What my parents believe cause autism

They were talking about how vaccines and the chemicals in food are why more and more people are getting diagnosed wth autism.

It's literally one of the stupidest things i have ever heard.

These rates for autism are increasing because people have been getting more educated and less taboo about it. Additionally, assessments and diagnoses have been getting more inclusive to encompass more than just young white boys with high support needs. Its not that more people are getting autism, it's that more people have access to a diagnosis.

And saying that autism is being developed after birth from vaccines is just insane. The person who started that myth literally lost their medical license. So many people have gone over why its just nonsense. Let it go already.
