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.

  • Wow I thought Kier Strarmer was bad. But he’s nothing compared to trump. Why can’t people just respect others and just accept that we are all different. It’s not as if we were all made via a genesis chamber. Though I think I’d rather have general zod as a ruler compared to trump. I will be asking my mum how many times she took paracetamol 26 years ago. All I know is I was born early due to her complications but that’s why I was born early because she needed medication. Is being born earlier than due date a cause of autism or adhd?

    Don't bother asking your mum about her paracetamol habit. It had nothing to do with anything.

    Being born very premature does carry a higher likelihood of being autistic (at least according to some studies).

    Well thanks for the reassurance. I personally feel autism is more genetic for me but everyone is too stubborn to see it. My mum can see what I’m saying but I don’t know if she will be able to get an assessment on the nhs and it’s not worth £2000+ grand for a test let’s face it. It’s only because the psychiatrist who I spoke to asked if it’s in the family and may be worth getting tested but the drs are too stubborn to even send an aq10
