Could the increase of the number of vaccines have a link with the increase of Autism in The United States?

"V.K. Singh, a respected Indian doctor and professor of organic chemistry, has been studying autoimmune disorders and autism and vaccines for the better part of 20 years. Byron Richards is a founding member of the International and American Associations of Clinical Nutritionists and the director of Wellness Resources, Inc. This article leans heavily on both of their bodies of work.)"

Its environmental with a genetic component! Parents with affected kids want to blame anything but them selves! They can't stand that they can not make normal kids. Thats great that they are finding more treatment options for these kids.

Didn't we already cover this?

Maybe if we keep saying it over and over it will come true!!

So what does the vaccine link to autism mean for the children with autism who were never vaccinated???!

""In several cases, electron microscopy has revealed live measles virus in the intestinal lining of children with the gastrointestinal abnormalities common in children with autism." Translation: a significant number of kids have live measles in their guts - and a statistically-significant number of those kids have autism. If Singh's measles-induced-autism theory is correct, it means that lots more children were almost autistic, but avoided that fate through some unrecognized mechanism."

The fact that fewer and fewer people are vaxing, while at the same time autism diagnoses are increasing points away from vaxes as a cause for it. There has always been a 1-in-10,000 chance that neurological damage can be caused by vaxes, so yes it does happen very rarely.

I remember doing a report on autism in college and at that time the term autism was used for only the most severe introverted type children who could not be reached by the outside world. Today they totally changed the criteria and meaning, having included a whole spectrum of symptoms. In doing this you are going to have a huge difference in the numbers of children diagnosed.

I'm subscribing to the mostly genetic theory. I believe that we are "finding" more cases of autism simply because the science has grown tremendously, and the doctors can diagnose it more easily, as well as the fact that the spectrum of the autism disorder has grown, and what would have been written off before as a learning disability (for example) is NOW considered autism in some degree.
