I’m sure RFK’s explanation will be something insane like fluoride, but in recent years we have found mounting evidence that autism is caused by a genetically-based cellular malfunction that puts cells into deeply impactful danger response mode (CDR). More importantly, the theory behind this has led to an experimental therapy that has demonstrated almost miraculous results in all participants after one treatment. I’m not sure if it’s too late for an autistic dinosaur like me to see any benefits, but the research on this so far seems overwhelming.

“These are kids who will never pay taxes, they’ll never hold a job, they’ll never play baseball, they’ll never write a poem, they’ll never go out on a date. Many of them will never use a toilet unassisted,” Kennedy said. “Autism destroys families.”
Interesting. As an autistic person in their 50s who have done all of those things and have a family of their own, I’d like to say that he seems to be describing wealthy Republicans rather than autistic people.
wow what shitty, dangerous rhetoric to spread
I hope it's electricity. The chaos would be engaging.
Having known my husband for over 10 years now, it's having an inherently higher coolness than the rest of us; the world at large isn't prepared to deal this fact.
inherently higher coolness
Ah, autism is nature self-correcting to fight climate change.
This is exactly how science normally works. "We've figured out something extremely important, but we aren't going to make it available for a month, so we can build up suspense."
And these causes I'm sure will be backed by scientific evidence right? Or are they going to pulled out of rfk maggoty ass?
The cause is RFK jr.
So I've been thinking about this, and I think he's going to come back saying it's mothers breast milk, and not a contaminant in it, but the very nature of itself.
To solve the issue, everyone will need to migrate to using a special infant formula only Nestlé has.
Oh great, another distraction for the voter base.
Ooh, this will be good.
Will this be like "infrastructure week"?
It apparently was already done in July without his help.
But he's probably scrambling to pin the blame in something that isn't tied to big oil / plastic.
