidative stress and autism. The only problem is that oxidative stress is one of those very broad terms. The air you breathe can cause oxidative stress because of various types of pollution. Eating bacon can cause oxidative stress. Particular fertilizers used to grow a wide variety of plants can cause oxidative stress. Literally not getting enough sleep can cause oxidative stress.
It's a really broad terms for random free radicals of oxygen in the body, which strip electrons, etc, etc, etc... It's also what brings about antioxidants. Chemicals that take the oxidative "blow" for your cells. And this is all sound science, but everyone experiences oxidative stress and not everyone is autistic, contrary to what apparently RFK believes by trying to pander this bullshit.
Also, just right out the gate. The whole thing doesn't make sense for how it's supposed to work when we have fraternal twins who one is autistic and the other isn't. Which gets into the whole "likely a genetic thing" seeing how identical twins where one is autistic, the other usually is as well. And the difference in rates between fraternal twins and identical twins suggests a strong genetic link rather than environmental. But that doesn't rule out environment.
But the thing is what RFK is pandering isn't new. There's been a ton of studies that associate oxidative stress to autism. But as the saying goes, association isn't causation.
Also at the other end is their recommendation of folinic acid. Which, I can't, it's just Vitamin B bullshit stuff. The various B Complex is important in development for a child. This is why folic acid is given out to pregnant mothers. But there's no evidence to support that any formulation of Vitamin B prevents, slows, reverses, or cures autism. I just don't understand that segment of medicine where they've gone deep end with Vitamin B. It's important, don't get me wrong, but eating quintuple dosing of it isn't "curing" cancer so much as causing irreversible liver damage and possibly sending you into a seizure.
It's whatever. Any form of legitimacy in the HHS disappeared with RFK. I think people are going to look at this as "oh yeah confirms my life long held bias" or "RFK is nut job." But as for moving the needle, this isn't going to move anything. Most doctors will not care that HHS made this announcement and will continue to act as if it didn't exist. Because there's a mountain of evidence that this is just crackpot theory shit.

Trump’s only interested because he thinks it’s about gold.

I find it hard to believe that Trump knows that other word for gold.

Hehe, at least there’s some good news for my students in my interventions class-- a new option for their open ended write up assignment just dropped.
It’s a good teachable moment for psych students wanting to better understand just why RFK Jr is so full of shit, without it even being framed in a partisan thing; literally we teach correlation isn’t causation, as well as the current literature on autism (genetic predispositions, etc).
Any chance to teach critical thinking to young people is a good thing.

I’m so proud that they are coming out. So brave of them to embrace the autists they are.

They’re evil, not autistic. Don’t give actual autistic people a bad name.

Even those autism outdates Tylenol. So Tylenol makers are time travelers.

Findings In this population-based study, models without sibling controls identified marginally increased risks of autism and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) associated with acetaminophen use during pregnancy. However, analyses of matched full sibling pairs found no evidence of increased risk of autism (hazard ratio, 0.98), ADHD (hazard ratio, 0.98), or intellectual disability (hazard ratio, 1.01) associated with acetaminophen use.

It’s hilarious watching a specific stock (in this example, Kenvue) tank when these idiots open their mouths only to recover once the foreign market opens. It’s blatant stock manipulation 100%.
