Sorry, it's been dead on here for a while. I'm currently in graduate school for linguistics, and I don't know how active I'll be on here over the coming months either.
That said, I always have time to post new profiles if you'll only take the time to answer my short list of questions. I'd prefer a photo to make the profile more personal and interesting, but you don't even have to supply a name. You can even post your answers as an anonymous comment if you're concerned about complete anonymity. Whether you answer for yourself, a loved one, or just pass the link onto somebody else, I'd really appreciate your help to get this project rolling!
My original intent for this blog was to be a collection of profiles of people with some form of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), including Asperger's syndrome. I only have a handful of profiles so far, and I'm really hoping to get more from you guys so I can get a better picture of the full spectrum of autistic disorders - what autistic individuals all have in common and what they don't - and share that picture with the general public. I'm particularly interested in the possibility that the autistic brain itself is not deficient at all, but is particularly susceptible to certain outside elements (gluten, mercury, aluminum, antibiotics...), which turns a perfectly natural difference into a true disorder.
Another blog I maintain, LP Notes has been overlapping with this one more and more lately. Call me paranoid, but it really seems to me that people with autistic/Aspergian genes are being intentionally marginalized and subdued. Regardless of your views on this issue, if you think there might be a connection between the ever-increasing amount of vaccinations we're virtually forced to subject our children to and the sharp rise in the prevalence of autism - or if you'd just prefer to make your own decisions about what goes into your body - please take a look at this recent post on forced vaccinations and sign the petition against such practices.

The amount of "junk" found in these vaccinations when they're actually scrutinized is appalling. It really does make me wonder if there's a some sort of conspiracy going on within pharmaceutical companies to provide themselves with more money making opportunities.
ReplyDeleteI actually disagree.... there's really no evidence that there's link between vaccinations and autism. And, having Asperger's, I care.
ReplyDeleteOther poisons in the environment? Unfortunately, yes, that's perfectly likely, and nobody's studied it. Vaccines are really not the most likely source of poisoning as a child -- or even *in the womb* -- *far from it*. There's evidence that any toxins consumed by a pregnant woman get concentrated in the fetus -- how's *that* for a possible early, brain-altering dose of heavy metals?
To me, the amount of junk in the vaccines and the increasing number of shots we're being virtually required by law the give our children is something to be alarmed about regardless of whether a clear link to autism can or cannot be demonstrated. (Many say it can't; many argue it can.)
ReplyDeleteThat said, I do agree with "Anonymous" that "other poisons" in the environment (for example, in our diet) are probably a bigger problem than vaccinations right now. The thing that really scares me is that if any of the poisoning going on is at all intentional, then mass injections with a stated "minimal risk" are an easy way to get rid of certain types of people without anyone noticing what's really going on.
In short, no I wouldn't say vaccines are the #1 cause of autism, but I would say that they seem to be part of the problem. And they could easily become a much bigger problem if we continue to let our government dictate what goes into our bodies.
