SS: The National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services have partnered to research the causes of the autism spectrum disorder, creating a database of autism-diagnosed Medicare and Medicaid enrollees, the agencies said on Wednesday.

With large batches of data, you may be able to identify if there is really an increase and if so, a cause. Statistic are bad. Common sense beats science every time.
Hopefully they’re actually going to uncover some of the immoral and unethical practices of overprescribing meds for people who don’t actually need them and the shady, mutually beneficial relationships between doctors and pharmaceutical reps.
Or why so many medical texts were written/funded by pharmaceutical companies.
Most doctors spend, what, 10-15 minutes in a room with patients, with that prescription pad in hand, ready to write out a prescription rather than seeking out the root cause of the issue(s).
Most not focusing on diet or nutrition.
Years ago, I asked a doctor about vitamins and he just looked at me like I was stupid and just wanted to write me a prescription for something, even though I didn’t need a prescription. 🙄
I just learned today that many countries will not let you move there if you have Autism, like New Zealand and Australia. So a national US registry could be very detrimental to people for many reason including leaving the country.
God I wish you blue haired losers would let people who actually deal with profound autism get some funding and resources. They are protecting PII. This isn’t a registry, those require names.
The kill list …don’t register…
Another person that doesn’t want to see Autism cured . Weird how this is the left new thing.
What the fuck…we’re making registries for people with disabilities now?
