I’ll tell you why they don’t get diabetes...none of the Amish or Mennonite kids are fat. They work hard and play outdoors. No mobile devices.

When I was a kid, nobody got autism. I think it’s a fake disorder created by libs.

I know Amish and Mennonite adults who have cancer or have died of cancer, but I’ve never known of any of their kids having cancer. Maybe it’s the exercise, fresh air, and lack of electronic devices.

Not to mention the diabetes rates, today, compared to when we were growing up.

How many kids in your grade had peanut allergies? NONE, in mine.

I’d never even heard of a peanut allergy until my own kids were in school.

Heck....just look how many more vaccines they’re pushing, on babies/kids, now, compared to even 20-25 years ago.

Nobody had peanut or gluten allergies either. And very few were overweight.

Autism isn’t a fake diagnosis, but it has been greatly expanded. My 67-year-old brother has what I refer to as classic autism. Back then no one knew what autism was.

We grew up in New Orleans where people have New York like accents. When I would tell my friends that my brother is autistic, a common reply would be, “Oh, he can draw?”

Two reasons no one had ever heard of it back then: The doctors would strongly encourage parents to institutionalize their autistic children. Warehouse them and no one knows about them. My parents were told he would never know them. How wrong they were! I’m so glad my parents rejected the doctors’ advice.

Another reason: Over the decades it went from being a singular diagnosis to a spectrum. I’m not saying people diagnosed “on the spectrum” don’t have a legitimate disorder, but just that a lot of other conditions have been added to the label “autism,” which makes autism much more common than it was back in the day.
