Yes, all autistic children have been vaccinated with mercury. Some of them received that vaccine through their mothers before they were born. Of course, some kids who act more like Ari Ne'eman than they act like a real autistic person have been diagnosed with Asperger's, a condition that is not autism. We have a plethora of paid liars who claim that kids like this have autism and that they were not vaccinated. There are lots of liars promoting propaganda in the wacky world of autism.
Nobody has ever found one case of anything that remotely resembles autism in anyone born before 1931. The pack of professional liars associated with blogs that you quote is so dishonest that they equate autism with genius and claim that Thomas Edison and Einstein were autistic. Kanner didn't think these guys were autistic. He recognized autism as something so bizarre that it could never be missed by anyone. But, we do have liars like Kevin Leitch who claims his weird aunt and uncle were autistic because these liars will claim any screwball is autistic to try to prove that something besides mercury causes autism.
There are a few genetic factors in cases that are similar to autism, like Rhetts and fragile x. However, as these conditions have their own names, that in itself tells us that these cases are not autism. Then we have the APO-E4 protein which is the primary genetic factor in autism. We also have cases of mitochondrial disorder that never manifest themselves until mercury is added to the equation. We saw this in the case of Hannah Poling when the court agreed in private that thimerosal had set off the mito problems but sealed the records so they wouldn't have to admit this for the record and open the door for paying out billions. More lies.
Yes, Rubella in pregnancy can cause brain damage that results in behaviors similar to autism. Measles can also cause brain swelling that disables kids. Similar and maybe diagnosed as autism but different. We can test for autism though by doing hair tests for deranged mineral transport to determine the presence of mercury. If our medical profession was honest, they would do this test for every autistic child. Since the test does yield some false negatives though, the best test for mercury poisoning misdiagnosed as autism is to do some chelation and see if behavior improves. If it does improve, we conclude that mercury was was the cause. If not, we have to look elsewhere.

Oh, in your Yahoo group you said that there's evidence of children who have been "cured" by your treatment.
Why then Mr Liar does it state very clearly in the FAQ's
"...As of this writing, no one on this list has completely cured their child..."

Courts awarded money to 81 people on the basis of vaccines causing autism. Would you shut up already? It's quite ironic that you so vehemently oppose him, but never have anything but innuendo to add before ignoring me.edit on 10-12-2012 by VeritasAequitas because: (no reason given)

Wow, that's a lot of berating! I think I'm going to cry. I've seen other liars use lots of words to say absolutely nothing to refute what I say but I think this is the most words I've seen at one time from a degenerate liar who wants desperately to confuse the truth about autism. I don't think there are any fools here who fall for your BS though.

i am unsure that vaccines cause autism. i'm on the spectrum myself, and vaccines are administered around the same time the first symptoms start showing up, so it could be a case of association vs. causation.
just because two things coincide chronologically does not mean that they are a cause and effect pair. autism is passed on genetically, that much is clear, though the precise mechanisms that cause it are completely unknown and only theories exist.
it is folly to say that vaccines cause autism when the base neurological causes of autism aren't even known.

Just curious.
Thus, how could Autism cases even be categorized as "Austism" until the word itself entered the vocabulary?

Perhaps I'm not understanding, but perhaps there was no need for the word "autism" early on because the symtoms attributed to this syndrome didn't occur frequently enough, and only when they started increasing (through vaccines?) did a label become attached.
Yet, at least in the literature review I'm conducting, there is much evidence of the symptoms associated with Autism. Quite a good amount, actually. However, such symptoms were never scrutinized, isolated and then categorized together. Usually the practitioner would write such signs and symptoms of the patient as "being selectively mute", "solitary nature", "prone to social paranoia", "lacks sufficient communication and verbal skills". With a understanding of the overall symptoms of the case, most of the scientific community today would label such a patient as either someone with Autism or another closely related behavioral disorder.
Edit: I'd be glad to hear evidence to the contrary, though. That's what makes this stuff exciting!
