Autism - 50 years ago rare almost non-existant. Today 1 in 150 are Autistic

reply to post by Griffo


Well, I've provided a cite that says clearly otherwise -- that 40% of new diagnoses are explained by widening criteria, but 60% are not. And I can find many other cites supporting it to match your one that doesn't. This is not really a matter of controversy -- science doesn't think it's due to vaccines, but a majority of it does think there's a real, not just perceived, increase in autism.

Autism was not non-existant 50 years ago...in fact Autism has been around probably for thousands of years. Up until the late 1940s they gave it afew other different names.

Today Autism, like ADHD and ADD, is over diagnosed and under diagnosed.

Perhaps we are witnessing the side effects to our so called medical and technological advancements?


How many inoculations,preservatives,synthetics,genetically modified foods can the human body take?

How long can the human body be subjected to the amount of unnatural frequencies our technologically advanced society is bombarding us with?

How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie roll pop?

I submitted two links. One saying that it was due to an increase in diagnosis (now that I look back, it does say 2004 ) The other link stated a genetic factor; another article here indicating a possible genetic link (slightly newer this one)

Autism Study Genetic Causes

In the largest study ever into the genetics of autism, the scientists identified rare genetic variations that were 20% more frequent in children with autism than in children without the disorder. These so-called "copy number variations" (CNVs), which can be missing chunks of DNA or extra copies of sequences in and around genes, occur in less than one in 100 people in the general population.

Thats what Im leaning toward.. that some of us are more susceptible. Its obvious to me this needs to be looked into more just considering what my daughter went through and the incidents on rez.. including 2 of my cousins children.

Glad somebody else realizes this is true also.
Mildly autistic people are geniuses compared to the rest of the population without any side affects of the more popularly diagnosed. As evolution goes we as humans will only evolve in 'brain power' not the Hollywood X-Men abilities that are so glamorous to envy.
People talk about consciousness change occurring due to 2012 or aliens all the time on this site but almost all have overlooked the obvious, this is the only logical next step in evolution. Physical changes take millions of generations to complete, like the little toe disappearing. But neurological or chemical changes may be a bit more radical happening abruptly, like the monkey who picked up a bone to fight with.
There is a 12 year old mildly autistic boy who is about to get his Phd, he is smarter then Einstein and is about to formulate a new theory in physics, what will this boy do by the time he is 50. I just hope he will not be corrupted by the lifestyles american society portrays as normal, that has entangled and derailed so many of us before him.
So don't get your shots and blame the pharmaceutical companies for making kids autistic if you must. BTW, I do hate the pharma industry they are a bunch of greedy leeches, but I also believe in kill one to save a thousand and that is not easy for me to say considering my 2 mth old gets his shots today and my 4 yr old gets hers next week.

Clip from TV Show House:

Young Mother: No formula, just mommy's healthy natural breast milk.

House: Yummy.

Young Mother: Her whole face just got swollen like this overnight.

House: Mmhmm. No fever, glands normal, missing her vaccination dates.

Young Mother: We're not vaccinating.

[Baby giggles and coos]

Young Mother: [Takes a toy frog and starts to make frog sounds]
Gribbit, gribbit, gribbit. [Giggles]

[Baby smiles and giggles too]

House: Think they don't work?

Young Mother: I think some multinational pharmaceutical company wants
me to think they work. Pad their bottom line.

House: Mmmm. May I? [He takes the frog and starts to do the gribbit
noise with the baby]

Young Mother: [Whispered] Sure.

House: Gribbit, gribbit, gribbit. [The baby laughs] All natural no
dies. That's a good business: all-natural children's toys. Those toy
companies, they don't arbitrarily mark up their frogs. They don't lie
about how much they spend in research and development. The worst a toy
company can be accused of is making a really boring frog.

[Young Mother laughs and so does House. The baby giggles again]

House: Gribbit, gribbit, gribbit. You know another really good
business? Teeny tiny baby coffins. You can get them in frog green or
fire engine red. Really. The antibodies in yummy mummy only protect
the kid for 6 months, which is why these companies think they can
gouge you. They think that you'll spend whatever they ask to keep your
kid alive. Want to change things? Prove them wrong. A few hundred
parents like you decide they'd rather let their kid die then cough up
40 bucks for a vaccination, believe me, prices will drop REALLY fast.
Gribbit, gribbit, gribbit, gribbit, gribbit.

Young Mother: Tell me what she has.

House: A cold.

Kind of reminds me of Greg Bears book "Darwin's Radio".

I myself am probably on the Autism spectrum - - but of course being born in 1946 - - there was no diagnoses. I was a weird kid who felt I got dropped off on the wrong planet.

My 3 year old grandson was just tested and said to be on the Spectrum edge. Of course - even though he isn't big on eye contact - - he has taught himself to read from using his computer and watching TV programs. I first noticed when viewing the Direct TV guide - - he would pick out his own shows - - and then tell me which episode he wanted to watch from the text.

If I was to say that this was an attempt to produce a master race, then my beliefs would fall on the side of depopulation in order to rid the world of undesirables.
My personal belief is that this escalation of ASD diagnoses is simply a case of heavy metal toxicity.
The prevalence of heavy metals in our environment that we process on a daily basis is staggering.

And being that it is a spectrum disorder, then it is more than likely to have more and more candidates fall into this category.
Especially when the diagnosis relies on correlations/observations/caretaker bias and not hard science.

As a matter of fact, certain people with genomic anomalies have been found, in a court of law, to be more susceptible to an ASD diagnosis after exposure to certain vaccines.

Government concedes vaccine/autism case in federal court.

So if this was the case. If they were trying to "fleece" our population of undesirables, then my biggest question is...

Why would TPTB want a race of people who have an immunity, per se, to environmental heavy metals?
