pl3bscheese is right in a sense. It might not be a "human" way to think but, we are letting the weak thrive and multiply too much and eventually, this will weaken our species.

Sure, because studies by the government and the drug companies are to be trusted. Gotcha.
Second line.

Correlation isn't causation...
Autism is an ever increasing problem in the United States. Characterized by multiple deficits in the areas of communication, development, and behavior; autistic children are found in every community in this country and abroad. Recent findings point to a significant increase in autism which can not be accounted for by means such as misclassification. The state of California recently reported a 273% increase in the number of cases between 1987 and 1998. Many possible causes have been proposed which range from genetics to environment, with a combination of the two most likely. Since the introduction of clavulanate/amoxicillin in the 1980s there has been the increase in numbers of cases of autism. In this study 206 children under the age of three years with autism were screened by means of a detailed case history. A significant commonality was discerned and that being the level of chronic otitis media. These children were found to have a mean number 9.96 bouts of otitis media (with a standard error of the mean of +/-1.83). This represents a sum total for all 206 children of 2052 bouts of otitis media. These children received a mean number of 12.04 courses of antibiotics (standard error of the mean of +/-.125). The sum total number of courses of antibiotics given to all 206 children was 2480. Of those 893 courses were Augmentin. with 362 of these Augmentin courses administered under the age of one year.
Do chemicals produced by gut bacteria affect children with autism? This week, researchers presented findings from a small study that suggests this possibility. They did so at the annual meeting of the American Society for Microbiology, in Boston.
"Most gut bacteria are beneficial, aiding food digestion, producing vitamins, and protecting against harmful bacteria,” says Dae-Wook Kang of the Biodesign Institute of Arizona State University, an author on the new study. “If left unchecked, however, harmful bacteria can excrete dangerous metabolites or disturb a balance in metabolites that can affect the gut and the rest of the body, including the brain."
Research by Dr. Sidney Finegold compared the gut flora of children with regressive ASD to neurotypical children. The results show that clostridial counts were higher in the children with autism. The number of clostridial species found in the stools of children with ASD was greater than in the stools of neurotypical children. Children with ASD had 9 species of Clostridium not found in the neurotypical group. The neurotypical group showed only 3 species not found in children with autism. In all, there were 25 different clostridial species found. In stomach and small intestine specimens, the most striking finding was total absence of Clostridia from neurotypical children and significant numbers of such bacteria from children with autism.
These studies demonstrate significant alterations in the upper and lower intestinal flora of children with late-onset ASD and may provide insights into the nature of this disorder.
Patients with values of HPHPA greater than 500 mmol/mol creatinine in the urine almost always have severe neurological, psychiatric, or gastrointestinal disorders such as autism, severe depression, psychotic behavior or schizophrenia, muscle paralysis, or colitis or sometimes a combination of these disorders. Treatment of a severely autistic child with six weeks of oral Vancomycin therapy resulted in an estimated six months in developmental progress as assessed by a developmental psychologist. Psychotic individuals with high HPHPA have been successfully treated using Vancomycin instead of antipsychotic medication.

Biased much?
could it be that the vaccines are lowering the natural immunity and kids are getting more sick more often and the doctors are over prescribing antibiotics that kill the good flora and the bad flora is taking over like you have talked about...........

Indeed. Here is another correlation for you:
China’s misuse of antibiotics should be curbed
China has a high rate of antibiotic use for inpatients and outpatients. On average, each Chinese person consumes 138 g of antibiotics a year—10 times that consumed in the United States.
Could one of the most widely prescribed antibiotics amoxicillin/clavulanate "augmentin" be a risk factor for autism?

But eh, it's vaccines and anyone claiming otherwise is a big pharma stooge!
Autism Study: More Evidence Linking Altered Gut Bacteria to ASD
Do chemicals produced by gut bacteria affect children with autism? This week, researchers presented findings from a small study that suggests this possibility. They did so at the annual meeting of the American Society for Microbiology, in Boston.
"Most gut bacteria are beneficial, aiding food digestion, producing vitamins, and protecting against harmful bacteria,” says Dae-Wook Kang of the Biodesign Institute of Arizona State University, an author on the new study. “If left unchecked, however, harmful bacteria can excrete dangerous metabolites or disturb a balance in metabolites that can affect the gut and the rest of the body, including the brain."
Could a proliferation of Clostridia bacteria cause autism disorder due to the production of neurotoxins? Could antibiotics favor Clostridia proliferation since they are resistant to antibiotics (when you remove a good bacteria from the ecosystem, you leave room for another one to take its place)?
No it must be vaccines. We all now "they" are trying to poison us with vaccines.
Research by Dr. Sidney Finegold compared the gut flora of children with regressive ASD to neurotypical children. The results show that clostridial counts were higher in the children with autism. The number of clostridial species found in the stools of children with ASD was greater than in the stools of neurotypical children.

Could fighting Clostridia help reduce autism symptoms? No way, autism is caused by vaccines.
Patients with values of HPHPA greater than 500 mmol/mol creatinine in the urine almost always have severe neurological, psychiatric, or gastrointestinal disorders such as autism, severe depression, psychotic behavior or schizophrenia, muscle paralysis, or colitis or sometimes a combination of these disorders.

Lalalalalalala I don't want to hear you it's vaccines, vaccines, vaccines! It cannot be otherwise you are a shill for pretending so!

Right , because science never made a mistake .
But I'll happily take the title if it means having control over what I PUT IN MY BODY.

Coming from the person that claims all medical data that contradicts their opinion is part of a conspiracy? Okey dokey.
