countries will higher autism rates have better healthcare… aka higher rates of accurate diagnosis….
also, lower rates of autistic kids being killed due to inconvenience.
Well when you look at Europe you see that the countries that make up the majority of the countries that colonized America have the higher autism rates too
If you block OP, you have basically left the community, as OP is this community. Either way, I’m fairly certain OP is posting this as in “look at how dumb this is.” It’s a science memes community.
If you see this comment, it could be interesting to get an idea of how many people:
a) Thought OP posted this in like a "Look at how dumb this is" way, or,
b) Thought OP agreed with the idea presented in the image.
I think this might have to do with communication climates (I am so far from an expert in anything) and how a climate of disagreement with peers and prevalent media can affect how a message is received. In other words, if surrounded by stupid people with stupid ideas it's easy to assume the next stupid idea has come from a stupid person.
Anyway, fact is that the US ranks in the place 33 in the average IQ level, maybe saved by the chinese and corean scientifics working in the MIT, no need of an fake map.

This, but also isn't that how genetics works? You're not going to see a native Chihuahua thriving in the arctic.
(But it's probably something about what countries actually do testing, etc. )

This reminds me of how we beat covid by not testing for it anymore

Obviously it's because people in Africa and south America don't have access to paracetamol.

Yeah if this instance is going to become a place to post disinformation, I’m out. I came here to escape reddit, not double down on its worst aspects.

Calm down, you're in a memes channel, and OP here posts science memes all the time. I'm very sure this is satirical

Sarcasm no worky worky on internet. Therefore we invent emoji. 🔏

Let's play Pick the Cognitive Biases. Not just in the picture, but in the comments and the reasons people downvoted this.
