1) you don’t know lisa
No, I don't. But in a hypothetical where I see Person A attacking Person B, I don't need to know Person B's history to come to their defense
2) Lisa didn’t ask a question
Quoting Lisa: "The true cause of autism?"
3) it’s more than “know a couple people with autism” - it’s literally my career.
That wasn't my point. My point was that your refutation of the study was based on an anecdote. Even if you're an expert on autism anecdotes aren't "proof" that your argument is the correct one. I say that even while acknowledging I don't even think the study is true.
4) it is doing a grave disservice to people with autism by perpetuating a bad mother steroetype on their parents with shoddy half assed science, blame the mom blah blah.. it’s a disservice to the whole autism community.
Really? Does the whole autism community come to the VC forums to get the latest hot take on autism?
