Autism Jumps 57% in Just 4 Years!


www.webmd.com
"Two decades ago we were looking at a prevalence of one in 5,000 children. Now we're looking at one in 100. That really is a staggering increase," Geraldine Dawson, PhD, chief science officer of advocacy group Autism Speaks, tells WebMD. Dawson said the new numbers justify a huge increase in federal spending on research and treatment.

"The question is what will it take for the federal government to begin to respond to this crisis," Dawson says. "President Obama during the election campaign made a promise that there would be a billion dollars spent every year on finding the causes of autism. We feel this kind of data coming from a CDC study really requires that level of response."

It could be thousands of things. I think there is something there with the vaccines. Also could be the processed food and all the additives we eat, if you look at the diet of a toddler now compared to 10, 20, or 30 years ago and you see all this crap they are consuming.

Also, have they looked at the age of parents? New parents are older these days compared to parents who had kids 30 years ago, alot of people having kids up to their 50's now, maybe that has something to do with it.

i absolutely agree about vaccination. its UNBELIEVABLE there is no government study on a possible correlation between vaccines and SIDS, autism and the multitude of " it just happens" diseases.
in fact there is a deathly silence from government concerning that possible link. after much research and debate my wife and i did not vaccinate our 3 children.
why the hell does a newborn need a hep-b shot??? which is uaually transfered through bodily fluid exchange, needles, piercing or tattoing...i can compare my 3 kids to their cousins all which have recieved the full vaccine schedule and my kids are NEVER sick! compared to theirs which get every goddamn germ and bug going around.
my belief is that vaccination achieves a 3-fold purpose....1. it culls the human race 2. it limits our full mental capabilities 3. it generates a billion dollar pharmaceutical inustry
vaccination has a long and glorious history of fraud and imcompetence...but mainly fraud...sv40 anyone?, rotorshield a vaccine which was rushed to market by the FDA without proper testing, caused fatalities and illness, pulled of the shelves within months and then it was discovered that FDA members had financial ties to the rotorshield manufactures.
when my first child was not vaccinated the state health services sent multiple letters and stressed that we would not receive the immunization bonus of $250 payable if kids were fully vaccinated by 2 yrs. that is a SH*T LOAD of mercury to be pumping into little kids...heres a good read over at nexus-magazine..... www.nexusmagazine.com...

is very wrong on every link you have posted.
just so you know

Mercury



The toxicity of mercury has never been in question. The real question is precisely how much mercury-laced thimerosal is toxic, and what are the possible consequences for our children at low doses?


Thimerosal


Thimerosal is the preservative of choice for vaccine manufacturers. First introduced by Eli Lilly and Company in the late 1920s and early 1930s. Thimerosal contains 49.6 percent mercury by weight and is metabolized or degraded into ethylmercury and thiosalicylate. Mercury, or more precisely, ethylmercury, is the principle agent that kills contaminants. Unfortunately, mercury also kills much more than that


Vaccines, I would say are causing this spike in autism. If anyone can find the clip of David Icke talking about it, its a good one to listen to.

Little kids are being Vaccined like crazy these days therefore their Mercury levels are way higher than years gone by.

Do the Drug companies etc know, i'm sure they most likely do. But, whos gonna say anything, its where their profit comes from.

www.naturalnews.com...

Al very interesting and important stuff, but if you want to read a very , very interesting document, please read this -

www.lawyersandsettlements.com...



Due to the flooding of special education classrooms, along with the rising medical costs of treating injured children, local taxes will soon go through the roof, at which time the public will be forced to face the unthinkable truth about the poisoned generation




Before the age of two in this country, children receive at least 20 injections involving twelve diseases. By the time they reach first grade, they have had at least 24 vaccinations, if they are in compliance with the CDC's 2005 Immunization Schedule




But it gets worse. Over the past 15 years, the vaccine scheme has resulted in a full-circle cycle of profits for the pharmaceutical industry. After poisoning an entire generation, drug companies are now making record profits from drugging their victims


I could quote that website all night. Its sickening and it makes me ashamed to be human.

A couple of things have led to increased diagnoses of autism. First the definition of autism has expanded to become Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) so some children (like my BIL) who were merely thought to be smart but really odd and spoke late are now considered autistic. There's better training of doctors so they're catching many kids earlier, which is good because the earlier the intervention the better the outcome. There's the increased awareness of parents. Now some studies I've seen that have taken all that into account still can't explain about 40% of the increase. The 1st cause will really cause the number of ASD cases to increase since the new DSM is lumping Aspergers, PDD_NOS and one other into ASD.

My son is autistic, but he gets it honestly through old fashioned genetics. He was not a regressive case. Once we knew what to look for it was evident that Aspies are prevalent on both sides of the family. For the children who are regressive - developing normally until 18 months or so, then losing speech - there has got to be something else to it. IMHO I believe it's either the entire vaccine load, something in the vaccines beyond the thimerisol (which has been removed) or something like a virus. There was a study done on identical twins where only 1 twin was autistic. Researchers found differences in the RNA of the twins. Something like that could be caused by a virus.

I do not believe it's doctors using it as a catch-all diagnosis. Most doctors are very reluctant to diagnosis autism. It took us 17 months, multiple tests and a second opinion to get an "official" diagnosis.

I could not agree any more with this.
I think cell phones are absolute poison for humans and I believe they not only cause autism but anxiety and panic attacks. You can see that the correlation between all of them and cell use is staggering.

Totally agree aswell. Cellphones are not good. You know it can't be good if it gives out exactly the same radiation as a microwave but on a smaller scale...
