This is an epidemic and the epidemiology fits toxin exposure from vaccinations.

My personal theory: the vaccines contain some form of bio-available aluminum.

As the father of a profoundly Autistic 13 yr old boy, the ever expanding definition of Autism causes me concern. I am utterly appreciative of the therapists who have worked with my son. However, expanding the definition has the affect of dismissing the diagnosis. Every engineer (I R 1) and math major would be included and I disagree with that.

That all said, there is an increasing population of truly Autistic kids based on my observation.

I should have been more specific in my last comment.

Asperger’s not full blown Autism, is what I meant to say.

I am not 100% convinced they are directly related.

Aluminum is one of the most common metals in the environment.

“The new adhd “ This is right on the mark. Sight and say, whole language CREATED functional illiteracy .Recall that a much higher number of boys suffer and end up on drugs. Girls learn to read phonetically almost naturally, and escape the diagnosis and the resulting dumbing down.
Is this being done DELIBERATELY? YES!!! Hard to believe? YES!!

IIRC, several months or a year(s) ago, there were reports that Autism, ADD, etc., were linked to the possibility of mothers having sonograms and/or amnio before the baby was born. It actually made a lot of sense. But if you weren’t paying attention that day you missed it. As quickly as the reports came up, they were scrubbed; I don’t think they lasted more than two days. Big bucks in those procedures. Probably some goofy conspiracy theory, but it does seem that as ultrasounds became more prevalent, so did autism. Hmmm...

Just like obesity, they changed the definition to fit the policy agenda.

For those of you who believe that autism and it’s disorders are something of the imagination,be thankfull that your child doesn’t have a problem with that issue.

My son was born a normal,became a very smart toddler and up through about the age of five that’s when my wife and I began to see things going wrong.He became socially withdrawn,Not wanting to go out side to play.

He did go to school though,whether willingly or not I have no Idea since he was being bullied there.He graduated from high school and we were sending him off too college but he became so socially withdrawn that he dropped out.

Now my son is as smart as can be but it’s frustrating knowing that there is nothing we can do to get him on a path to a career.Thats something he’s going to have to do on his own.

He has had a lot of life skills training and has learned to cook,clean and care for himself but he still acts like a teenager in a lot of ways.In a sense that’s good,In that he is sensitive toward others.

One thing this country needs is employers who understand that people who have aspergers syndrome are On the very high end of the autism spectrum and they would make excellent employees.That is if placed in the right job.

My son could be locked in a room with a computer for hours and be wouldn’t complain at all.

All they need is someone who knows how to communicate with them.

The old Conservative principle applies:
If you want less of something, tax it.
If you want more of something, subsidize it.

Currently, a lot of dollars are being thrown at ADHD and at Austism. It should not surprise anyone that the number of sufferers keeps going up. There is an entire industry that wants to "find" people who need treatment.

Case numbers are reported rising, but could this be due more to accuracy in diagnosis, rather than an actual rise?

So, you’re impulsive. When did this become a “disorder”? During the ‘80s as part of the war on men.
Men are impulsive. Boys are impulsive. Boys are easily bored.
Know what got my son on the juice? Staring out the classroom window. Know what that got me? A pointer along the side of my head.
It doesn’t matter if your life is happier with the drugs. Happiness is overrated. It doesn’t matter if you are more able to complete tasks. You are more easily controlled. This is a perversion of medicine for an agenda.

Happiness is overrated.

I'm glad you said that. I think it is a profound statement.

I'm a pretty happy person, but I have no expectation that I (or anyone) "deserves" to be happy. There is plenty of stuff wrong with the world. The quest to "fix" everything, and the idea that "if I'm not happy, someone is to blame" are very modern ideas and I don't think they are helping anyone.

Happiness is nice -- but we all need to be preprared to get along without it.

I’m angered at the mama’s who say “Oh, he doesn’t like peas”

Oh no. Now they say “He’s allergic to peas” if the kid doesn’t like them.

God bless you! I see autism and its challenges with a family that is very close to mine. Pre-K twins. The strength, love, and patience it takes to endure and support are incredible and inspirational to me.

These kids might have some symptoms of autism, but they are not autistic IMHO.

Most are probably nothing more than ill-disciplined and badly behaved.
