I don't know...

I'm no expert on genetics, but surely with the right input, genes can indeed give a different output. Actual proper genetic mutation may not need to occur - just enough masking to alter the output, as such. And if that's the case, the right input could revert things again.

Things like massive radiation etc can alter genetics very quickly (OK, so it's more of a breakdown!), but on a small scale, tiny breakdowns are still genetic changes.

Do you have an alternative idea if it's not genetic change or masking? I'm curious. Thanks.

Epigenetics could explain some of the increase in autism. Also aluminium is stored in the bones, and is mobilized when a woman is pregnant. Some of

this aluminium ends up in the fetus. It is possible that the aluminium present, plus immune activation during pregnancy or early life transports enough aluminium into the brain to cause autism. And there are studies showing that immune activation and IL-6 and IL-17 cytokines can cause autism. However, since immune activation has been going on for the entirety of human history, but no one noticed autism until the 1940's (aluminium was introduced to the diphtheria vaccine around 1930), my working hypothesis is that aluminium or some other toxin is causing the dramatic rise in autism, probably with epigenetic effects thrown in. This video on epigenetics in cattle breeding is fascinating and terrifying, especially when you apply the concepts to the Covid gene therapies. Igor if you happen to read this you should make the time to watch this video.
