RFK, Jr, who’s made million$$$ spreading lies linking Autism to anything his heroine-ravaged brain hallucinates, teams up with the Biggest Liar, Donald Trump, to threaten the lives of more children.
(The definitive scientific and historic “Bible” on Autism & Neurodiversity, “Neuro Tribes,” published in 2015, a New York Times Bestseller, is 548 pages long. Not once does it mention Tylenol or Acetaminophen. The words don’t appear in the book’s index. Not one word in this highly regarded and brilliant book links Tylenol or Acetaminophen to Autism. RFK, Jr., and Donald Trump are spreading yet another BIG LIE that will cause children to die.)
This dangerous lie and anti-scientific fiction linking Autism to Tylenol (or Acetaminophen) is easily crushed by going to the New York Times best-selling book on Autism & Neurodiversity, “ Neuro Tribes: The Legacy of Autism and the Future of Neurodiversity,” by the brilliant Steve Silberman, published in 2015.
Autism was first identified at least a decade before both Acetoaminophen (1950) and Tylenol 1955) were discovered. From Silverman’s book, which is considered the “Bible” on Autism: (p. 5) “…this baffling condition was first discovered in 1943 by a child psychiatrist named Leo Kanner.” There was no Tylenol in existence then, nor Acetaminophen, but Autism was confirmed to exist.
“Neuro Tribes” continues: “Then a year later, (1944) in an apparent synchronicity, a Viennese clinician named Hans Asperger discovered four young patients of his own…displaying precocious abilities in science and math…He also called their condition “Autism”…
More ominously, and 6 years earlier–on October 3,1938–seven months after the Nazis invaded and annexed Austria and took over the University of Vienna– Asperger, according to Silberman (pages 127-139)–”gave the first public talk on Autism in world history at the University’s Medical School, “ then, the most prestigious medical school in Europe. Silberman devotes pages detailing Asperger’s work for the Nazis, identifying children “ not educable” or low functioning. Those children, were put to death by the Nazis. (p. 138).
Those lies equaled death.
