“One in 68 children now has autism.”
No freaking way!
1 in 68 have parents that hate children being children so they medicate them. Schools love it because they get money for calling a child autistic and medicating.
Go ahead and stick your head in the sand if you must.

It is not just autism, there are many other issues that plague children today including paralysis, seizures, Asthma, auto immune conditions, chronic pain and even death.
If these things were caused by any other product you would see headlines that read, BREAKING NEWS!! IMMINENT PRODUCT RECALL.
The Rally 4 Truth organizations are citing a multitude of failures, agency corruption and whistleblowers, and clear conflicts of interest within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, particularly the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Over $3.6 billion in federal compensation has already been paid out in awards to vaccine injured victims and their families by the U.S. Court of Federal Claims under the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act that created the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (dubbed the Vaccine Court). Vaccine safety and choice advocates are asking President Trump to create a separate, independent agency to fully evaluate and monitor vaccine safety.

As a former school board member of a smallish (500-1,000 students in the district, K-12) school district, I will tell you in no uncertain terms that the best way to blow up the annual budget is to have a seriously autistic, older, child move into the district mid-year.
After a few pathetic attempts to integrate such a student into the general classroom, the decision is often made to hire a full-time aide and to isolate the child in his own room whenever deemed necessary. Now, these are the cases where the child tends toward violence when upset, mind you, and not all autistic kids become violent.
But you’re way off-base if you really think that school district personnel look greedily at an incoming autistic child, hoping to cash in on a funding bonanza as a result. Quite the opposite, not to mention the effect it has on the overall education of the other students affected by his behavior.
(To those with autistic children, I’m not saying your child becomes violent when upset, but some do, as you know.)
And, for the record, I’m for vaccinating, but am also concerned that the way we vaccinate certain children should be changed in the interest of their personal safety. Adults can make up their own minds about flu and pneumonia vaccinations, but a toddler has no choice in the matter and some of them are clearly affected adversely by the current vaccination regimen. This is just not an all or none issue as many vaccination proponents seem to want to treat it, and you should know better than to treat it as one.
