Finally, There May Be a Blood Test for Autism

Are you concerned that your child might be autistic and want to know right away? Here is the latest in autism research that could be helpful in answering your questions including a possible blood test for Autism.

Health experts are in agreement that the sooner you and your pediatrician know whether your child is autistic, the better are their chances of receiving the help they need to aid their social and mental development. Unfortunately, however, diagnosing autism spectrum disorder (ASD) can be difficult, and is primarily done by observing a child's behavior and development to make a diagnosis.

A diagnosis of ASD typically comes from two types of evaluation: 1st is the...

If there is physical damage then I think that points to a better treatment system based on a cause
Also
It would be instructive to compare tissue samples of children from before and after various vaccinations - to see if the damage is present before vaccination or occurs after

They’ve made the spectrum sooooo broad. I’m not sure what the blood test is predicting.

If the test can be done pre-birth, it may turn into something that precipitates abortion.

Since the root cause of autism is in the genes, it is extremely unlikely that the blood test would show anything different in a vaccinated vs. an unvaccinated child.

Furthermore, there is no conceivable mechanism by which a vaccine--which stimulates the immune system in much the same fashion that a pathogen does, but in a much safer, controlled manner--would act on the brain. The impossibility becomes even more pronounced when one takes into account that the brain features which cause the manifestation of autism are present long before birth. Vaccines do not travel through time.

About 11 years ago we had neighbors move into the neighborhood.

They had a boy the same age as my son. Both of them were 4 years old at the time. After the boy came over/outside one day, I told my wife there was something off about the kid. Mainly, no eye contact whatsoever.

It took the parents/teachers another 3 years to diagnose the kid with Asperger’s. Which is a high functioning Autism. To this day, his mother calls him a genius. And he does have gifts, but sadly, he will never be a normal functioning member of society.

Then no doubter should fear or impede blood testing of before and after
Lets have it out there and prove you’re right

Why on earth would you subject your child to more blood testing than absolutely necessary? If the kid doesn’t have autism before getting vaccinated, you are really going to subject them to another blood draw just to try to prove a point?

That’s just plain cruel.

For other reasons, too. I think each child should be blood tested AT BIRTH! Or even before birth, to prove up the biological father Far too many males paying child support that should NOT be.

OH, Good!

Then we can do blood tests before and after VACCINATIONS, to study potential correlations......

(well.....except no such study would ever be allowed, for fear of the results)

This is total fake news!

Autism is not a disease; it is the result of destroying the body’s systems with deadly vaccinations.

You may be onto something!

hmmm.. when we were toddlers, we were TOLD by our parents to look our elders (and our peers) in the eye...even after being contrite for misbehaving. If we didn’t, we got a smack. Very few autistics in the 50s and 60s. I fear the lack of social skills due to poor parenting often gets misdiagnosed in this day of “everything is a syndrome” as spectrum autism or aspie. JMO.

That’s what I would love to see. Don’t think they would do that though.

Why do we have an epidemic of autism?

Why did we never hear of it or even see kids with symptoms 50 or 60 years ago?

Growing up I never knew any kid that even acted like he exhibited any debilitating symptoms of autism. We had shy kids but not autistic ones. We also didn’t have AHD. Instead we just had unruly kids that needed their buts swatted and some time alone to think about what they were doing.

Cruelty is letting more and more kids get vaccines that could be linked to the physical causes of autism

But I can understand why the pharma industry and vax deniers would make every argument about why NOT to do a simple blood test that could prove them right

Anyone who is around autism personally or professionally recognizes the differences

Btw in the good ol day folks of all ages used to self medicate their adhd and depression issues with cigarettes and booze - now there are a lot more ways to do so
