“We’re going to have an announcement on autism on Monday,” Trump said during remarks from Mt. Vernon, the historic home of President George Washington for the American Cornerstone Institute. “I think it’s gonna be a very important announcement. I think its gonna be one of the most important things that we will do,” he added.

This is going to be a big announcement, a beautiful announcement. Probably the best announcement ever.

According to the latest generation, slang for “autism” is, “tism.” For example, “ Elon gots the tism.” Just fyi.

As part of a 10-month investigation Scripps News uncovered that every year, thousands of migrant children disappear from their homes shortly after arriving in the U.S. But there is no clear local, state or federal government agency taking responsibility for searching for many of these missing ...Apr 2, 2024

This is so bogus-——the kids arent “missing,” they are loaned out, passed around to other migrants. to be used in lucrative scams to get tax dollars from S/S and hefty disability checks.

Vindictive Biden overturned Trump’s order to get the DNA of these so-called needy families, to make sure the kids are really theirs.

A common practice by these greedy illegals is getting a crooked doctor to say a kid’s autistic b/c they get hefty SS tax paid benefits every month for the kid.

The maximum possible disability benefit for autism in 2024 is $943 per month for SSI and about $3,822 per month for SSDI. These maximums apply regardless of what condition you have or whether you apply with one condition or multiple. The actual amount received depends on specific circumstances. (Dec 7, 2023)

Disability Living Allowance (DLA) is a key benefit for children under 16 living with disability, including autism. It is assessed according to care needs, and a diagnosis is not required to make a claim. DLA helps cover the extra costs of raising a child with a disability. (Jan 30, 2024)

And it’s a sure bet they invent their “family circumstances.”

Note: the autism scam is rampant among the thieving Somalians in Minnesota.


Plus senior illegals are draining the system, collecting without working a day here, not having put a dime into the system.

My layman’s hunch is that the steady increase in autism diagnoses is due mainly to shifts in diagnostic protocols, with the monetization of treatment incentivizing the National Guild of Shrinks and Big Pharma to diagnose anything with a pulse as autistic.

For the educational establishment, the rush to medicalize all behavioral and learning issues becomes a cover for the collapse of classroom discipline and academic rigor in the schools. And this isn’t limited to autism, by any means; the educationists are all-in on finding scapegoats for the disaster they’ve caused.

Social media is a factor. And the list goes on and on.

So let’s blame it all on vaccines. There’s the ticket. Trial lawyers like this one. The evidence for this is mainly the enduringly popular correlation=causation calculation.

I will admit that there is a lot of merit to this calculation. I am prone to it sometimes myself. For example, I think it is established beyond any doubt that being democrat correlates strongly with the commission of violent crime. The causation is obvious, and we should ban democrats as a public safety matter.

I hate announcements about announcements. They raise expectations and always leave you disappointed.

Reduce the spectrum to what is real...

my son doesn't like noise...he doesn't look me in the eye...are norms...

Schools rake in the bucks....same with ADHD

A friend told the school to go to hell...when they said his daughter had ADHD. She became a doctor.

but at the same time, I know plenty of people that have kids that are just incapable of speech/interaction. Almost animal-like

The increase is caused by the expansion of the ‘spectrum’. I have a friend who has two severely autistic kids, one non-verbal with the mental capabilities of a three-year-old, one violent with a 9-year-old mental level. They are 22 and 21 respectively. I have another friend with a daughter who is on the spectrum and has graduated from junior college. They are all three put on the same spectrum as Elon Musk. They all four have autism by today’s standards.

As the father of a non-verbal 7-y/o daughter with Level III autism, I fully agree.

The condition has been co-opted by the "autism is my superpower" crowd on Reddit, many of whom self-diagnosed their supposed autism. These are the people who vocally stand in the way of any research towards curing autism, "Just let us autists live our best lives the way we are!"

To hell with these people. At this point, I don't see my daughter ever being able to hold a job or live independently, if she even makes it to adulthood (Level III autistic kids face of huge risk of accidental death, typically drownings or getting hit by cars).

I would like to know what caused it and if there will ever be a way to fix it. She does not have a superpower. She is profoundly disabled and parenting her is a great challenge to our lives and the lives of her three older siblings, to say the least to herself.

Great.
Now we get a week to 10 days of blue and purple haired d/s/c types yelling “hands off our autism” and “leave our autism alone”.

In the 70s my brother had pretty serious autism and doctors didn't even know what that was, they'd never heard of it. My parents had to fight hard to get proper schooling. I remember my dad recording himself and my brother talking about old comics just so he could prove to the school that in spite of what they said, he could read and talk so do your jobs, which worked to keep him in school. I still have one of those tapes, which is cool because they've both passed and after high school my brother pretty much gave up speaking so it's a shock to hear his clear voice.

I really dislike this dumbing down of autism diagnoses. A friend I have says all the time 'were all on the spectrum a little' which to me is absurd. If that's the case, the 'spectrum' is too broad.

Is Elon quirky? Yes. But compared to my brother calling Elon Autistic is damned joke.

Exactly. I’m sure we all fit some definitions to some extent. I don’t like being in crowds or speaking in public, but that’s human. I could probably find a “doctor,” to give me a diagnosis. So yeah, for the most part, it is ridiculous.

Does it matter what the cause is if nicotine (patch) works?
