Great news! Federal researchers already have an autism registry! Anonymized, too! The current Administration must have just forgotten to check.
Now that we know, all this talk about making a list of people and correlating genomes and fitness trackers is going to stop, right?

Here you are:-
Over 650,000 children in Denmark, followed for more than a decade
No increased risk of autism after MMR vaccination - even among kids with higher genetic risk.
Large sample, rigorous controls, registry-based data (not self-reported).
The study definitively found no link between the MMR vaccine and autism.
Vaccines do not cause autism.

If you're one of the people blowing off the autism data with "cool quips" like "correlation isn't causation" then please replace your quips with DATA and solid empirical reasons for the uptick. And for the love of God, do not insult the universe's collective intelligence by claiming it's genetic. @henrioncaude @uTobian @SecKennedy @NicoleShanahan

My 27-year-old son with autism didn’t ‘destroy our family’—he gave us purpose and unity… oh, and he pays taxes.

Across studies, a strong autism identity has been shown to have its benefits - personal autism acceptance, solidarity with other autistic people, pride in being autistic.
So enjoy #NeurodiversityCelebrationWeek

Some autism research reading for #InternationalWomensDay
