... 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!

The brains of babies arent developed enough to even have the behaviors that autism would mess with. So you aren't going to see it until 1.5 to 2 years of age (even for unvaccinated kids).

Since most parents get their kids vaccinated shortly before this developmental mile stone (for the kids safety), its a very easy smooth-brained leap to claim it was the vaccine and not your own genetics rolling a critical failure on the genetic dice.

If the father is 35 or older, his sperm might as well have been curdled, as far as autism chances are concerned. Autism rates skyrocket when fathers are 35+, just like other genetic issues if the mother is 35+.

Whether the child is vaccinated or not, the above factors of age correlate with autism rates whike vaccination does not impact the rates.

Take some goddamn responsibility for your life choices for once or else admit that god is punishing you on behalf of your absent sense of personal responsibility.

Tldr: vaccines dont cause autism, fathers over 35 do and the autism rates correlate with that
