Trump on autism

[BeHappySloth]

Sorry if there is another thread - I did look.

I mean, wtf??!!

It's been shown there's a correlation.

It's also been shown there's a correlation between ice cream sales and higher crime stats.

Correlation ≠ Causation.

The guy is a total loon!

My ‘take’ is that he’s trying to distract folk from other news; eg Epstein files etc!

They both needed to be better. Surely that's obvious?

Nope.
This is clearly 'who' Americans are. They knew what they were getting and they knew what he would do and they wanted it.
There was a perfectly good candidate who could never have caused this much damage no matter how hard she tried, or didn't. Looking at the US now, and the fact that he has absolute power, you know they were never going to pick a woman, let alone a black one.
Don't try and shift blame. This is on those who decided this petty, racist, misogynistic dictator represented them best.

Could well be.

He is terrifyingly dangerous.

Well said.

Tylenol is just the most well known brand - it’s a bit like how we use ‘calpol’ as a generic word for children’s paracetamol when we might use boots own brand or how the the Americans ask for a ‘Kleenex’ instead of a tissue
not that I’m in anyway defending the orange buffoon - I strongly suspect that he either can’t read it or pronounce it or probably both

Paracetamol must be the most studied drug in pregnant women, if there wad a connection it would have been found years ago, surely.

What confuses me is Trump and Kennedy are old enough to remember the awfulness of illnesses before regular childhood vaccinations. Why would they be against things we know have had such a positive effect on society.

What are they going to stop women from doing next?

Just wondering if Elon’s mother took paracetamol in pregnancy? Can we blame his ketamine habit on his mother too? Maybe Trump can enlighten us …

This bollocks has been thoroughly debunked on Newsnight tonight. Not least by the former Director of Disease Control in the U S, who recently resigned because, basically, the fruitcake that is Kennedy Jr. is batshit.

Thank goodness for people like him who have morals and guts.

The fact that 12% of people at this point have disagreed with the OP show that MN has been infiltrated by whoever is spreading this populist bullshit.
Anyone with any sort of intellect would dismiss this as the absolutely rubbish it is.

My son is autistic (diagnosed aged 14). My husband is autistic (diagnosed aged 47). His father has many autistic traits as did his grandfather. Neither were diagnosed just labelled as eccentric and geeky. Because people weren't recognised as ND, they were just bullied and treated as outsiders.

Fuck Trump and fuck anyone stupid enough to believe his stupidness.

I couldn’t listen to it on the news, I had to turn it off. Leave autistic people the fuck alone. It’s the way people pearl clutch at it, like it’s the worst thing that could happen. There are many other worse outcomes, Don. Just take a look in the mirror.

And all the pregnant women living with pain who are going to be under pressure not to have paracetamol. Fuckers.

Yeah, I think Tylenol is a bit like Hoover, it's just become the name.

His quote about Trump “the scientific process is not something that he values. I would say show us the work, show us the data, show us the documentation. There is none.”

I'm assuming they haven't done any new studies? They are just basing it on existing research that is available to the experts globally who have drawn very different conclusions?

Same… I was told ibroprofen was bad when your pregnant and paracetamol did nothing so I just dealt with any pain. DS 17 who has autism was listening to trump earlier and as laughing that he actually said this.

It's not just the pain, although that is bad enough, it's the danger of uncontrolled fever too.

Before too long, he will either be dead or in prison. 🙏🤞

Because they’re batshit.

I very much doubt that Trump is drawing on anything other than the lunatic opinions of Kennedy, Jr.

i had a chest infection when pregnant and took antibiotics and paracetamol. I feel terrible taking them at the time and even now I wonder if my son’s troubles are my fault.

@Bruisername kindly, why would it be your fault? Those are both safe medications to take when pregnant and millions of women do!

Came across the live on TT and watched thinking oh this is interesting, then promptly went to my husband and watched in utter disbelief at the complete tripe that was being peddled

My DD has Autism, as does my husband, as does (I suspect) his mother. It has fuck all to do with Paracetamol…

This, coming from the man who told the world to inject disinfectant to cure Covid….
