you f**ker. Tylenol doesnt cause autism, it is a defect from birth, often caused by the mother smoking or drinking while pregnant. Please get rid of this meme.

Do you not understand the meme? The mother didn’t use Tylenol. The cat/child still “does an autism.”
Autism is most often caused by excess neural pathways. There are neural pathway die-offs in:
Third trimester of pregnancy
3-6-ish years of age
12-15-ish years of age
In 85% of cases, we can see the excess neural pathways in brain scans. With “too many” neural pathways, the signals in the brain are confusing and scary f9r the person with austism.
In inherited cases, it’s mostly from the father not the mother. Typically it’s an older father, who exhibits quirky habits and social challenges himself. These men often have had failed relationships in the past. It’s quite common for these fathers to test as having autism if they go for a late diagnosis.
Prof Tony Attwood often jokes about mothers of newly diagnosed autistic kids asking “do you think I should have his father tested too?”
Smoking during pregnancy doesn’t cause autism, but it does cause developmental delays, underweight and premature birth. The prematurity often causes autism though, especially if the baby is significantly premature 32 weeks or earlier- ie missing out on a lot of the third trimester neural pathways in brain die-off.

What was your birth gestation (weeks) and weight? It’s wouldn't directly be smoking during pregnancy, but I’ll bet you were a little smaller than average.
“Smoking stunts your growth” is probably more true neuropsychologicain utero than in life during childhood. A stunted embryo/baby hood in utero means that development is stunted. I haven’t seen any research on this, but I’d guess that includes brain development.
All alcohol and other drugs harm unborn babies. They even recommended expectant mothers cut down on caffeine.
BTW I’m older and have a Masters Degree in Autism. I actually knew the science and wa very up to date, but the research into autism, ADHD and child mental health moves at a very rapid rate. Even the research journals have difficulty keeping up, and a lot of the latest findings are presented at conferences.
Fwiw, autism research conferences started introducing “future leaders” programs and “autism friendly zones” about 15 years ago. Some people with autism get really interested in the research and those who are very very academic can get into research by studying psychology, neuropsychology, occupational therapy, physiotherapy or other fields. When I did my Masters, we had a few people who had confirmed diagnoses, plus some others of us who just knew we were a bit quirky.

i have no idea. im actually pretty big, cool, and the main thing was i didnt cry when born. I was dumb and inhaled fluid
0 ups, 2w
Hmmm… very premmie babies physically can’t cry because their vocal cords are not fully developed. Google when vocal cords develop in utero.
Inhaling fluid after being born can be very dangerous. It can get into the lungs and cause respiratory problems including chronic lung disease and asthma long term.
How well do you know your birth story? Smoking may have been just the tip of the iceberg.
So sorry you went through this. I really hope you have great parents of choice who love you and support you. If you do, make sure you give them a hug today. They chose to take you in.
