Study linking poor clearance of BPA with Autism and ADHD. They are not claiming that this is a cause, though there is some speculation in this article.

“The research found that kids with ASD and ADHD couldn't clear out BPA and another similar compound called Diethylhexyl Phthalate (DEHP) with as much efficiency as other kids, potentially leading to longer exposure to their toxic effects.”

Wow!😳 Texas teacher fired after assigning an illustrated Anne Frank book

Censoring one of the most important works documenting the Holocaust and punishing the teacher who dared teach it is pretty much in line with what fascists do. Horrific antisemitism.

@QasimRashid Nazis will never grant you social license to call them what they are, but they're still Nazis.

  1. If does rhyme with Public Health history? Its acceptance will likely take decades.

But we have facts!

So did John Snow.

Data!

Semmelweis had data too.

The internet!

Ya got me there. How you using it?

To convince the other neurotypes, with facts, and data!

Ah. Because that's what would work with you, right?

Yes!

With them, being too early with the truth is the same as being wrong.

Too EARLY!? WHY can't they think more like us?!

Now you sound just like them.

@ebk I definitely think the COVID aware are overwhelmingly neurodivergent, but I don't think it's restricted to autism, specifically. Myself and many others on here have ADHD but not autism. I've also noticed there is a high proportion of other marginalized groups and I think that makes sense, since marginalized people are keenly aware that governments are dishonest and that nobody is coming to save them. Otherwise, I totally agree with you.

@ebk One thing I've noticed from being on Mastodon is how much I have in common with people with autism. I wouldn't be at all surprised if you're right about all of the above.

@ebk There are certain things in the current autism diagnostic criteria that definitely don't apply to me. Specifically routine is anathema for me and I don't have any issues with recognizing unspoken social cues (though I still really struggle to make and maintain friendships), but I think the similarities between the lived experience of people with autism and people with ADHD are probably not a coincidence... Neurotypicals probably shouldn't be in charge of diagnosing and treating us...

@joshsusser @actuallyautistic ADHD rather than autistic (so I didn't vote), but I'm still finding it really hard to continue to play pretend normal with all the neurotypicals at my work. I'm switching to carpentry with my dad in the fall. No other crew and, once that project is done, I can still do my job as a carpenter with very little interaction with others and with some podcasts/audiobooks playing in my ears. I'm lucky because I don't know what the hell I'd be doing otherwise.
