Don't forget diet soda & aspartame consumption from mothers being linked to male autism

That's a really fucking weird take. It's widely recognised that ASD and ADHD go massively under diagnosed in females. The fact that they don't refer to this when raising it in the introduction shows they've got an anti-naurodivergent agenda.

It's not my paper, but:
This paper is mostly good at saying we need more research here - the CIs on those odds ratios are big.
Systematic under diagnosis would increase the chances of a null result for females
Why does this imply an anti-neurodivergent agenda?
There have been a lot of questions about why autism is more prevalent now than before (is it having a label and discussing tools, envoronmental factors, etc?). We're seeing a lot of scapegoating, conspiracy theories, and misinformation about this issue. Having at least some evidence that yes environmental changes can affect ASD is important to understanding it.
