I can see a very good reason why correlation between fathers being physicists, engineers and scientists vs. autism can lead to observed "old-dad" correlation when tabulated by a feminist with an agenda (blaming men)
The genetic basis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is known to consist of contributions from de novo mutations in variant-intolerant genes. We hypothesize that rare inherited structural variants in cis-regulatory elements (CRE-SVs) of these genes also contribute to ASD. We investigated this by assessing evidence for natural selection and transmission distortion of CRE-SVs in whole genomes of 9,274 subjects from 2,600 families affected by ASD. In a discovery cohort of 829 families, structural variants were depleted within promoters and UTRs, and paternally-inherited CRE-SVs were preferentially transmitted to affected offspring and not to their unaffected siblings. The association of paternal CRE-SVs was replicated in an independent sample of 1,771 families. Our results suggest that rare inherited non-coding variants predispose children to ASD, with differing contributions from each parent.
Also, older guys shoot blanks most of the time anyway so it's not like they were having tons of kids. The paper also mentions the combo of women (also older) and older men in this phenom.
Are you peeps aware of the degree of genetic disease in countries that breed like that? Not to mention the inbreeding involved.
but I bet it's ancient eggs that is more important than the age of the sperm.
"cis" about cis-regulatory elements?
Cis and trans have long been chemistry terms, that were relatively recently adopted by LGBTQ in the context of human sexuality and identity. They are latin roots that basically mean "on the same side of" and "on the opposite side of." Trans fats are a completely non gender related example you've heard of.
"Science Washing" Socio-Political Opinions.
I see a sensible and intuitive analogy with the terms. Thematic apperception at play on your part, perhaps.
There is no objective metric to "Gender Fluidity"
Original Title:160 Research Papers Supporting the Vaccine/Autism Link
Description:Media reports have claimed that there is no scientific evidence supporting the link between vaccines and autism. Here we provide for the reader research that demonstrates links between vaccines and autism, and the mechanisms by which vaccines can cause autism.

Caregivers?
They used to be called parents.
Denmark removed all mercury from vaccines in 1992. Thorsen's study, cited by "Factcheckers" on "Vaccine Autism" wasn't begun until 1995, three years after Danes banned Mercury.
The actual allegation is that the mercury in the vaccines cause autism; the Medical Establishment and "FactCheckers" ignore this and deliberately create a straw man of 'all vaccines' to tear down.
