Context needed Article is from The Telegraph: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/07/20/severe-autism-can-be-reversed-groundbreaking-study-suggests/ However the study only consists of a sample size of 2 girls at 3 years old. Nowhere near enough evidence to draw any conclusions. https://catalogofbias.org/biases/wrong-sample-size-bias/ https://survicate.com/blog/survey-sample-size/ Autism cannot be reversed.

Original Tweet

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1815822933526470770

Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
