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.
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.
Based on a couple responses, I think it is important to remember that science depends upon testing of hypotheses, no matter how “obvious” they may seem. We are not the armchair philosophers of yesteryear.
Now that we’re starting to establish that autism may be a whole series of conditions, (which will still need further validation and hence more studies of the exact same thing) we can start identifying them in order to better understand them.
Same thing with ADHD. There are at least two distinct subtypes, but likely more.
obviously. society treats neurodivergency as, well, “divergent” when honestly, it could probably just be considered a different normal.
not unlike many other variations in behaviour, am i overthinking this?
No. The problem is pathologizing it. And those who self-pathologize themselves over it and use ‘normie’ as an insult.
Sadly people generally have a obsessive need to pathologize and demonize anything different than them.
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.
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?
That’s only of paracetamol is the analgesic used while chopping
You are. Sorry to be the one to break the news.
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.
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?
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.
Not if rfk can help it. Only caused by Tylenol drinking jews
might be a little early in the history of science and health as phenomenons to make full conclusions
