This. Big time. Genetically modified foods morphing our genes exponentially into an autismal state.
^ That’s the most retarded thing I’ve read all week. Congrats.
Maybe Europe is just a bunch of Retards so it’s just the norm over there?
True
Unless you get sick in the US. Then you see who the real retards are.
Noticed the same thing. My explanation was that we are in an industry that attract more of those talents?
Bingo
Because we don’t abort our babies as often. Europe has tons of prescreening for it and the vast majority of mothers there will abort if they have the markers.
Yeah that’s an answer I heard about irl, probably has to do with a large part of it
Really? You can detect autism before birth? On which world? Do you even have kids?
I’ve read a study somewhere that autism may be caused by the iron deficiency during pregnancy. I wouldn’t be surprised if the reason was malnutrition, the food people eat here is garbage compare to Europe. It is like people lack the most basic education about nutrition. Not all, of course, but many. A couple of my friends in their late 20s live off of cheap microwaveable food, potato chips/Cheetos, soda & beer. They laugh at me cause I eat vegetables.... Down syndrome is more prevalent in first births of older women (35+). Lots of women delaying childbirth for career in US and having their first kid at a later age. Hence the higher risk of a Down syndrome, and on a national scale it makes a big difference. It is not a common knowledge here that later birth increases chances of defects, Down syndrome, etc, in fact people will probably shame you for it if you were to educate others.
I don’t trust anything that bleeds for 5 days and doesn’t die. Anemic much?
Europeans delay births much more than Americans.
“Autism/Down syndrome”? You don’t really think these are even close to the same thing do you?
He's eurotrash. So yes.
It's because the US vaccinates too much. J/k read about how mental illness can be culturally tolerated
Have you heard of Base jumping? You should try but instead of using a chute; don’t. So therapeutic
Fuck you man. Really fuck you for spreading nonsense. Evolution should wipe off people like you the anti vaxxer moron.
Hitler might have contributed to low occurrence throughout Europe.
But really what you’re saying is you hate Jews?
Nothing to do with Jews. https://www.quora.com/How-were-autistic-people-treated-in-Nazi-Germany
Because selective abortion is illegal in America.
Prettt sure this is false. People do selectively abort, but Americans are more religious and don’t
It's certainly frowned upon here where it is promoted as noble in many European countries. Norway loves to.flaunt how few they have but it is all because parents are aborting children who's genetic tests suggest they MAY have it.
Mild Autism sometimes just seem to be a personal flaw in adults. They might just not get diagnosed in Europe.
Sure but I mean obvious ones
Most autism diagnosis in the US are for people who seem to function completely normally. Medical system is very different and, imo, we over diagnose things like ASD. I'm willing to bet the obvious cases you're talking about are well within the norm of our own numbers.
