... or ADHD, or food allergies, or anxiety disorders, or homosexuality, or any of other crap our children are plagued with.

After seven months on pregnancy forums, I’ve determined this is a big fat lie.

Women today are taking all kinds of shit during pregnancy. Heartburn meds, extra vaccinations, popping Tylenol like it’s candy, high dose progesterone supplements. Oh, and that doesn’t include all the drugs that are taken these days to just get pregnant, like the massive amounts of hormones you use during IVF or IUI treatments, or Clomid to increase ovulation. Drinking during pregnancy is becoming more acceptable (because one bitch wrote a book), and apparently smoking weed your entire pregnancy is no big deal either. Most psychiatric drugs are cleared for use during pregnancy as well.

This is on top of all the birth control, drinking, bad eating habits, obesity, and anxiety meds women are on for most of their lives.

But no, nothing in the modern world causes autism. You constantly freaking out about your mother in law’s innocent bullshit, or your high stress job, or your advanced maternal age, won’t affect your baby at all. Nothing causes problems!

Good luck making any headway trying to engage normies in scientific discussion. They quite literally can't even.

Yeah, it’s like everyone is conditioned these days to believe whatever an “expert” tells them, verses applying any amount of critical thinking to a problem and working it out for themselves.

You can't know anything, peon. Only the anointed ones can know, by reading the exact same literature you just read.

Indeed. How dare you come to your own conclusions!

Except for drinking during pregnancy. Like I said, some bitch wrote a book about how you should question that, and now it’s suddenly okay to drink.

This is the exact trick they use in Judaism, Islam, and Catholicism. Mere peons cannot read the holy book and interpret, you need special anointed experts to interpret and then instruct you what to do

If you understand this much then think about how you got your knowledge. Small red pills over time would be my guess, don't expect a rational debate with science, facts and logic, just give them a nudge in the right direction. "Cancer and autism is almost non existent in the Amish community, I wonder why?" Is way better than overwhelming them with too much information they can't understand in their current state of mind.

Rome wasn't built in a day, we need to nudge people in the right direction instead of giving up on them completely.

Brilliant!

I'd prefer they be overwhelmed by these nuts.
