Some of their anger is because they can't make themselves understood.

[@verityowens9638]

They all seem to be very loud. Sometimes it gets tiring listening to them

Older dad, multiple higher risk of autism.

I'd love to see a link to the scientific evidence...

[@tatjanakane503]

@@elan1418 yes, there are few medical studies on this correlation. Search the pubmed.

Debunked. Next.

Vacation can be the problem
My son is proven autisme because of Vacation
98% sure.
And we got a compensation for it. But for my son.
the money doesn't fix anything

[@maverickhistorian6488]

How ignorant can you be?! Autism is not caused by vaccination! It is a condition that is genetic, therfore it runs in the family. My nephew is high functioning autistic, and so am I.

it's so sad to see the diversity our children have to grow up around.. this has to change, it's unconscionable

@theloniuspunk383, so, what children should only socialize with other children that are 'equal' to themselves in every way?? Gender, intelligence, color, religion, wealth, language etc. ??? I think not!! 🤔

Did she take the MRNA vaccine?

[@YllaStar95970]

The programme has a broadcast date of 1990, and Lee was 18 at that time, meaning he was born around 1972, so no she did not take the MRNA vaccine.
Raby Hall had it's last review in 2019 just prior to COVID, and though there were management issues with the delivery of care, the overall setting was considered to be a very high level of care delivered on a personal basis.

Autism has been around since humans. Get a grip.
