Autism conspiracy theories

Post Reply New Topic

I saw an ad on Facebook claiming those who took Tylenol during pregnancy are entitled to compensation because apparently it causes autism.

Well thanks to the recent school shooting as well the Sandy Hook shooting that's been brought up again, I'm sure it won't be long until we start seeing articles, and comments saying that Autism makes you a psychopath. As if we weren't dealing with enough misinformation already.

If the child is born on the night of a full moon and it forms a conjunction with any other planet ! It will undoubtedly cause Autism in any child born during that time.

Criticizing humour intended , concerning altered titles of old movies, regarding effects on possible Autism about
Marigolds and Gamma Rays…. Is a overt cause of Autism ….

This is happening i I believe .. and it is a true shame that Doctors are not keeping up with current available Research.

I myself, have come across people whom believe the conspiracy nonsense, that somehow Autism is caused by, The Devil and I'm not making this up as, I remember coming across a mother in my real life whose son has Aspergers; as she moved to America due to the fact, in the country in which she grew up the local culture believed that not only autism was brought on by,"Satan" but any & all other abnormalities be it physical or neurologically related.

Mom says Walmart’s acetaminophen caused autism in her child. Here’s what experts say

I fed a Alka Seltzer to my Pet Seagull,and it done Exploded ... and its long known that Alka Seltzer contains Acetaminophen. And am quite sure that bird developed Autism just before it exploded . Cause it was flying pretty weirdly, Just then There is even a You tube video on that bird meeting his demise on the beach in So.Cal. if it hasn't already been banned .

Lacking certain food apparently causes autism, or something to do with "gut bacteria". It never specifies which gut, so I'm just gonna guess. Hmm, the bladder?

I’ve never heard of any of these except for vaccines and refrigerator mothers. Of course they had to blame the mothers and not the fathers, right?

I really don’t know what causes it for most people but considering we’re born with it and it seems to have existed as a natural variation for at least centuries, I’m sure it has nothing to do with diet or vaccines.

Mine is genetic but who knows how or why it started.

Following Post based on facts:
Strongly Agrees with Isabellas assesment of this issue being genetic .....
just personal note found addressing gut bacteria issues seems to moderately helped in some of the more chronic appearing stuff from Autism that I have dealt with. There are a number of different gut bacteria that like to inhabit some segments of the colon than others , As i had learned . With the bulk of the acidophilus variations inhabiting the upper part of the colon and stomach areas. Then all the various others inbetween Lactobacillus , thermophilus etc. in the colon , then at the tail end is the Bifidum or Bifidus biotics . Sorry durn personal experience and early special interest stuff going on , due to Major crush injury , and had only a limited amount of help to recover . So you study this stuff . Plus employed for several years with major Raw Milk/dairey product manufacturer .Early in working career.
( just a offering, have heard and believe Leaky gut syndrome to be a issue for many given current available food supplies ) a Good thing to consider .

I agree addressing some of the gut issues can be helpful with depression / anxiety which can lead to social stressors. Serotonin is produced in the gut which is connected to our nervous system.

I think it sometimes helps with some of the symptoms for some people, but it wouldn’t take away a person’s autism completely especially if there’s a genetic cause. In my case I was also exposed to high levels of heavy metal toxins in utero and in early childhood.

Now I’m curious about conspiracy theories but I don’t want to risk going down a rabbit hole. It’s sad that so many people feel the need to blame someone or hold certain groups accountable, like it’s something so terrible we need to litigate and seek damages.
