The headline is bullshit, you should see me rock an Excel spreadsheet.

I remember when the vaccines cause autism bullshit started and my grandfather, who himself had polio as a child, asked my parents what autism was. They explained that it was when really smart kids had trouble with social skills and fitting in (it was the early 2000s in the Midwest, we weren’t exactly clinical in our…

1) there are kids who never got vaccines who have autism. 2) vaccines have saved literally MILLIONS of f*cking lives. per the WHO (I know, they’re probably in the pocket of “Big Pharma”, right?), about 400 kids per day die from measles. a 100% preventable disease. 3) shove that “believing white men” sh*t where the sun…

I mean, I generally agree with you though I think (as a fellow autistic person who isn’t that severe and made it until adulthood to get my correct diagnosis) that autism can easily be a disability for people depending on the severity and what they want (ie if they really want to be social or have a more social job or…

Bravo! So well said! It has sickened me for a long time to see how anti-vaxxers think the risk of kids dying from preventable disease is somehow preferable to autism. I hope the original poster reads your comment and stops to think about it.

Your child did not desend into autism. Stop it, seriously, your child is more than just a dx. To treat autism in such a way is degrading and wrong. Your child had autism from birth. That’s how autism works. Around the time children get their vaccinations is about the time they start missing milestones a hallmark of…

Aluminum is the most abundant element on earth. It’s in the soil, in the air, in the water, in any veg you eat.

Great post. If I can add a corroboration, I was born before the MMR was available, and my mom caught rubella while she was pregnant with me. I am what happens when you avoid the MMR vaccine.

Oh fuck off.

So you think that we Autistic women don’t exist?

Anti-vaxx movement stands against Autistic people by pushing harmful propaganda that promotes fear and prejudice towards Autistic people, the anti-vaxx movement has also seen a sea of money being used to disprove the myth of a connection between vaccines and autism -…

No, it wasn’t. It was started by a dishonest quack who wanted to peddle his own type of vaccine, has since admitted his “evidence” was faked, and lost his license to practice.

Three funny stories:

Go take your crazy anti-vax somewhere else. Actually, don’t. Because when you refuse to vaccinate your children you are putting the entire population at risk. Guess what, crazy anti-vax person, YOU are the reason measles and other deadly diseases are making a comeback. YOU are the reason people will die, because you…

Yes, we're going to deny what you think you experienced because your single example doesn't negate thousands of actual medical studies that say you're wrong.

The answer to your questions are:

Spot on. I‘ve been using this argument since I saw a breakdown of everyone’s top staff. For fuck’s sake, even Trump has 3 women in the top ten.

Didn’t you know? Bernie is, like, all cool and shit. So cool he couldn’t even bother to find one woman to hire to one of the top ten most highly-paid positions in his campaign. Worse than Marco Rubio, even. But we’re a feminist site, so of course we’ll just keep shitting all over Clinton for... well, reasons.

Ummmm I had this baby beat. At an even younger age. It’s been said I resembled a monchichi.
