Autism: Maybe It's Not What We've Been Told

Maybe losing fever or just growing older "improve" "symptoms"?

Not that alternative research is bad, but when it's premised on the idea that Autism is symptoms that need to be relieved and when he cited Autism Speaks claim of it costing $162 billion the true ableist mindset shows through. Or maybe this is just another scam since he hyperlinks to a donation request to his own research organization. All mainstream journalistic rules need not be applied when the topic is Autism apparently.

So essentially the opposite of "vaccines "cause" Autism", using correlation equals causation.
My child had vaccinations, and then was diagnosed Autism.
My child had antibiotics, and then hit a development milestone.
I was unhappy, so I cried, and then it rained.

Oh, look, he also mentioned our birth rates.... That sure isn't creepy each time you hear it.

I want everyone to LOOK at the comments section.

THIS, is why hate speech against us is common. THIS, is why the vile stigmas are so prolific.

You have all these monstrous people spreading the idea what we're some sort of disease, and essentially high fiving each other over and over, to think themselves credible. And next to nil people denouncing the hate speech, that's why the vile stigmas are so common.

Also, time to update 'the list' ...again.

In my case, my high functioning autism (Aspergers) is genetic. My Father's family is filled with them. HFA is not a "disease" or "side effect." It is a difference. And, in many cases, an improvement. Let's stop apologizing for who we are!
