This is great news! :D

Slowly the BS environmental theories will die off. I'd go as far as to label these theories as hate speech.

This is quite exciting to me, perhaps this can explain why I have aspergers while my siblings and identical twin do not. :D

Considering how little faith people have in science, the anti-vaxxers will do their damnedest to convince as many people as possible to doubt this study.

There is no such thing a "hate speech" That is a bogus concept that Liberal-Progressives use as a club for beating up on racists, or on anyone who disagrees with them.

But is not hate speech the speech of racists?

My family is the same way: My identical twin sister doesn't have an ASD, but I do.

Oddly enough, we were born with different eye colors, and even now, they are still different shades (mine are light brown, hers are nearly black).

The hospital had to do a DNA test on us when we were infants because of a blood donation thing- I needed blood, and my sister was the donor- and they told our mom that there was no way we could be anything but identical twins.
