I don't know who needs to see this, but stomach issues are EXTREMELY common in autistic people. Some studies have found that up to 91% of autistic people have stomach issues (like constipation, diarrhea, and abdominal pain).

RFK Jr.’s #autism rhetoric isn’t about freedom or equality—it’s about enforcing capitalist exploitation. This piece decodes his words and exposes the deeper system that devalues #autistic lives. open.substack.com/pub/autside/...

Autism & Agoraphobia / Fear of Leaving Home - Sometimes agoraphobia is thought of as fear of crowds, or fear of the outdoors, but it’s more nuanced than that. Agoraphobia is really a fear of being in a situation where you don’t have control. aspergersautismnews.com/2020/04/29/a... #autism #autistic

Gone are the days where we blame autism on “refrigerator moms” who did not “hold their children enough” in their younger years. Yes, that used to be an accusation in the 1950s and 1960s. . That’s where autistic mice come in . aspergersautismnews.com/2022/01/02/a... #autism #autistic #neurodivergent

There are high numbers of autistic people in the sciences. So one could argue that autism causes vaccines.
