Autism causes vaccines.

Vaccines cause... kids to grow up and become adults. Autism? It means I have limited social energy and I'm so good at seeing patterns I keep getting told they aren't there and I need to be reasonable🤣

Perhaps the unique perspective and skill sets of people with autism have contributed to medical breakthroughs that indeed resulted in new vaccines.

It shouldn't be a shock to anyone that diversity in how brains work (hint hint neurodivergence) is helpful to reach a diversity of solutions.

Yes, vaccines cause adults.... I'm not a big fan of a lot of those kinds of people, especially when they're stupid enough to contradict scientists and doctors, telling them shit like "vaccines cause autism" and "the earth is flat".

Those are my least favorite kind of person.

The Earth is flat people are like entry level 1 conspiracy theorist. They believe in a stupid conspiracy that is easily disproven but ultimately they are harmless.

The vaccines cause autism people on the other hand should be rounded up and arrested for child neglect.

I can definitely see someone on the spectrum being obsessed with biology and solving diseases. If anyone is going be an expert at one specific thing, it's someone with autism.
