Can't believe you've added autism to this list.
- onetimemanytime 7y agoYou think it was always there but autistic kids then were labeled "crazy" or weird? I strongly believe that our hormones and system can be affected by outside things such as pollution (any kind of it)
- honestoHeminway 7y agoEh, no they where quite literally used as human automation. Shove them into the factory..
- FrankyHollywood 7y agoWhy is nobody talking about the fact that kids mis a lot of real-life playing outside in the dirt, and sitting behind a screen... on average 6 hours a day. https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-32067158 https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-32067158 Perhaps because it's the easy way, just blame some chemical instead of taking action. If you move to a friendly neighbourhood and have some rules about screentime kids play outside, I know from experience with my own kids. I'm no expert, but I suspect a strong correlation in autism development and 'hours spend in front of a screen instead of playing outside with peers'.

Autism is usually diagnosed at 24 to 36 months - you're saying that the toddlers are playing too many video games and not spending enough time building treeforts?
- cameronbrown 7y agoNot all autism is the typical HN "autism is my superpower" meme. For many it is a serious struggle.
- VBprogrammer 7y agoI could be wrong but my interpretation was more along the lines of autism has suffered enough from its connection with vaccine conspiracies; the last thing we should do is start associating it with environmental issues without strong evidence.
