Things that do not cause autism: • Air fryers • Tylenol • Circumcision • Parenting • Microwaves • Vaccines • Cell phones • Watching cable TV

Decades of blaming moms for autism: 1960s: Refrigerator moms. 1990s: Bad parenting. 2025: Tylenol moms. History repeats itself. Stop blaming mothers. Fund families, not fear.

🚨Before misinformation starts spreading from junior… Sweden’s massive study of 2.4 million children proves no causal link between Tylenol use in pregnancy and autism/ADHD. Facts matter.

🚨 Do NOT give your autistic child bleach (chlorine dioxide)….it’s poison, not a cure. New Facebook groups are popping up, pushing chlorine dioxide as a “cure” for autism. Don’t fall for it. It’s bleach. It’s dangerous. It’s illegal. Can’t believe we are back here. 😫

⚠️ STOP CELEBRATING MEDICAID CUTS. You might be on it & not even know. Medicaid isn’t always called Medicaid. It has different names in almost every state & millions are about to lose coverage without warning. Think it doesn’t affect you? You’re wrong. This isn’t just policy. It’s people’s lives.

Autism isn’t one-size-fits-all. Every journey looks different, whether you’re autistic, a parent, sibling, partner, or caregiver. You don’t get to gatekeep autism because someone’s experience doesn’t look like yours. Different doesn’t mean invalid. This space should be about support, not shame.

The pace of learning doesn’t define a child, the support they get does. Keep showing up. Keep fighting for them. Thanks to the Supreme Court, parents can hold schools accountable when they fail to accommodate our kids. This is a win for every child who’s ever been left behind.

You can’t gut Medicaid and call it reform—when autistic people lose care, they lose safety, support, and sometimes their lives.

May 14 is PDA Day. PDA involves intense anxiety around demands, leading to nervous system responses—not defiance. Support means honoring autonomy, not enforcing compliance. It’s can’t, not won’t. PDAers deserve respect, co-regulation, and spaces that meet their needs.

A fascinating fact you may not know about autism… Autism isn't caused by vaccines, parenting styles, or kitchen appliances (yes, not even air fryers). But research shows strong genetic links! Trace your family history and you might find some fascinating connections.

Autism PDA acceptance means recognizing anxiety-driven behaviors and responding with empathy, not yelling. Yelling keeps the child in survival mode. Remember, PDA is not defiance, it’s anxiety.

As a parent, I've faced judgment for embracing my son's autism rather than seeking a "cure." But I know I'm a good parent because my neurodivergent kids feel safe being themselves around me – no masking, and authentic love. I’ll keep advocating for a world that celebrates neurodiversity.

# Autism is Not a Disease My autistic child is not a medical crisis. Autism is not contagious. There is no epidemic. My child can't spread it to yours. If you think otherwise, you're perpetuating harmful ableism. Any time you speak misinformation, you harm my child and the autism community.

RFK Jr.'s claim that we'll know the cause of the autism epidemic by September is highly unlikely, given the complexity of autism research. Good research requires time, rigorous methodology and extensive data analysis. What you’re witnessing is ableism, not an epidemic.
