As an autistic, with an autistic wife and child, wouldn't it be fascinating if they were right! Paracetamol changing brains would be big news.

But they are just scapegoating and now they are going to punish women with autistic children for poisoning their children in utero.

As per WanderingThoughts@europe.pub

Want to reduce autism? Reduce pollution. But this is the guy that's dismantling all environmental regulations.

Exposure to fine particulate air pollution (PM2.5) has been linked with significantly increased risk of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in children, particularly if exposure occurs during the third trimester of pregnancy or during early childhood, according to a meta-analysis from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

The study was published April 29, 2021, in Environmental Research Letters.

The authors noted that there has been a steep rise in the prevalence of childhood diagnosis of ASD over the past several years, from 6.7 per 1,000 people in 2000 to 16.8 per 1,000 people in 2014. Possible risk factors include those related to family, such as genetics or parental age, or the environment. Previous studies have found an association between exposure to ambient particulate matter (PM) and neurobehavioral dysfunction, but they’ve been inconclusive regarding the link between PM exposure and the development of ASD.

That sounds like a lot of work, and making air clean is hard. You know whats not hard? Blaming minorities. No more minorities, no more Autism. In fact getting rid of them will CURE autism! Because we will change how its diagnosed so it changes your skin colour. If you arent blue, its not autism, its vitamin C difficiency. The C being Church.
