As Ann (please follow her) says on the thread, the main cause of autism is autistic parents having autistic children.
Autism is highly, highly hereditary. It's really frustrating when this isn't taken in consideration in research. #Autism #AutismResearch

I will die on the proverbial hill of "For goodness sake check whether your cohort is autistic, before declaring that product X or procedure Y or environmental factor Z 'caused' their autistic child."
It's not rocket science.

Worth a quick run-through of the modern understanding of autism, since so many teams are still using the outdated DSM-5 descriptions from 2013. So many changes in the last 12 years. This is all from research studies.

The Sensory Street project is now on Bluesky! Follow if you're interested in hearing about sensory processing and inclusive spaces #AutismResearch
We are Sensory Street!
We conduct research to help create more inclusive spaces. We aim to understand how sensory environments impact neurodivergent people and to advocate for changes that enable greater independence and accessibility for all.

Then, as we’re not listened to, society's understanding of autism develops without us.🤷🏽♀️
That flawed understanding is then used to overrule us, again.
