@jeffjarvis Let’s establish a counter-registry of “normal people” outlining all of their cognitive dysfunctions and what a serious threat they pose to the continuity of human civilisation. It would not be productive, but it would highlight all the deficiencies in their way of thinking.

re: "Since 1992 ADDM Network Autism Rates Have Risen Dramatically"

Best response I've seen to this selectively constructed idiocy:

"The planet Pluto was 'discovered' in 1930 but I'm pretty sure Pluto existed before then."

Here's what Nazi Musk, Nazi Trump and the rest of this sick Nazi white supremacist science hating sociopathic eugenicist concentration camp loving earth poisoning sadistic medical experimenting administration are desperate to keep you from reading. PUBLIC PROTEST WORKS (the bigger the better) Our job is to reach and engage the masses however we can and to throw sand in the gears at every opportunity.

@jeffjarvis The pessimist in me says that this doesn't mean they won't make the list, just that they'll try to hide it better. Even so, this is a big win.

@jeffjarvis my wife was hopeful that the push back from trump supporters with autistic kids would be enough to kill this idea. Unlike some polarizing topics, it's unlikely that concern about autism can ever be forced to fall along party lines.

@jeffjarvis Just another example of them acting like bullies.
You call them on their bullshit, they back off.

@kkarhan @jeffjarvis Thank you for the source. I am struck by them using ''birth defect'' terminology for autism

@Kulei @kkarhan @jeffjarvis Im convinced that autism is no more a disorder than being left-handed. People with autism as their sole diagnosis fly under the radar of neurotypical individuals all the damn time.
