Trump on autism

Wordsmith

The Guardian is reporting that Trump has just teased that he will be making an important announcement on autism tomorrow (quite how this was relevant in the middle of a eulogy for Charlie Kirk is not clear but that’s the Great Orange Blimp for you). Looks like we can expect mums taking paracetamol during pregnancy to be blamed and folinic acid to be touted as a cure.

  • Instead of speculating, why not wait to see what he says.

    Maybe it will be money for more research or help.

    It doesn't have to be bad.

    His exact words:

    Tomorrow, we're going to have one of the biggest announcement really medically, I think, in the history of our country. ... I think you're going to find it to be amazing. I think we found an answer to autism. How about that? Autism.

    He's also going to talk about, "how to get at least somewhat better when you have it".

    Do you really think he's going to announce more money for research or help? He's going to blame it on paracetamol/acetaminophen (and probably the mothers who take it) and then claim that folic acid/folate/vitamin B9 is a partial cure.

    Now, this is where I'll start speculating: he'll cut funding for diagnosis and support, so that it will look, on paper, like the "Autism epidemic" is now under control.
