While we do not know the causes of ALL autism, there are over 24,000 peer-reviewed papers when you search "autism" and "genetics" on Pubmed. They don't like that answer b/c it doesn't fit their uninformed pre-conceived ideas, but that doesn't mean we don't know anything.
How it started, how it’s going… 150 year old brass polishes up pretty nice 🤩
Also saw displays of disgusting levels of wealth, including at least 10 different mega-yachts (including these two). Three of them were anchored near a private island that can apparently be rented out.

“Pardon me, do you have a moment to talk about our lord and savior Jesus Christ?”

Yes, let’s “look at what’s happening in the strait”. Somehow I’m just not that optimistic 🤷♂️
Well, at least the price of eggs has gone down 🙄 Live Updates: Inflation Jumps as Iran War Intensifies Price Squeeze www.nytimes.com/live/2026/06...
This shit is bonkers. They are legitimately trying to argue that once the president *starts* breaking the law, courts can’t stop him?
If you had bought $1000 of this gem when it first came out at its peak, you’d have $100 today 😂
