Correlation, not causation…between Autism and Tylenol. People with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are significantly more likely to experience migraines and headaches than the general population.1/

Our tax dollars are paying for this, meanwhile they'll tell us there isn't the budget to keep our healthcare cost from going through the roof.

DayQuil, shot of Amaretto, and Sudafed D every 12 hours usually does the trick.

No, I’m commenting on 2 threads at one time. Here’s the research on the genes we know cause ADHD. www.genome.gov/27538023/201...

I'm sorry... I'm still trying to process this. Why? Did they pay Trump directly? How is this legal? Are the rednecks in Idaho OK with Arabs soldiers as neighbors? Did we sell out the Europeans & Canadians for this?

I have so many questions...
WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING?

Is this the thing to make trump supporters finally get mad at him. Kendall @kendallyb.bsky.social thinks so. Here's her take on trump allowing Qatar to build a air force facility on American soil in Idaho

In all honesty, this is brilliant. The costumes protects a little from the pepper bullets hurting, if you use a filtered respirator, it can protect from being gassed, and if ICE is seen beating an inflatable friendly frog, 🐸 it makes them look extra bad.

The ANTIFA in Portland looks dangerous. LOL

That is not the norm these days. Even when my daughter’s family physician suspected she had ADHD, she was sent to a neuropsychologist for testing. Most insurance requires at least a psychiatrist to do the testing and school’s too.

Tess Montgomery @tmi654.bsky.social · 13h

That was my experience too. And expensive af. $2,000 out of pocket for each of our testing (mine, and both of my kids). You can’t get medicine for ADHD without a proper diagnosis, so I doubt people are over diagnosed. I think it’s still likely they’re under diagnosed due to the barriers for testing.

Tess Montgomery @tmi654.bsky.social · 13h

I went through 2 days of 8 hour testing each day by a neuropsychologist. I was tested for ADHD, ASD, and as well as a few other issues. I was diagnosed with ADHD, ASD, OCD, and a reading disability at 45. I disagree. I think people are still under diagnosed.

Tess Montgomery @tmi654.bsky.social · 13h

Anyone who believes autism is new…if you give me your grandparents name, DOB, and where they lived, I bet I can find people in YOUR family who likely had autism. The U.S. Census data is a great dive in finding people who likely had autism.

Tess Montgomery @tmi654.bsky.social · 13h

Nope. We know exactly what genes cause it (at least some of them, there are still some that haven’t been identified yet). pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC....

Tess Montgomery @tmi654.bsky.social · 13h

I’d go even further. Give me the name of your grandparents, DOB and where they lived and I can go through the U.S. census data and show you who in YOUR family likely had autism.

Tess Montgomery @tmi654.bsky.social · 13h

Here’s just a few genes that have been identified as linked to autism. And here’s the study so you can read it yourself: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC....

Tess Montgomery @tmi654.bsky.social · 13h

Yes, I knew a lot. My great aunt, 2 of my uncles, my mom…and when I did my family tree and census data I could see all of the adults who lived with a relative until they passed and never had a job…likely autistic. Have you ever studied any census data? There are LOTS of signs.

Tess Montgomery @tmi654.bsky.social · 16h

This is BS and not scientific evidence. My sister who is full on crunchy all organic, no plastics, all homemade food, nursed all of her kids…has 2 of her 3 kids on the spectrum…you know why? Because SHE’s on the spectrum. It’s inherited. We even know some of the genes now.

This!!! The pandemic was what made me realize it. My son being tested was and suggestion by his examiner that I be tested was what made me finally be tested myself.
