   I just have to say it:

   If taking paracetamol (tylenol) while pregnant caused autism, the vast majority of us would be autistic.

   I am so deeply tired of this shit. Bone tired of the blatant lack of logical thought predominating American culture right now.

     @blenderdumbass @Remittancegirl The brain is elastic through life - although the elasticity may reduce - but that doesn't happen as early as 18.
     
     I'm not autistic and I do not tolerate proprietary degeneracy like advertising, even though I can handle it.

     @Remittancegirl It is not an American issue. The idiocracy is happening everywhere. And I blame the kids. We waste their time when they can learn on mindless entertainment. And when their brain isn't plastic anymore ( at 18 ) only then we expose them to the serious issues in the world. And then wondering why is everybody so stupid.

     @Remittancegirl If Autism is such an endemic or pabdemic or whatever, why are my senses still assalted in every single public building I enter?
     If there were so many of us, capitalists would have cashed in on that by advertising their stores as sensory safe.
     Vacuumes designed to be quieter, instead of all of them tricking NTs in to thinking they're more powerful would be availble at a big mark up.
     That there is enough to debunk this bullshit.

     @Remittancegirl I saught a diagnosis cause I couldn't work anymore. Now I'm scared they're going to put me in a camp.

     And the ‘science’ has become so profoundly ideologised, that I have to resort to anecdotal evidence.

     And that’s not a great place to be. But it seems to me that the rise in the incidence of autism is far more likely to be a growth in the diagnosis of autism. Alongside a staggering intolerance for difference.

     While I absolutely understand why many autistic people are relieved to get a diagnosis, a far better solution would be for society as a whole to learn to accommodate neurodiversity.
