Dan Olmstead’s claims about “no Amish autism” have been debunked.
*************************************
I didn’t say “no Autism”, I said “almost no autism”
I also didn’t say that none of them vaccinated. However, they do have a large part of their population that is not vaccinated, and that makes them an important control group.
Plus, since your quoting Dr. Strauss, lets get the whole quote.
Strauss said the clinic treats “syndromic autism”, where autism as part of a more complicated clinical spectrum that can include mental retardation, chromosomal abnormalities, unusual facial features, and short stature, as well as Fragile X syndrome.
Strauss says he doesn’t see “idiopathic autism” at the clinic, which he defines as children with average or above average IQs who display autistic behavior. “My personal experience is we don’t see a lot of Amish children with idiopathic autism. It doesn’t mean they don’t exist, only that we aren’t seeing them at the clinic.”
So, even he says that he doesn’t see the classic autism we have all come to know.
Funny that anti-vaxxers tend to come from the left and Hollyweird types; Oprah, Jenny McCarty, RFK Jr., Bill Maher. It's strange to see Freepers repeating completely debunked and disproven claims from a fraudster. It's also dangerous to public health, as this latest measles outbreak shows.
