I read something, probably on Reddit, about how during TV interviews they record several seconds of “silence” in the same room as the interview because during editing if they want to remove something, they can’t just zero out the audio, that’s TOO silent and doesn’t sound right. Instead they overwrite the sound with this silence and it sounds more natural.
The flavor of water is the background silence that’s not nothing.
My family thinks I’m insane because I almost exclusively get bathroom sink water where I live when I get water. It’s so much better than the kitchen taps.
Only problem with water is that I need to get better about actually remembering to drink enough.
Males have been disproportionately affected: autism prevalence among boys is almost quadruple that among girls
That’s a really fucking weird take. It’s widely recognised that ASD and ADHD go massively under diagnosed in females. The fact that they don’t refer to this when raising it in the introduction shows they’ve got an anti-naurodivergent agenda.
This paper is mostly good at saying we need more research here - the CIs on those odds ratios are big.
Systematic under diagnosis would increase the chances of a null result for females
Why does this imply an anti-neurodivergent agenda?
There have been a lot of questions about why autism is more prevalent now than before (is it having a label and discussing tools, envoronmental factors, etc?). We’re seeing a lot of scapegoating, conspiracy theories, and misinformation about this issue. Having at least some evidence that yes environmental changes can affect ASD is important to understanding it.
Birmingham, Alabama. Our water is pretty good quality I think. I like the taste of it, but I am intensely lazy. So, now I don’t even have to go to the kitchen for cold water.
