How This Works

This post is for Nicole who is getting her PhD. While I may not have a advanced degree in this field, I certainly know when there is deliberate deception going on. The CDC, FDA, AMA, ADA, all of the major pharma companies are all helping to try to sweep this issue under the carpet. Thimerasol is 49.6% ethyl mercury by weight. That is a undeniable fact! MERCURY IN ANY FORM IS THE SECOND MOST TOXIC SUBSTANCE KNOW TO HUMAN BEINGS ON THE FACE OF THIS PLANET!!! It took 5 years to convince me that this is all true, and more evidence is revealed every day. I have never said vaccines cause autism, but I will say without doubt that my son was POISONED BY THE THIMERASOL IN THEM!!! I hope that this never directly affects anyone in your family. As with most people I have met including physicians it took that to convince them. My son developed normally for the first 21 months of his life. After getting 3 vaccines we lost him within 48 hours. THERE IS NO ONE OUT THERE THAT CAN GIVE MY SON BACK HIS LOST CHILDHOOD!!!

I too, have someone in our family with Autism. My grandson, who is 9. With each year, it affect him more. He's in therpy, but most people just push him aside, and make fun of him. He's a very smart boy, and I love him so much.

We need to get our insurance companies to recognize this terrible thing that all our little ones are afflicted with no fault of theirs or their parents. WE NEED HELP............ A Loveing GRANDMA with a BROKEN HEART!

My son is now 21 years old. He was diagnosed at age 2 when Autism affected 1 in 100,000. He still lives at home but is self-sufficient, makes himself food to eat, has a part-time job. I can tell you that the school system in Fort Bend County, Texas played a major role in his development. To all of those who never gave up on him, to his siblings who loved him in spite of all they had to endure and to those who think that there is no help, keep on going. My son is proof that good things do come. When he was diagnosed with Autism, he was also diagnosed as profoundly retarded and he was mute until the age of 5. Continue on your path, there is hope and there is a wonderful doctor in Tyler, Texas that provided us with more support than we could have hoped for!

Children with or without special needs have a life time to grow up. All of us do the best we can or are capable of doing, to help them through as much independance as they will ever have. Who is the more successful adult? The prom queen, valedictorian, sport super star, who becomes a lawyer and becomes addicted to barbituates raising the 2.0 family because she burns out from being "perfect", or the young disabled autistic girl, who has friends, goes to school and camp, does her best, works as a pre-school classroom aide and lives with help, with her autistic brother in a happy fullfilled home. You judge. A legacy of problems to pass on to the children raised by a high-class addict mom, or preschoolers who are impacted by the care and extraordinary patience and attentiveness of a young woman who doesn't judge and accepts unconditionally. The world is full of people who are overachievers and burn out, and special needs children often start slow and shine brightly. Good vaccine safety has been available if not published or promoted for over twenty years. -Get vaccinated -Vaccinate a well child (no coughs/colds/fever) -No vaccines with thimeresol (no flu vaccine) -Seperate out everything, (especially at 18M) Measels, Mumps and Rubella seperate (does not apply to PPD) -For all innoculations after initial have a titer test run to identify which antibodies are still present and in sufficient quantities and do not require additional innoculation. Keep fighting the good fight because we all belong in this crazy mixed up world where success and happiness are often misjudged and misplaced.

I believe the major cause is the vaccines, READ ROBERT F. KENNEDY'S JR. (DEADLY AMMUNITY) IT EXPLAINS ALOT! AND THE REASON AUTISM TREATMENTS AREN'T COVERED BY INSURANCE IS BECAUSE THE WAY WE RECOVER THEM, WE DO CHELATION, DIETS, SUPPLEMENTS, AND WITH CHELATION CHILDREN HEAL SO WELL BECAUSE WE TAKE THE DAM TOXINS OUT OF THE BODY THAT THE VACCINES PUT IN THERE, IT'S NO SECRET OUR GOVERNMENTS CORRUPTED, IN 1983 OUR CHILDREN WERE GIVEN 10 SHOTS! AUTISM WAS 1 IN 10,000, NOW THEY RECIEVE 36 SHOTS! AUTISM IS 1 OUT OF 150 SOME BELIEVE 1 OUT OF 64! WAKE-UP AND TRUST YOURSELF! NOT THE GOVERNMENT OR YOUR DOCTOR! I'M NOT RICH BUT ME AND MY HUBBY FIND WAYS TO PAY FOR MY SON'S MEDICAL EXPENSIVES AND AUTISM SCHOOL, YOU GOTTA DO WHAT YOU GOTTA DO

I would like to say this video is very real in what a parent goes thru. for NICOLE who posted her beliefs, let me tell you this is what it is , parents are told wait and see what happens if these doctors where all educated about autism there diagnosis would be alot sooner and a whole less stress for parents, you see i have a son who was diagnosed at 3 and believe it or not after my son went to a childrens hospital and was diagnosed my sons primary doctor asks me questions about autism she knew nothing about my sons condition so yes best thing i did was get a new doctor. i know the vaccines have a part in autism do you not read a woman just won a big case saying just that mercury in the vaccines have contributed to AUTISM and you should do some more research because no one is saying do get immunizations they need to be altered for different weights of children and spaced out yeah my son had 9 all at once because the month before he was sick (ear infections, asthma so on) you have no idea whats it like for a parent to raise a child who has autism. And you dont know anything, autism is caused by some form of the vaccination because people would not win these big cases in federal court saying mercury caused there daughters autism. You need to look a little harder..Oh yeah it was on tv with katy couric. you should be doing more to help like look up autism speaks and donate or do a walk or order things to support the awareness of AUTISM

As a new father to a baby girl I was a little aware of autism. To be honest I didn't give the disease much thought. This video made me cry and pay attention. I am not blind to autism anymore.

