Failed to avoid the US news this evening, and ended up down a rabbit-hole reading about Tr*mp's nomination of the anti-vaccine weirdo RFK as Health Secretary. Not very many links away I found myself reading about Mark Geier and his son, who in the early/mid 00s promoted the use of Lupron to 'treat' autistic children by reducing their testosterone levels, along wuth the bollocks that was 'chelation'. This was rightly regarded as a load of dangerous and damaging nonsense, driven by disablist thinking, and was thoroughly discredited.
Now trying to work out how Lupron got reinstated to 'treat' the 'unwanted puberty' of gender non-conforming and in many cases autistic children a few years later and suddenly it's a great thing. I haven't forgotten Mermaids mentioning that transition could remove symptoms of autism.
