  • I’m going to talk to my hospital’s IIRB about this. I’m fairly certain the records they can access are related to existing research, and you can demand the IIRB to pull access to this data.

    Additionally, so long as it is classified as psychiatric notes, it may be possible to restrict a diagnosis further.

    If you have concerns, contact your primary care, your psychologist or psychiatrist. I don’t know what good it will do, but any healthcare provider worth their gold will raise it to their IIRB and the IIRB is the one who will be able to prevent this.

    Do not sit idle with this one. If you have the means, GTFO of the US.
















  • Unfortunately, its impossible to know. We can point to severe cases with non-verbal ASD, and those with uncontrolled violent meltdowns, and others combined with other mental disabilities, but given that JFKs sister was lobotomized for being too promiscuous and California had a mass eugenics program until the 50s we won’t know.

    But I can tell you my uncles and ancestors who were farmers, engineers, etc (extremely conservative men too) - dont like how ASD is a disorder. “Back in our day we called that an engineer.”



  • So I’m all for substances to be routinely measured for lead concentration. I wouldn’t be surprised if lead and fascism have a link.

    But, because of leaded gasoline and widespread use of lead in other products historically we cannot escape 0 lead.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if you took a plate of food from a randomized selection of restaurants, you would find lead in every meal.

    Lead is dense, and leaded gasoline absolutely fucked our planet. We know the safe level is 0.

    We cannot say that any measurement of non-zero is worse than what we can ultimately control for. We need to be measuring these things over decades, to verify the amount continues to decrease with the ultimate hope of 0 (though, that’s unlikely).
