I also think there would be less diagnosis of autism if there were fewer financial benefits to the parents

... maybe but the milder cases don't get financial support - got to prove you need the financial support which is the more severe cases and they'd be diagnosed before so would get the support regardless.

Are we gonna have to wait as long as you quoted ref eggs on another thread I wonder BQ

Well let's just have a look shall we, out of nowhere you insult me and immediately ask what ships I was on. Normally if it is just a side issue a DM would suffice, but due to your nature in other threads this was unlikely as you have had a go at people because they aren't in the arb business, so that is why I asked why. If you had asked if I served on Richmond or Fort George then it would have been a quick conversation, however that's not good enough for you and you press on and so I give the only one that had been built at Swans, but rather than type in her full title I chose to use the pennant number, but that wasn't enough nor a single ship. So I gave you photos and all the seagoing pennant numbers and all the delightful and not so delightful places we visited and for some reason you still want me to put the names up? As others start to question why you need such info you double down.

 

"There wasn’t really any point as such in the question nor any need for a random name to be thrown in or for it becoming a pissing contest of who’s been where and to what port or pub. "

 

If there wasn't a point surely you drop it before those comments above? No, you have to fight your corner and start belittling people who are giving you an out, but you can't back away from the hole you dug. So you keep it up. I gave you the names of them, why you couldn't Google them I don't know. If you want I can look at my records and give you dates of joining/leaving and also the shore bases, Fisgard, Sultan, Caledonia, Nelson, Royal Arthur, Drake. 

 

"Don’t judge people by your own standards lad" 

 

Lad? More belittling and diverting and eventually off on a tangent about RN TV shows. 

 

You tried to call me out as a Walt, it didn't work, get back under your bridge.

For me though it doesnt add up purely based on the fact that Paracetemol has been around for years, which doesn't account for the more recent increase in Autism

Absolutely, though as others say, diagnosis is on the rise. My wife worked with many children and young people who were on the spectrum and we also knew several families where it was prevalent from grandparents to great grandchildren and across the whole spectrum. 

Taking Mencken into account, I wonder if it is just a case of keeping oneself in the limelight by saying something...anything?

Gestational diabetes linked to autism and ADHD in new study

THECONVERSATION.COM

---

Children were 36% more likely to be diagnosed with ADHD and 56% more likely to develop autism if their mother had...

 

Trump and RFK are probably well aware that the food and drink industry is worth more than the pharmaceutical industry.

BillQ, do you think that, if I ask nicely, I'll be allowed to join the game?

 

In anticipation of a positive answer I'll list the ships that I served on.

 

Then, it'll be up to others to guess my name rank and number.

 

Here we go . . . . . . . . . 

1963 HMS Raleigh - shore

1964 HMS Cambridge - shore

1964 HMS Ashanti - F117

1965 HMS Excellent - shore

1966 HMS Scarborough - F63

1967 HMS Decoy - D106

1970 HMS Excellent - shore

1971 HMS Royal Arthur - shore

1971 HMS Excellent - shore

1974 HMS Victory.

Yeah I was cheeky and then asked a simple question. You ain’t all good manners yourself lad.

Absolute rubbish, I’m often on the receiving end of that type of remark but that statement is BS.

I asked for the names, I never asked where you visited or had runs ashore nor for any pictures.

I could have and would have deduced that myself if you had named them as requested.

Show me where I ever mentioned pubs or ports that either of us had been too ?? you have literally made that up.

 Not remotely interested and never asked you for any of that so utterly irrelevant again just BS.

Pointing out the utter stupidity of the comment by another antagonist regarding information security.

I’ve already answered that one, that is an incorrect assumption on your part not mine.

You volunteered far more utterly irrelevant detail and information than I ever asked for or indeed wanted in the original question put to you and now are complaining about the information you yourself provided. 
I suggest going back and reread the original post lad. I’m not the one digging here. 
Guilty as charged for being a cheeky twat at the beginning by calling you a fool maybe but 🤷‍♂️🤔.
