    Shifting blame before people learn it’s for a large part fossil fuel pollution causing autism, and the administration is going to do more drill baby drill.

      That assumes there’s an increase in the prevalence of autism vs an increase in the awareness of the prevalence of autism. I.E. did it actually increase or does it just look that way because we have better diagnostic criteria and no longer shove people into institutions to hide them from the world (as much).

      Got any evidence of that? IIRC, agricultural fields have been correlated with autism, but I am not aware of any specifically tying it to petrochemicals.
