    “No one in my generation had autism”

    Sure thing. Uncle Barry, who collects every issue of Mechanics Monthly, and has spent over $10,000 on his model train set that is a perfect scale recreation of King’s Cross Station, is completely neurotypical.

      I have a staunchly leftist but older co-worker who thinks no one she knew growing up had autism.

      “I still think something is causing it” despite being pro-vaxx.

      The propaganda is extremely effective unfortunately

        Considering how provaxx they where back then, it’s insane seeing people who grew up with polio repeating antivax shit.

        Like back in the day. No one got cancer…cause they didn’t know wtf it was, doesn’t mean the shit wasn’t around. Science didn’t stop in 1904.
