[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, in a few years, insurance companies will deny all autism coverage by saying they shouldn’t have to pay for treatments because mom intentionally gave her kid autism by taking Tylenol. Mothers of autistic kids will be pariahs.[/quote]
What will they do with me? I have fraternal twins. One has autism and the other is neurotypical. Did all of the Tylenol only go to one baby?[/quote]

I’m also an autism parent. I hope your family is doing well and that you all are hanging in there. I say this with respect and compassion, but it’s odd to me that your experience leads you to parody people positing an environmental component. Plenty of people will say that autism “is genetic,” insinuating (or even outright saying) that whether a child has autism follows ineluctably from that child’s genes, when, in fact, the experience of twins (including monozygotic twins) shows that it surely is much more complicated than that.

Bleach.  Trump basically told us to inject bleach for Covid.  How can you take this seriously?[/quote]

I’m the person you’ve quoted. None of this research is new. I’ve known about folinic acid for well over a year. People like you who are stigmatizing [b]legitimate scientific research[/b] aimed at a vulnerable community simply because you hate Trump or RFK are not the good guys. [/quote]

It depends on what qualifies as "legitimate scientific research." Yes, there are a few very small studies, with inconsistent results, without any being replicated, and using different doses. That means they are not appropriate for drawing substantive conclusions, but they are appropriate for generating hypotheses for further testing.

Legitimate scientific research isn't going to be drawing conclusions from them. If "legitimate scientific research" does do that, then it isn't legitimate and should be stigmatized.[/quote]
