Genetic and physical damage of certain areas of the brain on one side and overdevelopment of opposing areas of the brain on the other side. That's why it's a spectrum, but often people place the spectrum with the normies at zero, geniuses at 2 and retards at 10 which is wrong. The real map of autism-schizophrenia would be 2 dimensional with normies at the center though.

Positive means overdeveloped, negative means underdeveloped.

>>15281016
This is interesting, let me check if I'm understanding you. If you're negative in autism and negative in schizo, it means both your sides are undeveloped and you're therefore stupid, ie. glue eater? If you're a genius it means both sides of the brain are overdeveloped(which makes sense intuitively, I guess). And the more one side develops opposed to the other the more you're straining into the territory of autism/schizo? Which physical side of the brain corresponds to which overdevelopment/underdevelopment?

I've read some interesting studies re: possible correlation between autism & use of APAP (Acetaminophen/Tylenol) in pregnancy. I'll find some of the studies & link them in a post after this.

One interesting point that kinda served as an accidental 'essentially a full market comparison study' - was that if you look at the diagnosis rates across the years...

and you analyze the years after the tylenol capsule cyanide poisonings (resulting in tylenol being taken off the market and then a lingering lack of trust after being put back on the market as tablets) these periods with a broad decline in use of APAP across the population - there were drops in rates of autism spectrum diagnoses in children for the years following those periods.

again, that wasn't the only data - obviously correlation doesn't = causation - but that was just another interesting data point in addition to other studies that attempted to determine whether there was a causal relationship.

Some studies I've read didn't show anything; some showed strong correlation; some showed correlation but had flawed/imperfect methods - ie some asked mothers whether they took APAP during your pregnancy at all/how much/how often - but it was A. Self reporting. B. depending on the mother's knowledge/accurate memory of those 9 months... when asking her about it several months or couple years after giving birth/without the mother having any intent to monitor their APAP consumption during said pregnancy.

Now, sure, lawyers/class action suits will try to do whatever they can if they think they can make $$ - but apparently some law firms think there is enough evidence available to justify pursuing a class action over it - I heard about this a handful of months ago.

Honestly, it isn't too crazy of a theory. Far more sane than the vaccine crap. APAP is combined into tons of OTC products; NSAIDs are contraindicated in pregnancy; APAP is what MDs always tell them to take for pain - presuming it to be safe

Prenatal and postnatal exposure to acetaminophen in relation to autism spectrum and attention-deficit and hyperactivity symptoms in childhood: Meta-analysis in six European population-based cohorts

European Journal of Epidemiology volume 36, pages 993–1004 (2021)

>meta-analysis representing more than 70,000 children of six European population-based birth/child cohorts indicated that children prenatally exposed to acetaminophen were 19% and 21% more likely to subsequently have ASC and ADHD symptoms within the borderline/clinical range, respectively, compared with non-exposed children.

It keeps flagging this as spam, so I took out the link - you'll have to look it up by title, it is available for free

Prenatal Exposure to APAP & Risk for ADHD & ASD: Systematic Review, Meta-Analysis, & Meta-Regression Analysis of Cohort Studies

https://academic.oup.com/aje/article/187/8/1817/4980325

>our analysis of the available evidence indicates that acetaminophen exposure during pregnancy is associated with a 20%–30% increased risk for neurodevelopmental disorders.

(but the above study is 1 of the studies that admittedly had plenty of flaws - as they go on to state in the discussion/conclusion "However, results should be interpreted with caution, because there was evidence of heterogeneity between study estimates of the outcomes. In addition, given that all of the included studies were of observational design, the results are susceptible to potential confounding factors, most notably confounding by indication, as well as potential misclassification of exposure or of outcomes."

Still trying to find a couple more that I've read recently

That couldn't possibly be it. Vaccines are "safe and effective", the leftist pharmaceutical companies and the TV says so.

>prenatally exposed to acetaminophen were 19% and 21% more likely to subsequently have ASC and ADHD symptoms within the borderline/clinical range....

The problem with such statements?

-Compared to which birth cohorts?
-Were other variables that could cause associations/correlations ruled out?
-Are these symptoms actually permanent or just temporary?

And so on. I've heard of an association between pre-natal exposure to anti-depressants and autism/ADHD before but upon looking at the numbers, it apparently cannot account for more than 5 % of the total case load. There's also something sinister about reducing any issues of social dysfunction to biology.
>>15285284
Judging from my experience, there's also a difference between how 'autists' and 'non-autists' think of autism. Generally, autists are aware that autism is a made-up construct that lumps together lots of 'disadvantaged' people. 'Non-autists' on the other hand think of autism as an already proven absolutely real problem that science will surely solve and once the problem is solved and more people are put on pills, society will just keep getting better.

>vaccine overload of young children
Just because you want it to be true doesn't make it true. No 'anti-vaxxer' ever could provide me with any meaningful biological evidence on how vaccines causes autism and frankly, judging from my personal experience, many parents latch onto the vaccine conspiracy simply for the sake of covering up bad parenting. But I also know that this has absolutely nothing to do with science and is just the next fad meant to atomize society.

No better way to manipulate people than my claiming that someone wants to hurt their children.

your own graph shows that from 5 vaccines to 24 there haz been basically no increase in autism.

You must be blind anon, look at that anon's graph again. Austism spike starts around 1980, exactly coinciding with the increase in vaccine numbers for kids that got increased vaccine rates in the late 1970s-early 1980s.

Or are you so autistic to think those particular years are the exact years the RDA of vaxx's were increased, and that it shows up instantly? KEK!

BTFO yourself much?

This is also the time when polyester production really ramped up. Please consider xeno androgens and xeno estrogens as possible autism causes as well, thanks.
