A_norny_mousseNote how his PR people hammered his brain not to actually say “cure for autism”. Seems to have worked this time, but hey, still a lot of time to fuck this one up, Donny.
perishthethought“An answer…”, not “a cure”. 😒
halvara finaly solution if you will
…if ‘they’ will…
LucidlethargyI laughed, and then I paused… And now I’m actually very concerned…
I’m pretty sure this is going to be blaming autism on vaccines, though.
I don’t feel much better knowing this…
Probably acetaminophen (paracetamol) actually, they think vaccines are already a known cause
DiplomjodlerLet me guess: it’s banning vaccines.
lime!surprise! it’s actually banning tylenol
BakkodaShort Mallinckrodt stocks.
It’s okay, acetaminophen isn’t included. This is not a joke.
huh? it absolutely is
augh but it’s the only pain reliever I’m allowed to take!
News just in: not feeling pain is now illegal.
Nah, it’s banning autism. Lock 'em up!
edgemaster72No. He’s going to enslave them all as farm laborers because we don’t have anyone left in the US to pick the crops.
banning acetomeniphen, aka brand name tyelenol, and paracetomol in the EU and AUS.
bizarrolandAnd that answer is super autism.
abbiistabbiiOk. Now I’m very worried.
ZorsithI fucking hate how much this administration justifies my paranoia…
That’s the idea: make being diagnosed dangerous to discourage people from getting diagnosed, and then say you fixed the issue when the numbers come in.
It worked when they stopped testing for covid. Confirmed cases went down overnight!
NaichOne study has shown a link between tylenol, others have not. But even if there is a link, there is no causality shown, so it might be the case that having a fever plays a part, so statistics might show a link with tylenol but it would be more beneficial to take it than not. I don’t imagine orange idiot has the mental capacity for this sort of complex reasoning.
Yeap, one small scale meta data analysis isn’t going to be able to prove causality. Plus, the analysis was done by a researcher who’s been actively participating in a lawsuit against the makers of Tylenol.
The problem with using meta data analysis is they struggle with causation vs correlation. As you suggested, it could have to do with fevers. Or it could simply be that mothers who have high quality access to gynecological services and prenatal care good enough to study umbilical samples also have greater access to diagnose their children with autism later in life.
Large scale metadata analysis can provide us with information we can use to hone in on what to study in greater depth. Small scale metadata analysis imo aren’t’ very useful in any meaningful way, and are more often than not used to subjectively validate claims to the scientifically illiterate majority.
podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/…/id1051557000?i=10… science vs just did an episode on it. It was quite informative
If anything, given tylenol is commonly used for headaches, the causation might just be in reverse…
Good thing I only use acetaminophen.
You should consider switching to paracetamol. It’s made with fewer chemicals.
Not to ruin the party, but they’re both made with the exact same number of chemicals, coincidentally.
This post is about autism, you can expect some subtleties to be missed XD
Norah (pup/it/she)Paracetamol and acetaminophen are the exact same drug.
Paracetamol, or acetaminophen, is a non-opioid analgesic and antipyretic agent used to treat fever and mild to moderate pain. It is a widely available over-the-counter drug sold under various brand names, including Tylenol and Panadol.
Better for these morons to ban Tylenol, which has plenty of alternatives, than vaccines.
BoxOfFeetWhat is a good alternative for someone who can’t take NSAIDs?
Corticosteroids, but they’re prescription in most places I think. Or opiods, but they’re of course way overkill for typical tylenol situations.
Yeah, those aren’t really viable options.man, ive been on steroids so much, my doctor has been doing bone density scans.
That’s really a question for your doctor, but there are other types of pain relievers than NSAIDs or acetaminophen.
Any other brand of acetaminophen. If we’re lucky, they’ll botch the policy again and many brands will be left out or there will be a paracetamol loophole. I’m not even sure they believe what they’re saying or have any intent to actually do this at all. It could just be another scam to manipulate another large corporation into doing their bidding.
You will NEVER take away my love of trains mother fucker!
Thing is, I’m fairly certain kirk was fairly heavily on the spectrum. High functioning, bigoted, racist, misogynist, white supremacist, religious fundamentalist and all that, but he had a few autistic cues.
Turns out the cure for autism is lead? I thought it was for fascism
I think we found a cure to autism
Yay, so all those scientists who’ve been working diligently on this for decades we’re all wrong, president Cheeto fixed this within a month!
Of course this is absolutely true, he also ended those seven wars in that time, I mean the guy is a friggin genius!
Yay, genocide! Probably…
Too pricey. I anticipate another promotional snake oil sale in our future.
If you charge them for their euthanizations, you could do the genocide and still turn a profit!
Get off Lemmy, Nancy Mace! You’re supposed to be working!
There was this satire article about how scientists cured empathy, with something about world energy problems being solved by burning orphans alive for fuel, etc. I can’t find it anymore, thanks to the data purges, and deletion of human history going on.

What I do not get is, what is wrong with autism and why do they want to ‘cure’ it? Everyone is different. It shouldn’t be a big deal.
Because fascism requires conformity. Cant have any free thinkers questioning the status quo.
I’m looking forward to the start of the eugenics program, it’s all very Aryan of them.
Non-verbal, debilitating autism is extremely difficult. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone. It’s like asking what’s wrong with schizophrenia and “why do they want to ‘cure’ it”?
Autism is a spectrum (for now; it’s the best terminology we have at the moment), and at one end you have severe debility. I don’t think a “cure” is possible in the way we think, but better treatment options would be life-saving
I’m some form of neurodivergent myself and have traits that overlap with autism. Someone I love is non-verbal and currently going through the straights with their disability. I see ways in which we share symptoms, but I also see a huge divide between us, in the severity of them
I would give anything to get the best help for my loved one, because they’ll never be able to have any independence without 24hr care. And that’s what we’re working towards. But if there was some “cure” that would allow them to communicate more… I can’t even describe what a miracle that would be for so many people. It’s a hard thing to see someone go through sometimes, and it can actually be a very big deal
zarkanianNon-verbal, debilitating autism is extremely difficult. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone. It’s like asking what’s wrong with schizophrenia and “why do they want to ‘cure’ it”?
Sure, but there are also types of autism that are nothing like that. A lot of those people like their brain the way it is, and they wouldn’t take a cure if there was one. I don’t think you can say the same for schizophrenia.
Someone I love is non-verbal and currently going through the straights with their disability.
I assume you meant “straits”. Unless they’re being hassled by a bunch of heterosexuals.
Many people would gladly “cure” their “spiciness”. Maybe keep the good parts or be able to trigger them at will though.
Many would not, too. That’s my point. I know plenty of autistic people who don’t view it as a sickness or disability, just a neurodivergence.
UnderpantsWeevilwhat is wrong with autism
People are marginally more susceptible to distraction from bright lights and loud noises. For young children, this can be upsetting enough to interfere with their education and behavior. And that’s frustrating and terrifying to parents, as they see failures in both as signs of a very difficult adulthood.
So, in the quest to solve this inconvenience, we’re going to open up the infernal gate to Nurgel’s Lair.
58008Wait, we’re already at the Aktion T4 stage of the MAGAcaust?
FredselfishHe said he had an answer for autism, he doesn’t mean a cure. Stay safe any day now he going have RJK announce that he will be rounding them up, and also stop testing for it. A a Trump favorite.
