How did you get your autism?

Post Reply New Topic

Radiation poisoning from overexposure to analogue clocks with glow in the dark metals and smoke-detectors. And because i used a MAC when i was 15...

On a more serious note, my belief is that some ASD cases are environmental and some are obviously genetic. Rhetts can obviously not be caught of a "toilet seat in a tijuana busstation" but i'm not sure that the "silicon valley" idea is invalid because some claim it is genetic.

I think that the human body over just one generation evolve and does micro adjustments to its environment and sometimes that adjustment comes out a bit out of synch.

Ear infections? Vaccine? Give me a f*****g break.

When a baby keeps getting ear infections, it effects their development and causes their brain to take different pathways.
Ear infections can cause hearing loss and that's how it happens. If the child was real young, lets say infant, it will effect their development and make their minds be wired differently.

Plus I have read it's common in autistic kids to have ear infections.

^ It was a topic covered during the diagnosis.

I did not know that. I thought it was cuz being hard of hearing could cause some of the autism symptoms & autism is a mental thing so physical causes have to be ruled out. It's part of the rezone why I could not get an official AS diagnoses because I have vision problems(very nearsighted & have some colorblindness). I was also told by experts that autism is something people have to be born with & it can NOT be caused by things like brain injuries so wouldn't having a cause like an ear-infection; rule out autism
I think the so-called experts are dumb A-holes

I would say that I was born with it. Indeed, the science currently shows that it is genetic, and it can be recognized in people as early as 3 years of age nowadays. My autism certainly started to show very early on, when I was in kindergarten .

Uh... I was born that way.

I was very hard to diagnose. Most people, when they go in to get tested for AS, it only takes them a few sessions or one. With me, it took us a couple months. My psychiatrist wrote he would say I have an ASD, mild. Then he eventually placed me in the AS category saying it was the closest match.

But at two years old, doctors were saying I had autism and my parents didn't buy it. They were aware of my hearing loss but they still said I had it. Then there was one doctor mom took me too when I was a year and a half and this was before I had tubes put in and right away he said I had autism before my mom even told him about my medical history so she just thanked him for his opinion and left. She never took me to him again.

Deaf children also share the same characteristics as autistic kids so you're right. But there are also autistic people out there who also suffer hearing loss. I have an aspie friend who has hearing loss, he was born with it. He is deaf in one hear 100% and 40% in the other ear so he wears hearing aids. He also told me he had a speech and development delay. Then I know someone in my are who runs the local ASAN group and she also has AS and is also deaf. And I have another online friend who told me she was deaf too in her early childhood and she also has AS. I think she said she also got it from ear infections.

My mother did have a difficult birth which I read on a report that I found.It was either that or I just coughed up my NT-isms.

I got it from my mum. You know what they said about our mothers, in the 50s and 60s.

Wow they really do sell everything there .

I didnt have any ear infections or traumatic birth but my Gramps and my Mother, Auntie and brothers were and are weird and I was always weird so now its called Aspergers. I do believe that Autism is genetic and there is far more proof of that however I think there are types of Autism that may be caused by something else, like regressive Autism. Its not only my theory there are other including Temple Grandin who believes that these types of Autism should be better studied. I strongly believe that my daughters Autism and my older daughter, me and my son's Aspergers is completely genetic.

I was probably born with it because a great grandmother had traits, and I'm sure there are other ancestors who could have been on the spectrum. I was maybe a week early or so, but the doctor still used forceps to deliver me as he thought the labor was taking too long. I also had seizures as an infant that somehow went away when I was a toddler. The only thing about vaccines is that for some reason, the full dose of the mumps vaccine didn't work, so I ended up having it.

From the Luciferian cabal that secretly rules the world.

A cheerio I ate of the floor forty years ago. I forgot to consider it had been there longer than five seconds. Haven't been right since.

Oh. And if you're an NT reading this, you might want to go wash your eyes out after reading this. You have ten minutes. Otherwise you'll catch it too.

I'm a strong believer in the testosterone hypothesis, and I think it explains where my AS came from. There is no AS in my family genetically speaking. I'm the only one. My birth wasn't traumatic, other than the fact that I was 11 days late and my mom needed to be induced. I think my AS could have come from the fact that my mom had to take steroids when she was pregnant with me, for a severe case of poison ivy. It all makes sense to me.

I contracted ESISV (Early Speaking in Sentences Virus) shortly after birth, and as a result, didn't get as much observation time before making my desires known to the world.

Mercury in my fillings

Nah, it's hereditary. But I do have a bunch of amalgam (~3% mercury) fillings, and will be getting more in the near future.
