You want cookies make them yourself is my reaction.

They are seriously ubiquitous in the worst way. I miss being able to buy graphic tees with witty shit on them! AA tees for women are always weird and tiny and the men's are cut too high and I end up with a uniboob.

I always thought they looked extremely strung out.

It's fascinating watching a company imploded from the inside like this.

I can't find a joke in this.

Hmm. I can almost get behind point #1, I believe strongly in autonomy. So I can get where they're coming from with that.

I'd have to research #2 and #3 a bit more, I feel like #2 has kind of been disproven by years of history and I'm not sure what other vaccine injuries you're referring to with #3.

Thanks for the…

I hate to bring this up here, but most of the people whom I know who are not vaccinating are not making that choice to avoid autism. Most of them agree that vaccination doesn't cause autism.

Heck some of my friends who don't vaccinate have autistic children — so they are quite clear in this process.

They choose not to…

I'm sorry for your loss in the miscarriage. It's really heartbreaking when that happens.

Also, yay! for special education teachers!

Not defending the opinion (seriously people, just vaccinate your g-d kids), but I think the feeling is that if autism can be avoided, they're going to avoid it. And they're short-term thinkers who say to themselves "What are the chances my baby will get polio? Basically zero. Let's not chance autism." They're *wrong*…

I laughed so hard at this. Thank you.

Yup. If a diet requires eliminating an entire food group, it's bullshit. OH WORD? BREAD IS POISON? Maybe tell that to the hundreds of generations of people who have survived on it since the dawn of agriculture. Also make sure to tell modern civilization that it exists thanks to poison. Now go die and let me eat my…

I think you probably have a little exposure bias going on. Most people I've met think that autism is NBD because most of the autistic people you can actually meet in life are on the mild-to-moderate end of the spectrum. People with severe forms of it are more often confined to their homes, hospitals, state facilities…

Pro-vacc here, but I think the fear stems from the fact that almost everyone knows someone with a child who has Autism/ASD/Aspergers, but very few people know someone whose child has died, from a childhood disease or otherwise. I think that people literally think that children don't die anymore because our medical…

No water for anyone!

What?

If you want to follow a fad diet yourself, fine, whatever, it's your choice. But if you are feeding your infant a fad diet you really need a kick in the ass. And yes, "paleo" is a fad diet.

Does Autism "develop"? No, it doesn't.
