Yes it does. The heroin addict told me so.

Maybe it's just in my own family, but ADHD in childhood has largely been a precursor for manic depression / bipolar disorder, and it seems very likely to me to have a genetic component. It affects everyone descending from my dad's side of the family to one extent or another, and I could completely see where it came from in the flesh when my paternal grandmother was alive.
Growing up in America will affect your intellectual disabilities more than taking paracetamol
No way all Americans could reach the intellectual level of Trump's genius beacon by just growing up in America. There should be something else...
80 years of being told they're "better" (if they are white) than anyone from any other country?
80? What happened 80 years ago in the USA?
End of WW2 and Europe in shambles?
USA was better before WW2?
What do you mean??
80 years of being told they’re “better” (if they are white) than anyone from any other country?
I ask if pre-WW2 USA hadn't that very sentiment of "being better than anyone from any other country".
Who knows? I think it matters less as the world Stage was wildly different in the nineteen century.
Trump was born
Why do they treat autism like a death sentence? I'm autistic and I'm mostly fine and normal like any other person. I have a few quirks but most people have a quirk or two.
There's a pretty wide spectrum with autism, ranging from "a few quirks" to "nonverbal and more or less totally incapable of taking care of themselves, ever".
Wasn't the whole point of that announcement to make the stock price of the company that owns the patent for Tylenol plummet so that some donor to this administration could buy the company cheaply?
Yes. Then we waste real money and man hours to prove the fucking obvious(that Tylenol doesn’t cause autism) yet we don’t ever make it to the fact you just stated. Absolutely infuriating.

Eh, there were a few studies that showed a link including one of the largest ones. Now I get to move this from the "very unlikely but possible" column to the "almost certainly false" column.
Might be too late, the damage is already done. Too many gullible people out there just believe the lie they were told by the White House.
This was a study to show something we already knew to people who already knew it in the hopes of convincing people who already don't trust scientific results that we already knew it. It's the absolute closest possible thing to a total waste of time and effort I've ever seen.
Even if it did, I doubt many people would care.

"In December 2019, volunteers in Rotura, New Zealand prepared dozens of child-sized caskets to send to Samoa to help deal with the loss of so many infants and toddlers."
Medical grifters are just like faith healers in that they both kill people with misinformation, whether by their delusions or malevolence the outcome is the same, more dead especially infants and toddlers.
RFK Jr is a ghoul.
Here's him trying to withhold vaccines from newborns just to see what happens. It doesn't matter if they die because they're black and poor.

A real Dr Mengele of the modern age.
Being RFK increases your chance of being an ignorant asshole
I make it a point of pride not to believe anyone with holes in their brain due to worms.
