> EPA Chief Scott Pruitt Chooses Not to Ban Insecticide Despite Autism Risk

That is not the title of the article, and the article itself makes no mention of Autism. Please do not editorialize in the submissions, especially about flamebait topics like Autism and Trump's new EPA head. It's like this was specifically crafted to mess with people.

Thanks, we've reverted the title from the submitted “EPA Chief Scott Pruitt Chooses Not to Ban Insecticide Despite Autism Risk”.
There is an autism link here:

Just because the article doesn't mention it, doesn't mean its not true.

Whether it's true or not, it is inappropriate to put it in the title like that when the article does not.

A comment here pointing out the link with a reference is the appropriate place for that.