I think that insurance companies should provide care for people with autism. I have had epilepsy for 26 years, since the age of 6 and I know some people who are having, just like you insurance issues b/c they will not accept epilepsy. With the new Americans with Disabilities Act of 2008 that should not be a problem for your insurance to cover the cost of doctor visits, medications and so forth. I know first had that medication and doctor visits, ER visits are not cheap. I wish there was another solution to all of this than waiting especially two years. I will keep you in my prayers and hope that you along with thousands of other people will someday be cured from their disorder.

I am a respite babysitter for children with autism, and have worked closely with many children and families with autism. I am also getting my PhD in pathology at UCLA. I wanted to point out that, so far, there is no scientific or clinical evidence that vaccinations, thimerosal, or mercury have any link to the development of autism. The cause of autism is unknown. The initial link between the MMR vaccine and autism was drawn by a study which had FAR too few subjects to draw significant conclusions, and was compounded by the fact that children receive this vaccine around the same time that the symptoms of autism become apparent. The conclusions of the study were in fact retracted. I want to stress that THE CAUSE OF AUTISM IS UNKNOWN. It is unfair to parents that there is a need in the scientific community to inflate findings and to create an aura of importance in order to secure more funding. Laypersons in the community who are await breakthroughs by the medical community do not have the experience necessary to judge whether a scientific claim represents a real cure, or whether the claim is essentially just hype. The supposed link between autism and vaccines with thimerosal is an example of this kind of hype, and many parents afraid of autism did not vaccinate their children, to the ultimate detriment of the children. Gerald Fischbach, Scientific Director of the Simons Foundation, an organization that seeks to fund research in basic sciences and mathematics, including autism research, noted “There is no epidemiological evidence of a link between vaccination and the development of autism, and it is exceedingly unwise not to have your child vaccinated, as the consequences of this can be devastating, not just for the unvaccinated child but also others in the community.”

There is hope! I have a 3 year old son, Dinis, who was diagnosed at the age of 2. For the past 9 months he has been under therapy. He is my prince and the light of my eyes and what I wanted most was for him to greet me as mummy and hug me tenderly. He does that now and a lot more too. He has developed his mental age vs chronological age going from 50% a year ago, to 80% now. He already says 4 word sentences, can use tools, and plays laughing out loud with other children. So, don't give up on your own princess and don't wait 2 years. I was told that part of the success with Dinis was probably due to the fact that we started therapy early on when his brain was still very "elastic" and blank... the more you wait, the harder it will be to reverse the neurological space which will be occupied with tantrums and other things. Fight the system, call it "speach therapy", or "physiotherapy" or whatever other therapy is supported by your insurance company, because it will be used for sure on your daughter any way, but DO NOT wait 2 years to get her into therapy. There is hope !

Reminds me of my precious little girl. We must fight for our chidren so that they get the early intervention so badly needed. Never stop. Don't let your child slip through the cracks, advocate for your child! Therapy for autistic individuals should be accessible for ALL not just the wealthy!

Since it can happen to any one child or adult, of any race, creed, religion, gender, and so forth, help find a cure, a remedy, or some sort of "Magic Potion". Watch this and help fight. It's a fight for our people, and people around the world. Help, please, you just never know... ...you may be the one asking for the help.

Because Autism is so misundersood and groups are divided re: vaccines and hereditary we keep getting frustrated, anxious and depressed. The internet does more harm than aything else. My son was diagnosed at 4 almost a year now and I am grateful for the the fact that up until that point we did everything the same as our "typical child". The news stunned me for a moment, but I moved on. As parents it's hard I know but we have got to get focused and not obsessed. Let's help our children to become independent and care for themselves. Let's continue to raise them as typical children as hard as that may be. Just because a child is disabled does not mean they cannot learn, it's quite the opposite, they are processing and soaking up everything. But if we get frustrated they get frustrated. Autism is not a death threat. It just says my child is different and has a condition. There are parents who are suffering everyday with very sick children and face far worse than we do. I am not downplaying the importance of advocating for our children, we all have a purpose, figure out what your childs passion is and work from there. Non-verbal children can communicate with their eyes and learn sign language or how to use the computer. Always remember that through the stims, the tantrums, the hyperactivity your child can comprehends everything going on around them. Everyday Keep talking, keep teaching and keep faith alive.
