Re: "No, autism is not caused by Tylenol"

In: s/US-politics

I can't imagine how difficult it must have been growing up for you. I am spending a lot of time with a very aged parent who is now largely deaf and blind, whose dimentia and pre-existant mental illness makes her largely unaware of that.

But yes, the tylenol thing is nuts

When you don't know any different, it just is. I knew it was different but couldn't appreciate in what ways. I think it is also easier being a kid. My parents went through absolute hell but rose to every challenge.

I'm sorry for your parent. I know the difficulties of mental illness and dementia too well but adding blindness and deafness is just painful to hear.

No, autism is not caused by Tylenol โ€” Remember, in April this was promised by September that RFK would find the cause of autism. Like it is one single disease. Well, after months of "research" the cause has been found at long last. Acetaminophen. Now, we are expected to believe a bunch of flunkies accomplished in 5 months what actual researchers couldn't accomplish in decades. Also, when was the last time a medical breakthrough was announced from a White House press conference? Exactly....
