They added those with Asperger’s into the Autism bucket. I think that’s a mistake. I am very different from those that stim, can’t communicate, and so forth. As someone with this for my whole life, Asperger’s and Autism are NOT the same condition. But it bumps the numbers up.
NY Post carries the rants of two “rent-a-doc” for Big Pharma propaganda.
This has been my concern regarding the claimed increase. Expand the definition, of course you get greater numbers. Not my field of professional study but what’s the justification for lumping other conditions such as Asperger with Autism?
“One of the most harmful myths is that vaccines cause autism. Decades of research and large-scale studies have repeatedly shown that vaccines do not cause autism. Vaccines are safe and effective, and misinformation can lead to preventable diseases.”
Safe and effective. Now, where have I heard that before?

It appears to me that Newton, Edison, Jefferson, Tesla, and many, if not most of those responsible for significant technical and scientific advances show strong signs of Aspergers.
No one had peanut allergies when I was in school in the late 60s thru the 1970s.
Children used to get a couple of vaccines in youth. They are now up to 73 vaccines by Junior High. Many made with DNA from decades ago. Have you read about the extremely high percentage of children who get high fevers up to 108 after vaccination?
The way to avoid being stupid is to first stop believing false instructions.
Next, learn to trust your instincts and your experience. Then you’ll see there’s a connection between autism and vaccines.
Is the science "settled" or something like that or will you be censored if you disagree? Asking for a friend...
As crazy as that sounds you are correct
Some “autism” and much of ADHD is a discipline problem. Of this there is no doubt.
Very good observation
I wouldn’t take the federal money away but ratchet the scrutiny way up, require reevaluation after some time and jack up the penalties to the sky for fraud.
I cannot believe they used that term. That’s how clueless they really are.
My little brother, God rest his sweet soul, was afflicted with severe autism and mentally challenged, and my family believes it was because of vaccinations. Even later in life, he responded badly to vaxes, like the pneumonia shot. After he received that, he was hospitalized with pneumonia from the Saturday after Thanksgiving until January 3rd, 2008. It’s a miracle he lived. He died two years ago from an arrhythmia. He was like a little child, and I’ve had a hole in my heart ever since.
I hear you. Do you know of any research/essays which explore the contributions of Asbergers to civilization/technological progress?
I have been considering such an essay, but have tended to shy away from the work.
Claiming autism....a defense attorney’s go to crutch...buy a specialist to examine and diagnose autism and see if it works out in court.
I never heard about them when I went to school in the ‘70s and ‘80s.
