Maternal obesity, diabetes associated with autism, other developmental disorders

I call false.

Both moms I know with autistic children are fit thin and one is a lawyer married to a doctor. I think this article is designed to blame the parents as being fat and stupid for autism.

This is not right.

I have a severely autistic son. He is now 23 years old. I was very trim person when I got pregnant but did have gestational diabetes with him. I am not normally diabetic. I lost all my weight very fast. I had gestational diabetes with our second son and he is fine as can be. Autism is very real. There is a HUGE difference than Autism and having a child that falls in the “autism spectrum syndrome”. I wish some of the parents would count their lucky stars and just be happy with their child. My son is lovely but so much is lost because he barely speaks.

Whatever it is has to be environmental and not genetic, the Haldane problem prohibits anything spreading that fast due to genetics. It has to be some large change, possibly vaccinations, possibly changing from an electrical world to an electronic world, I don’t know if there’s anything else to add to such a list.

(First do not smoke; nor do I have any children; family who suffer from autism. . .and none; including myself; are obese.)

And NOT to say as well; that none of the aforementioned never play a role in disease! Just saying; Government in 'overkill'/ and overdrive when it comes to ascribing blame for every ill and/or challenge we face; while the Government itself; plays the role of the guiltless, 'good parent'.

So it goes; our Gov spreading guilt like soft peanut butter on bread and only they are allowed to eat without 'conscience' interfering. And they cannot bring up enough 'examples' to bring their agenda home.

*******************

Suggest; as often do; checking out/reading the book; Dr. Mary's Monkey. Or just google SV 40 or 'Simeon Virus 40.

****************

A 'read' that brings home; that we have both 'right and reason' to be suspicious of our Government; as it explains the rise of cancer stats and other neuro-degenerative diseases notably; per younger population being susceptible.

Certainly gives 'reason' for all parents to be mindful of vaccines; their delivery by age; the number of 'combinations'; and their content. ************************

The book explains the desire in early sixty's (and no doubt beyond) for an assassination plan against Castro - by fast acting cancer; which by turn; becomes the nexus of book and whereby, a number of interests, come into critical play. (Hence, Chavez's accusation that his cancer an attempt on his life by CIA. And why, for that matter Jack Ruby (took life of Lee Harvey Oswald; post Kennedy assasination)imagined same; including up until his death - by fast acting cancer).

No, that is incorrect. Some (but not all) of these conditions are associated with obesity. Correlation does not prove causation. Many of these conditions have a strong genetic link, and believe it or not, there are plenty of slender people with hypertension, cancer, gallbladder disease, and everything else on your list.

These studies set out to get certain results. No one should be surprised when they get what they want. It keeps the funding flowing.

I don’t think the study said that all kids on the autism spectrum have mothers who are overweight or have Type II diabetes (or both). I think they said the risk was significantly increased.

Your example of 2 kids isn’t much to go on to try to claim that the research is false.

Anecdotal...

[RavenATB]

Most experts believe it’s a combination of factors...not just one single factor.

[varmintman]

Are other countries experiencing the same thing, or just the US or just industrialized nations, or what exactly?

Lyme disease is so much more than joint problems. There are over 200 symptoms associated with Lyme disease. Brain and nerve problems are very much a part of Lyme Disease. Here is an article showing some of the symptom overlap

Thanks for the link; I know untreated Lyme disease spreads far & wide in the central nervous system. Here in NJ one of our previous governors had it (and to me it is sufficient reason to kill every deer in the state; I know other animals carry them, but they are #1).
