“Neuroscientist at UVA working to detect autism much earlier in babies”
Vaccinate them earlier. That’ll make it easier.
stop giving them shots before they’re 2 yrs old
the cdc already knows there’s a direct relationship between when a child gets the measles/mumps shot and ending up with autism. their own study showed males are more likely than females to be susceptible
This is one of those things that I believe have good intentions and the potential to go horribly wrong.
A fake “disease” calls for fake tests.
Stop vaccinating infants & children and watch things improve.
I thought autism tards were supposed to be super smart
and hang out on 8Kun solving Qtard decodes and saving the world?
My research showed that it happened in the third monthvof pregnancy..
“Her goal is to help children with autism achieve optimal outcomes through earlier diagnosis.”
And how many children who would nowadays be considered “on the spectrum” but 30 years ago would just have been considered socially awkward introverts will be doomed to NOT lead a normal life once tagged with this label since infancy and herded into the “special ed” track?
I’m convinced that the increase in prevalence of autism is directly related to the over-prescription of antidepressants in women.
Don’t hold your breath for the pharma companies to search this out though…
Autism develops when the thalamus in the brain cannot process emotional input. I’ve worked quite a bit with all ages of autism spectrum.
Autism is a super masculine consciousness. You might notice that they frequently turn their head to the left to look at you from a right eye perspective. This is due to the optic nerve crossover to the left brain hemisphere.
Autism children generally have a real good memory, sometimes photographic. But it functions on a location directory for recall.
My testing frequently revealed trauma for the mother during the third month of pregnancy that hindered emotional bonding. This influenced neural development relating to the amygdala and thalamus.
Best preventative is to make your baby laugh as soon as possible, and as much as possible. We used to know that.
Throw them up in the air amd catch them. Does it every time. That’s what dads do naturally, if some nitwit doesn’t prevent them.
I’m convinced that for most autism cases, it really is that simple.
Detecting before or after vaccinations?
I knew something was wrong with my son when he was two weeks old. The world made no sense to him, it’s hard to explain what I picked up on. Eye movement? If we went around the dresser, there was no continuity in his perception of it being the same object. How is the world supposed to make sense to a two week old? It didn’t.
Regression should be a cause for concern, like going back in babbling, losing consonants.
Loss of eye contact. Not repeating a new action, like rolling over at 3 months on schedule, and not doing it again for another 3 months. Obsessive fascination with anything to the exclusion of human interaction. My son couldn’t turn his head to the side if you put him on his tummy, he would drop his face into the mattress. No rapid eye movement while sleeping. So much before one year, before six months, before three months.

Research confirms Gut-Brain link in Autism
...Snip "The Gut-Brain Connection in Autism (Multiple possible sources listed with this being one.)
"As mentioned, recent research confirms and further strengthens the theory that the gut plays an important role in the development of ASD (autism spectrum disorder). According to this study,8,9 published in the journal Autism Research:
"People with autism commonly experience gastrointestinal problems, however the cause is unknown. We report gut symptoms in patients with the autism‐associated R451C mutation encoding the neuroligin‐3 protein. We show that many of the genes implicated in autism are expressed in mouse gut.
The neuroligin 3 R451C mutation alters the enteric nervous system, causes gastrointestinal dysfunction, and disrupts gut microbe populations in mice. Gut dysfunction in autism could be due to mutations that affect neuronal communication."
In other words, genetic mutations found in both the gut and the brain may be a primary culprit. Mutation in the neuroligin‐3 R451C has previously been shown to alter synaptic function in the hippocampus and cortex, resulting in impaired social behavior.10"
Other research11 has shown neuroligin-3 mutations can also trigger "specialized cognitive abilities" seen in some autistic children. Previous research has also linked the mutation to gut dysfunction. Lead investigator Elisa Hill-Yardin, associate professor at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia, told Neuroscience News:13
"We know the brain and gut share many of the same neurons and now for the first time we've confirmed that they also share autism-related gene mutations. Up to 90% of people with autism suffer from gut issues, which can have a significant impact on daily life for them and their families.
Our findings suggest these gastrointestinal problems may stem from the same mutations in genes that are responsible for brain and behavioral issues in autism. It's a whole new way of thinking about it — for clinicians, families and researchers — and it broadens our horizons in the search for treatments to improve the quality of life for people with autism."

"Gut Differences Found in Healthy and Autistic Children
Even without a genetic component, the gut microbiome appears to play an important role in ASD. In a 2013 PLOS ONE study,15 researchers analyzed the microbial content of fecal samples from 20 healthy and 20 autistic children, finding distinct differences between the two groups. As reported by Medical News Today:16
"Specifically, three bacterial genera — Prevotella, Coprococcus, and Veillonellaceae — were diminished in subjects with autism, when compared with samples from normal children … The three genera represent important groups of carbohydrate-degrading and/or fermenting microbes.
Such bacteria could be critical for healthy microbial-gut interactions or play a supportive role for a wide network of different microorganisms in the gut. The latter would explain the decreased diversity observed in autistic samples."

Campbell-McBride's research shows there's a profound dynamic interaction between your gut, brain and immune system. She has developed what might be one of the most profoundly important treatment strategies for preventing autism.
In her research, Campbell-McBride discovered that nearly all of the mothers of autistic children have abnormal gut flora, which is significant because newborns inherit their gut flora from their mothers at the time of birth. Establishing normal gut flora in the first 20 days or so of life plays a crucial role in the maturation of your baby's immune system.
Babies who develop abnormal gut flora are left with compromised immune systems, putting them at higher risk for suffering vaccine reactions. If your baby has suboptimal gut flora, vaccines can become the proverbial "last straw" — the trigger that "primes" his/her immune system to develop chronic health problems.
Simple Lab Tests Can Identify GAPS
The good news is you can rather inexpensively identify GAPS within the first weeks of your baby's life, which can help you make better-informed decisions about vaccinations, and about how to proceed to set your child on the path to health.
The entire process for identifying children who would be at risk for developing autism from a vaccine is described in her book "Gut and Psychology Syndrome: Natural Treatment for Autism, Dyspraxia, A.D.D., Dyslexia, A.D.H.D., Depression, Schizophrenia," but to sum it up, in her practice she starts out by collecting a complete health history of the parents, and their gut health is assessed.
Then, within the first few days of life, the stool of the child is analyzed to determine the state of the baby's gut flora, followed by a urine test to check for metabolites. Together, this can give you a picture of the state of your child's immune system. These tests are available in most laboratories around the world.
If the test results are normal, the risk of autism after vaccination is significantly reduced. If you find that your baby has abnormal microflora, or begins to develop symptoms of autism, the GAPS program should be started immediately, as the younger the child is when you start the treatment, the better the results. The child also should not be given any vaccines until their gut microbiome tests normal.
Identifying Abnormal Gut Flora Early On Is Crucial
Campbell-McBride reversed her own son's autism using dietary changes and detoxification, and her hypothesis is in my view one of the most relevant. I believe her GAPS nutritional protocol is important for most people these days, as a majority have poor gut health due to poor diet and toxic exposures, but it's particularly crucial for pregnant women and young children.
The best way to prevent GAPS in the first place is for the mother to avoid all processed foods, sugar, antibiotics and birth control pills before conception as these cause yeast and fungi to grow and also cause leaky gut. This can then be followed by breastfeeding and avoiding the use of antibiotics during (intrapartum) and after delivery." ...Snip
1)Vaccine Crowd; Note The doctor is not against vaccine
2) Test if you want, but my thought would be to just provide a pro biotic to every newborn child.
