Earlier this week the administration announced that it supports the nonsense that autism is caused by vaccines and acetaminophine. Once again, autistic people have been portrayed as a worst-case scenario that invalidates our right to exist. doctor Scott Frasard in a Facebook post Live Life Authentically wrote When society refuses to accept autistic people as they are, it does not stop them from being autistic. It just stops them from feeling safe. Matthew Lawrence, the hashtag actually autistic coach, wrote The hunt for a cause is just the hunt for someone to blame, and blame only makes sense if you think being autistic is bad.
Becalori Hector wrote. Tylenol acetaminophin doesn't cause autism. Vaccines don't cause autism. Autistics have always been here and we're not going anywhere. More importantly, being autistic isn't less than being part of the neuromajority. In fact, many autistics even like who they are because they are autistic.
