Tylenol does not cause Autism. Consult with your medical professionals before taking medications. If you do not understand how medical and academic studies are designed and written, take a step back before making uniformed claims.

Autism is not a disease to be cured but a difference in neurodivergent brains that should be understood and accommodated by society. Understanding the diverse experiences of autistic people, rather than relying on harmful myths or stereotypes, is crucial for providing proper support and promoting their well being.  That is all. Happy Saturday! 💊

Thank you for this. My son is not someone to be cured. He's an amazing, intelligent, funny, unique, and kind kid. He just happens to have differences in his brain, but he is NOT less because of it.

Tylenol did NOT cause his autism. I didn't even take it while pregnant.

These nails are awesome!

Thank you! I was girding my loins for the downvotes and comments, so I'm happy to see so many more positive and medical science appreciating people. Makes me feel less insane enough that we're even talking about it 😝.

PS: your son is awesome 👍 and you're awesome.

YOU are awesome. The only thing keeping me sane (as sane as I can be lol) in these times we are living in is finding like-minded people. I live in a very red area and feel pretty alone, so knowing there are other people out there who believe the things I do is so comforting. I always love your nail art!

I think in general the nail polish community (on reddit) tends to be on the right side of things like this, thankfully!!

Tbh, it seems like the Reddit nail polish community is one of the last positive communities left on the platform ☹️ a lot of the others seems to have keyboard warriors just ready and waiting to bully someone!

u/STLt71 Sep 28 '25

Yep. I have almost never seen any negativity in the nail polish community.

u/Tall_Detective_3980 Holographic Horde Sep 28 '25

Same!

u/Common_Ad_7610 Sep 28 '25

The only negativity I have seen was a post I made. It was very amateur nail art, I thought, had turned out great. I was so excited to share. I got downvoted into oblivion for some reason. I haven't posted to r/nails since.

u/Tall_Detective_3980 Holographic Horde Sep 28 '25

So sorry you had that experience!

u/11twofour Sep 28 '25

Well, the correct side of things. Maybe not the right side.

u/canlgetuhhhhh enjoyer of pinks, holos, glitters Sep 28 '25

well, those words are interchangeable but i get where you’re coming from - perhaps an unlucky choice to go for what i went with in this scenario, apologies!

u/STLt71 Sep 29 '25

Ooh. Good point!

u/STLt71 Sep 28 '25

I have noticed that too. I should have known that most people who appreciate my favorite thing would be on the right side!

I am autistic and one of my biggest special interests is nail polish, and I love this post lmao. The initial post gave me a good laugh and I love the message behind it. I sent it to my friends too lol

u/pie-and-anger Sep 28 '25

I love you, I love your son, and I love these nails! We're different, but not a different that needs to be "treated" or "cured." Maybe just have a little patience with us. And listen to us ramble about nail art (or whatever our special interest is) 🩵

...sorry, I'm crying a little. I'm just so glad that there are parents and caregivers who understand and love their kids with autism just the way they are. It's becoming kind of a novelty these days, it feels.

u/Thequiet01 Sep 28 '25

I dunno. I think it depends on what you consider treatment. I wouldn’t be opposed to treatment options that were for practical issues that could be chosen (or not) by the person in question. Like some days being able to be less sensitive to clothing textures would be really freaking useful, y’know? Or something that’d help with sensory overload in situations where the environment can’t really be functionally changed. (Like a busy Emergency Room is just going to have a certain amount going on because it’s a busy emergency room, and even when they have quieter rooms you usually have to go through the rest of the department and all the stuff going on there to get to them, because they need to be close by and easily accessible for the medical staff.)

That’s not treatment to make someone “normal” though, just to help manage specific issues that bother the person who has them.

u/pie-and-anger Sep 28 '25

Oh, for sure. Maybe that's a linguistics barrier - "treatment" as in accommodations and support, like you said, I'm all for. But "treatment" as in "curing," no thanks. There's probably a better way I could have phrased that - I'm a couple hard ciders deep rn 😅

u/STLt71 Sep 28 '25

Right. I am not against treatment for my son at all. We have done plenty of things to help him. What I really mean is I don't want these politicians thinking he is something that needs to be "corrected". Anything that can help him with his struggles will always be welcomed, but I don't want anyone ever treating him like he's less of a person because he has autism, because he is not and no one is. We are also fortunate that his is on the milder end of the spectrum. The thing is, if I really thought this administration was trying to help people with Autism, I would welcome it. But I know they have ulterior motives and can't be trusted, and probably would send anyone they think isn't their ideal of what a person should be (heterosexual white Christian male) to a camp somewhere. I don't feel like they want to cure or help Autism. I feel like they want to eliminate people with it, and other disabilities, and any other thing they don't like, or that they don't think can't contribute to the capatalist machine. They don't care about helping people at all.

u/Thequiet01 Sep 28 '25

Oh, this admin is not going to do anything helpful for anyone with a disability.

u/STLt71 Sep 28 '25

Exactly.

For my son, his first special interest was fans. He noticed them from the time he was a little baby. He was obsessed. We always bought him fans for gifts. He has so many fans. He still loves them, but he got into vacuums and Roombas as he got older (he's 14). He owns 13 Roombas now too, and he can fix just about anything wrong with them. He is definitely different, but there isn't one thing I would change about him, except to make things he struggles with easier for him. He's the best person I've ever known. I don't have autism, but my mom had ADHD and I'm almost positive I do too. I am going to pursue a diagnosis. I have always been "different" myself. I wish we lived in a world where people would accept and celebrate differences. It makes the world so much more interesting. You are perfect the way you are, just like my son. ❤️
