# Claim table — Allie Christine autism/Amish Reel

| Claim | Evidence captured | PBC label |
|---|---|---|
| “Autism isn’t genetic.” | NIEHS says rare gene changes, common genetic variations and family/twin factors imply a genetic component; MedlinePlus says genes and environment both play roles. | Not supported. |
| Autism is a single “man-made epidemic.” | Autism prevalence has risen; sources describe complex recognition/diagnosis plus multifactorial causes. | Overstated / not established. |
| Amish have no autism. | Reel asserts Amish are free of autism; PubMed search for “Amish autism prevalence” returned 0 results in this capture. | Not established. |
| Amish have no obesity, cancer, diabetes, infertility or metabolic sickness. | Reel audio says this; no source in this pass supports such absolute claims. | Not established; absolute claim implausible without records. |
| Vaccines/“70+ shots” explain autism. | CHOP summarizes many MMR/autism studies finding no association; current CDC page says HHS is reassessing infant-vaccine evidence but does not prove causation. | Not proven by Reel. |
| Tylenol/acetaminophen in pregnancy causes autism. | ACOG says claims tying acetaminophen to autism are misinformation and not backed by the full evidence; CHOP says largest/best-controlled studies do not find association. | Not established. |
| Food dyes/GMOs/tap water cause autism. | Reel gives no source; NIEHS studies some environmental risk factors, but that is not proof of the Reel’s broad list. | Not established. |
| Detox “reverses” autism. | CDC/NICHD describe treatments that support functioning and skills; NCCIH warns unapproved chelation products can have serious side effects. | Unsupported and potentially risky. |
