This finding that babies as young as 2 months can be detected to have autism way before any vaccinations would seem to further debunk the already discredited claims that the recent increase in detected autism rates was linked to mercury in vaccinations.

Excellent point!

It will give the babykillers another reason to convince women to murder their unborn. Just wait and watch.

I never heard of autism growing up. Why is it so prevalent now?

[Halls]

I believe Autism is due to food allergies and food sensitivities. I believe Naturopath is the best way to treat it.

But he added this could be seen only with sophisticated technology and would not be visible to parents.

This whole study has a bit of a hokey feel to it and I wouldn't put much credence in it.

First of all, it involved only a total of 110 kids and they knew, going in, which would be more likely to develop autism.

Then, after they were all diagnosed with autism, the researchers went back and looked at their data and then identified the pattern "predicting" autism retroactively.

I'm not saying it's completely full of crap, but I'm reserving a good deal of skeptism. Let's see some success actually predicting autism in children, rather than going back and finding the indicators after the diagnosis.

It’s never too early to drug people up.

It’s never too early to start drugging them up.

...would seem to further debunk the already discredited claims that the recent increase in detected autism rates was linked to mercury in vaccinations.

Really? Then why is it that autism really seems to rear it's head when the child is around two years of age, after after having had a slew of vaccines?

Babies get vaccinated on their first day of life.

HepB then and depending on the state, again at 1m.

Plus pregnant women are getting (my OB insisted) flu shots and DTaP shots as well.

Family doctors are often the last ones to diagnose it. I guess they assume the sick kids are uncooperative and are too busy wanting to get onto the next patient. Our son was not diagnosed until late in his teens, while for a long time having symptoms. We just thought he was a little slow and would catchup - not so. There is more to it then just pharmaceutical companies wanting to make money or more knowledge on the subject.

If you believe in autism that is. My foreign friends seem to all be utterly amazed at how many people here claim to have autistic, ADDHD, asbhergers, etc etc,, kids.

American moms have slipped into a delusion as grand as phrenology, and finding killers by looking for the last image which HAD to be locked into the dead persons eyes.
Its nuts.
