You can look all day for environmental reasons to “blame” for autism but I have never met an autistic kid who didn’t have at least one autistic parent or parents w traits
Not knowing you’re autistic doesn’t make you less autistic; thinking it’s “bad” makes you less likely to want to know it

Guys I have terrible news - this post has gone viral on Facebook, promoting hundreds of rage-filled comments from people who have taken it very seriously indeed. And, most annoyingly, the Autism Parents have found it!!
Mary Walker, 9, who has always displayed autistic traits, was miraculously fixed by her parents insisting that she stop it at once.

Toinen Hesarin juttu olikin sitten huomattavasti synkempää settiä, ja surullinen tarina, miten usein käy kun autismiin suhtaudutaan siten, kuten valtaväestö siihen mieluiten suhtautuisi: demonisoimalla ja kehystämällä se yksilön viallisuudeksi.

If you're trying to convince your friends to spend time on Bluesky rather than X, maybe show them this. X is not "the public town square" or about "free speech." It's "just what Elon Musk wants you to see." If you see stuff he doesn't like he'll step in to make sure you don't see it for long.
If you scroll on X, you are only being shown what Elon wants you to see. If you create content on X, no one will see it unless Elon wants them to.

What are "autism grievance parents"? Those who claim to represent a wider underserved autism community—while working against the interests of autistic people & families who lack grievance parents’ class advantages, or have trouble accessing public benefits:

What I’ve been trying to point out for years now is that there is a money maker behind this sentiment, invested in it staying set this way. You can’t have billion dollar industry forcing autistic children to mask without scaring everyone about autism first
I think my biggest problem with the "vaccines cause autism" bullshit is that, even assuming they did (they don't, actually), neurodiversity is...good?
"Oh no, instead of polio and measles, people are cool and have new and different ways of thinking about things" is, uh, a really weird flex

X rolled out a new feature overnight showing where accounts are based. This network of “Trump-supporting independent women” that claimed to be “real Americans” are based in Thailand.
The photos were stolen from European models & posts pushed pro-Trump lines while targeting Islam and LGBTQ people.

Dozens of major accounts masquerading as “America First” or “MAGA” proponents originate in places such as Russia, India & Nigeria
In one example, the account MAGANationX—with nearly 400,000 followers & bio reading “Patriot Voice for We The People”—is based in Eastern Europe

Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.
My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

True story. Before ADHD meds, to fake highly-functioning, I smoked two packs a day and chased them down with a daily 12-pack of Diet Coke *and* 12 cups of coffee (or 12 espressos in to-go lattes). Every day. My whole adult life. Now I often forget to even finish my first coffee after I pour it.
I guess I can drink twelve coffees a day while chain smoking if you want me to do this in a socially acceptable manner, I just don't see how that's better for my physical or mental health than Vyvanse, y'know?
