I don’t think this is about making autistic people go away or find a “cure”. Even if we eliminated all BPA magically, people are still going to be born with autism.
As the study explains, its probably only one element of how autism develops, but understanding how environmental toxins effect human development is important.
I don’t think there would be a way to cure it regardless based on this finding. This is about exposure in utero. Eliminating BPAs would be a good thing regardless, along with a bunch of other chemicals that have bad health effects.
We’ve known that BPAs were bad for a while anyway, which is why you’ll see that children’s bottles and food containers are labelled as BPA free.

No.
Just no.
Stop trying to find a ‘cure’ for us.
We aren’t going away.

Autism is not a disease, illness or anything like that. Even if it is not your intention you are framing it that way
