They're now reporting that RFK is making people register who have autism. And comparing it to Jews registering and how the gov will go door to door to detain people with autism. Locally and nationwide.
Nevermind HI has registration for all legal gun owners. It sounds like then parents for autistic people should take up the 2A. But now they're in a registry too.
What they're leaving out is how else does one track if artificial dye's are the cause of autism? My friend does medical data and and is a Brandon supporter said this isn't the only list that the gov keeps to track data like this. So it's nothing to him and his field. With the stats he sees, he's on board with RFK.
The CDC tracks all kinds of diseases based on doctor reporting. One reason is to identify who might be at risk of contracting diseases such as HIV and other STDs. During COVID, people being quarantined were required to provide the names of people and places they might have come into contact with others.
New stats put the prevalence of autism at about 1 in 28, with the risk of a child being diagnosed with it at 1 in 36.
While autism isn't contageious from a communicability perspective, it can be hereditary.
Autism may be influenced by genetics, with studies consistently demonstrating
a higher prevalence among siblings and in families with a history of autism.
This led researchers to investigate the extent to which genetics contribute to
the development of autism. Numerous studies, including twin studies and family
studies, have estimated the heritability of autism to be around 80 to 90%,[3]
indicating that genetic factors play a substantial role in its etiology. Heritability
estimates do not imply that autism is solely determined by genetics, as
environmental factors also contribute to the development of the disorder.[4]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heritability_of_autismIn short, there's a valid health concern with allowing people with undiagnosed autism continue to go unidentified, and those who are diagnosed providing more details on their living environment including the foods they and their parents eat.
We don't know what we don't know. Gathering metrics is always the best -- and often the only -- place to start. If nothing else, diagnosing a child with autism can help parents, teachers and other kids adjust their expectations and behavior around someone with autism.
I recently re-watched
The Accountant. The movie delves into the degree of functionality someone on the autism spectrum may exhibit. Some will require professional help to do daily routine tasks, while others may just need routines which can help manage symptoms.
Autism takes on many forms, but if there's an environmental factor (i.e. food dyes) that increase the frequency of diagnoses, it's worth implementing.
I think gathering medical info to combat a disorder is no different than gathering race, ethnicity, gender and habits (smoking, ...). If it helps prevent or diagnose health problems, it has a valid purpose.
