This is because in 2013 the *definition* of autism was expanded to include Asperger's, CDD, PDD-NOS, and the Autistic Disorder.
Numbers went up because the definition changed to include more variants. And testing and awareness of Autism just got better over time. This is insane.
Let's be clear: no one should be taking medical advice from the man who told Americans to inject bleach.
To moms worried about the Tylenol they took while pregnant: you deserve better than being RFK Jr's scapegoat.
And to the autism community: you are loved exactly as you are.
Aspirin can be lethal to babies and young children.
There’s a reason they’re giving them Tylenol.
I worry that the more Trump says “don’t give your babies Tylenol!” The more we’re going to see babies succumbing to Reye’s Syndrome & other aspirin related complications.
This should not be treated lightly.
The GOP are buying up platforms to control the news and information you receive.
They are censoring you in real time.
Fun child psychiatry fact!
If we analyze a group of 40-year-old adults with the same diagnostic criteria & screening as we use currently on children, we get virtually identical rates of autism.
"Exploding rates of autism" likely a reflection of our exploding understanding.
Disney adults with walls full of mouse ears canceled their subscriptions. They canceled their Disney cruises. One cancelled a $150,000 Disney wedding.
All Disney cares about is shareholder value, so hit them where it hurts, it WORKS.

@BGatesIsaPyscho Yeah Mencken already knows what the answer will be from wormbrain and diaper don:
"For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong"
@BGatesIsaPyscho 1) Claim you found a miracle solution for something, when no expert working on the topic said anything about it.
2) Present some magic powder solution
3) Change the way to count autism in the population, fire people in charge of the counting
4) Present nice numbers you like.
RFK Jr is set to announce Tylenol causes autism.
And then he’ll push the “cure”: leucovorin (folinic acid).
Who sells folinic acid? Dr. Oz’s supplement company, iHerb.
The same Dr. Oz who is now the Administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) in Trump’s administration.
Think about that: A government health official tied to the very supplement company that benefits from RFK Jr’s bogus “cure.”
This isn’t public health.
It’s corruption dressed up as wellness.
A research team from València has developed an innovative biosensor capable of detecting airborne viruses in real time and at low cost, without the need for chemical markers or laboratory procedures.
This sort of technology could be a total game-changer!

In the war on cancer, Trump and Republicans have gutted billions of dollars for cancer research, a devastating decision that will set treatment back by decades and result in millions of lives lost. All in the name of “eliminating waste.”
Shameful.
Trump is unbelievably ignorant!
Babies are at significant risk of contracting Hepatitis B during delivery if their mother is infected. Fortunately, when vaccinated within 12 hours of birth, the vaccine is up to 95% effective at preventing infection.
Hepatitis B is not solely transmitted through sexual contact. It can also spread during childbirth, as well as through everyday exposures such as sharing toothbrushes, razors, nail clippers, or through small cuts and open sores.
Homicide, mostly with guns, is the leading cause of maternal death in America.
Gun violence is the leading cause of death among children in America.
But this administration is focused on regulating … Tylenol.
