  • “If you take a look at autism, go back 25 years, autism was almost nonexistent. It was, you know, one out of 100,000 and now it’s close to one out of 100.”

    Yeah cause no one who’s been diagnosed with ASD can look at their parents or aunts, uncles and grandparents and say “wow that’s where it comes”

    My mum collects felt mice, gets overwhelmed extremely easily and has pretty obvious autistic meltdowns. My dad has clear ASD social interaction issues, will bore you for hours about his special interests. My brother also demonstrates signs. My grandad had a entire room dedicated to his train set and more books and videos about trains than I could count.

    But, no I’m the first person with autism in my family. Clearly it’s vaccines and not genetic.












  • I don’t get it. If you’re an immigrant who’s already made it to the EU, why would you want to go to England in the first place?

    As a Brit, that’s better.

    Jokes aside, here’s a couple of reasons I can think off the top of my head.

    1. English is really common for people to speak as a second language. More likely to be drawn to a country where they have some chance of being able to communicate.

    2. they may have friends or family already here (maybe who’ve chosen the UK due to point 1). People are far more likely to go somewhere where they already know people.
