I read somewhere that Autism is passed on through male genetics (sperm) - speculating here but what if that little blue pill is contributing to degrading the quality of sperm ?

If parents engage in rough sex, the physical impacts could affect the child's brain development. Side effects manifest in adulthood, involving speculation about the quality of sperm and autism on social media. Access to appropriate resources is recommended as therapy, and recovery is complete. 😉

Oh come on, take the brim out of your back and have a bit of fun. Laugh, enjoy the 2nd degree, don’t blame others to be weird when you believe that low quality sperm is provoking autism. Piece and fun. ✌️

You don't need anything extra to pass on genetic material. Sperm quality doesn’t need to be "degraded" to have the genes for a mostly heritable trait.

I’m not a geneticist & have no interest in agreeing or disagreeing with your statement. The fact that genes can be modified in vitro for some genetic markers proves your theory incorrect

Alison Meyer @awithonelison.bsky.social

There are over 30,000 studies that show genetic markers for autism. It predates all of the "environmental factors" non-scientists like to blame by centuries, according to medical literature, and most likely has always been in the gene pool since hominins existed.

Citing experts with solid credentials in their field and research to back up claims is nothing at all like appeal to authority. In fact, what makes an appeal to authority a fallacy is the authority's lack of subject matter expertise.

Better than speculating, try reconsidering where you "read things" and learning how to assess the quality of that information. Probably more likely that autistic fathers had autistic children, and you "don't get autistic women".

badassery needed @badassbitchbrigade.bsky.social

autism isn't just gendered to males. all people of all genders can be autistic. pretty sure it's just genetic in general. what you probably read is that older sperm (older men) are more likely to have autistic children. but you're more likely to have autistic children if you are autistic. period.

Unfortunately for you, if you post things on the internet, people will have opinions about them. If you want anyone to take you seriously you're going to have to bring us the scientific papers which evidence your speculation. Anywhere under the rock is fine!

Honestly, I think that the spike in autism is from people delaying having children until they are older. Not that I blame them with how expensive everything is. But 30s and sometimes 40s to have kids may be passing the expiration date.

I don’t know enough to speculate on that ! I recall seeing a news report (watch out alarmist, I’m recalling !) where one young family had 3 or 4 children & all of the kids were all on the spectrum at varying degrees. My heart goes out to parents & caregivers who do not have the resources or access

Same as in Iowa with the cancer rates. Probably pesticides and toxins they spray everywhere. Of course, that little blue pill seems to hit the right timeline as well. On another note, I'm sick of all the ed ads for the generic. These guys can't even get a women now a days. They don't need a pill.
