It is truly disheartening when your son is diagnosed with a developmental disorder (my son was; though not full-blown autism).
But you do accept it; and would I change anything now? Hard to say.

Autism inherited? Impossible says a website devoted to ranting about mercury in vaccines and fillings in teeth and fish and just about everything else.

Considering all the $$$ BLOWN on lawsuits against the vaccine companies with claims that the preservatives cause autism this is really a tragedy. This finding strongly suggests a genetic correlation that may lead to a conclusion that naughty genes are the cause. Too bad for the vaccine companies and lawyers.

Unless there was a sudden genetic change across the nation why have the number of cases gone up? Well, it might be because of looser diagnostic requirements or it could be because of some new enviromental causes. It could also be that a genetic defect makes you more vulnerable to the enviromental cause.

Everything I've ever read says that you can inherit a predisposition towards autism, and that it's triggered by some environmental factor.
That's what happened to my son; he was diagnosed with rather large levels of toxic metals (not from vaccines), because he had a genetic predisposition to being vulnerable to them.

It might be interesting to see if Donor X had been used to produce other children. It could indicate a pattern that would be more useful than another lawsuit.

I don’t promote such websites but simply use your google button, you’ll get there.

She really wanted some Rodney Dangerfield but they ran out of him a long time ago.
Nevertheless, there are a lot of kids running around today who don’t get no respect.

The number of autism cases has gone up because of Socialism. They get more money if the kid is diagnosed as autistic so many kids that were borderline and wouldn’t have been considered autistic before are now considered autistic.

Then the donor’s name could still have been Wayne King.

The genes responsible for autism are not necessarily “naughty” genes. There is almost certainly an advantage to having these genes in one copy rather than two (perhaps the math skills without the brain rigidity that leads to social abnormality); thus their continued presence in human populations.
Alternatively there may be a continuum in human beings between ‘artistic’ and ‘mathematic’ or some such; and for the majority of people to be born in the middle a good healthy amount of both traits, some are going to be fantastically flaky and others will insist on watching Wopner at 6 no matter what!
