Dinosaurs are not autistic because they didn’t have any acetaminophen #Autistic #autism

EUROPEAN MEDICINES AGENCY: We have “reviewed a large amount of data from pregnant women who used paracetamol during pregnancy .. “.. there is no evidence that would require changes to the current EU recommendations.” @politico.com $KVUE www.politico.eu/article/eu-d...

Good morning #cat #cats #catsofbluesky

This

On this we agree wholeheartedly.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

“It’s my belief that acetaminophen triggered ‘not only continental drift’ but Ice Ball Earth, the evolution of bats nut bearing trees and inspired the invention of ‘fruitcake’” 🤔😂 @geologyjohnson.bsky.social

Sat with Weasels cat whose fast asleep after lunch eaten & I’m wondering what the hell am I going to do now & what is going to happen to us next But exclusion & a lack of health care I need means everyday I pick & turn over a card waiting for the sign an extinction event is near :( #AuDHD

If it talks like a quack If it walks like a quack If it follows like a quack It probably is a quack or maybe a duck or both? eh? #FightTheEmpire #Autism

If you’re neurodivergent or disabled, or love someone who is, it’s ok if you’re hurting right now. It’s ok to be scared & angry. Fascism is terrifying and it’s hard to fight back when the fascists embrace eugenics. Don’t give up hope. There are more of us than them. Unplug, rest & recharge.

Can’t get going today :(

I feel for those poor misled trilobites and rudists & morn for them I believe a geologically scaled batshit crazy distraction yesterday Not one other person it seems in that room had the moral courage to question this? Says a lot Release the Epstein files #AuDHD #Autism

Tylenol caused the end permian extinction.

That egregious batshit crazy distraction I believe will give people false hope by not using pain med & guilt 4 using it I feel lies about healthcare harm & induces unnecessary pain Autistic people are not diseased & faulty but attitudes towards us it seems are Release the Epstein Files #Autism

Tired of seeing autism framed as a crisis or a burden! The crisis? Lack of services Misdiagnosis Systemic bias Autism isn’t the enemy Ableism is & no I will not shut up about it ♾️

That was the worst presidential press conference on public health since the last time Trump did a press conference on public health.

Baby Ralph: “If I could save time in a bottle The first thing that I'd like to do Is to save every day 'Til eternity passes away Just to spend them with you.”

Steve Silberman is so pissed about this Tylenol bullshit that he's screaming from the afterlife he didn't even believe in. Increased rates of autism are due to testing, a broadened definition, and greater awareness. It's not vaccines. It's not Tylenol. It's like his work never happened.

Utter BS I’m autistic and old DX’d with ADHD (which dosen’t exist lol) last year Never had the MMR either until 6 weeks ago #Autism #Autistic

Harmful and distressing I feel for us older autistic people who ‘don’t exist’ also with ADHD which ‘dosen’t exist’ Bunch of 🤡

The announcement on autism was the saddest display of a lack of evidence, rumors, recyling old myths, lousy advice, outright lies and dangerous advice I have ever witnessed by anyone in authority in the world claiming to know anything about science. - founding head of medical ethics at NYU medicine

On the one hand they seemingly want to take medication away from people with ADHD that helps them cos it’s ‘bad’ On the other hand they seem to want to give medication to autistic people cos autism is bad Eh? Make it make sense please #Cognativedissonance #ADHD #Autism

‘Only under 50’s’ Absolutely bollocks Scientific illiteracy I feel #Autism #Autistic

Good Morning #dralex #cats #photography

At the end of each day I think things couldn’t possibly get worse because I’m an optimist. But Trump always proves me wrong. bsky.app/profile/atru...

1/2 🧵YES. Amish communities are impacted by autism. Claims that “the Amish don’t get autism” are false; fact-checks and public-health groups have debunked this repeatedly. Research (though limited) has identified autistic children in Amish populations,

I refuse to be told by a guy who has suggested all neurodivergent Individuals should be institutionalised, and another whose brain was eaten by a worm, that my being autistic is the problem, or a crisis. Autistic individuals aren't the problem, the way we are treated and minimised damn sure is.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Trump will claim that Tylenol is linked to autism. But every expert Julia Musto and I interviewed say this is a gross misreading of the data. via @the-independent.com www.independent.co.uk/news/health/...

If you, like me, are the parent of a neuro-atypical child dreading this autism press conference, please remember: These are the people hurting our kids. Not us. They are the ones stigmatizing and pathologizing them. They are the ones peddling untested science. And we should be very, very angry.

Autism as a stand-alone diagnosis predates acetaminophen by 44 years. If they can't even bother to do basic math, they can't be trusted to do the more complex science.

MHRA confirms taking paracetamol during pregnancy remains safe and there is no evidence it causes autism in children Paracetamol should be taken as directed in the patient information leaflet www.gov.uk/government/n...

‘Ending the autism fever’ say what? 🤡 #Wicked #autism #Autistic #Eugenics

Lies

Horrible horrible crisis of horrible horrible people Bog off #Autism #Autistic

Autism announcement Sex on a Wednesday resulting in pregnancy is the cause And Thursday And Friday Oh and Saturday Sunday Monday and Tuesday This has been a Public service correction announcement #Genetics #Autism #AutisticPeople #ScientificIlliteracy #Heritability

What drug causes ablism? What drug causes greed? What drug causes scientific illiteracy? What drug causes privileged thinking? What drug causes ignorance? What drug combines all 5 together? What drug would cure these faults? let’s research & announce cause in 3 hours #Autism #Autistic #Ignorance

Paracetamol (Tylenol) does not cause autism, and it is a source of great dismay that autism researchers and Autistic advocates still have to spend so much time battling misinformation. Research on causes of autism systematically fails to control for the existence and behaviour of Autistic parents.

On the edge of my seat waiting for science ignoramii to tell us what they’ve “discovered” as the causes of autism spectrum disorder. Nothing they come up with make a dent. The overwhelming contributor to the development of ASD is genetic background.

Q “What causes autistic people?” A “Sex” Thank you for paying attention This has been a public service broadcast #Autism #autisticPerson #Neurodivergence #AutWashing #AutisticPeople

I feel I’ve had excellent expedient service this year for eyes & others like bloods & diagnostic tests Seems some care for my life & QOL But I feel statutory Mental health services don’t seem to give a flying fuck about my life nor QOL nor any harm they have done it seems yet again #AuDHD #Trauma

All the birds in my head seem to have broken wings and lost their song :(

Can’t do this Sigh

I just emptied my lifetime supply of hope for a future and trust in people Noe enjoying a RSD and imposter syndrome field day #AuDHD #Betrayal

Looks like I won’t be getting the MH support I desperately need after waiting 10 months Referred to social prescribers One option here for autistic peoples MH is creative group I run Set up because it seems people couldn’t get appropriate official support I am trapped in a hopeless situation :(

two misters

Tomorrow RFK Jr and Trump plan to announce their “big news” about autism. Nothing they do is rooted in science, disability awareness or common decency. Remember to protect your digital space. Safeguard your spoons. Check on one another. Lean into the community for support

The fear of literalism when someone says ‘you’ll be great knock them dead’ before you go out and do a talk 😳
