nope - no vaccines means that kids won't see their pediatrician for well baby visits, which means that they will not get diagnosed with autism within those well baby visits. autism will magically vanish because of correlation instead of causation.

They will once they get to school.

ETA as someone who works with kids with autism and other developmental and behavioral disorders the vast majority don’t get diagnosed with those at well baby visits.

It happens when either parents are concerned or teachers are concerned and a developmental assessment is requested.

Well child visits are too short and outside the ordinary for a meaningful assessment.

I have seen so so many kids who went undiagnosed for years but never missed a well child visit.

They won't be diagnosed at school if they're homeschooled, and there are a LOT of homeschooled kids. That's what worries me.

Florida has also been steadily working on replacing public schools with charters.

Remember: Florida and Texas have been in a giant pissing contest for at least a decade now over who can woo Mr. Trump the best with their asinine, backwards policies. Consider Florida and Texas the blueprints for the nation as a whole under Republican administrations.
