Young Man With Autism Dies, Forgotten in Hot Car

20 year old Bryan Nevins died after being left in a hot car by his "caregivers" who didn't notice he was missing until his meds were due.

Didn't notice he was missing until his meds were due.

Didn't notice he was missing until his MEDS WERE DUE.

Autistic Man Left in Hot Car by Caregiver Dies

Investigators want to know how a man with autism could be left inside a van for hours in the intense heat just steps from the facility where he lived.

The unidentified 20-year-old man died after spending more than five hours inside a van operated by Woods Services in Middletown Township, Pa. last Saturday, police say.

The man, whose autism left him unable to speak, was in the backseat of the van for a return trip from Sesame Place in Langhorne, Pa. with three other residents and two caregivers.

My cousin was autistic and went to the same school. Last november during the night he some how go out of the school, he ran to the high and jumped off the overpass and was hit by 3 cars. My cousin was killed because of the lack of attention that is paid to these children, this is sick and cruel and I pray for the family that has just lost this child. This school needs to be shut down immediately!

dcbmom I do not have God complex I have a father who has a daughter with autism who happens to be a serious physician and surgeon complex. I am actually quite a humble person however I am staunch in my beliefs and I am preservant in my attitude toward autism and it's etiology and I will not change that view until the proper studies hve been done by the proper unbiased and credible people.

With that being said you are correct and we all are in total agreement(believe it or not) that the people who did this to that young man should be fired AND(I would go a step further) they should go to jail for manslaughter! However that wil not happen as we simply do not have that type of society anymore. Further dcbmom we are all deathly afraid some incident like that could happen to our child too!!

Hey dcbmom we are on the same side I spend my entire day talking to people about orthopaedics and spine surgery and autism and many people and especially physicians, are just like I was before I researched the literature, they believe the propaganda and tales of cures and disease prophylaxis by vaccines from drug companies and because they are not up on the actual literature they are not actually competent to indulge anyone on the merits of vaccination, however they still go around telling people what they have been taught and could never confirm. Talk about a successful multilevel marketing ploy, if it was not for autism the pharmaceutical companies would get away with murder!!
Finally dcbmom this is your web site and blog too and do not be put off because I or anybody else wears there heart on their sleeve about their child. We will not always agree but you should still come and check it out because there is a tremendous amount of information by non medical people who have done their homework quite well( believe me I check it ALL THE WAY OUT )and it is extremely useful for treatment of your child as well as information etc.

My comments are not made with any malicious intent at all, and I am certainly not here to blow my own horn with tales of greatness. I just want what is best for ALL OF OUR CHILDREN and in my view the people that have imposed this vaccine scam are culpable at all levels.

Please feel free to count me as a person you can ask about anything orthopaedically or about spine surgery or vaccines or autism and I will give you my best answer or opinion or tell you simply that I do not now know but will research it for you. We are on the same team.

DR...Offit may be an idiot, but the place the young man was at that died needs to be SHUT DOWN!!! PEOPLE NEED TO BE FIRED!!! another child/adult with a disability will be hurt by there negligence and I do not see how you can possibly argue with that. WIth that being sai, I do not think I have ever encountered a more rude or arrogant individual with such a GOd complex on any message board or comment site.

“First of all,as a lowoly law person who can not possibly understand the medical field and all of your big fancy mumbo jumbo (rolls eyes) I would like to see proff that 100% of Autism cases are regressive autism!!!! A lot”

dbcmom Before shooting your pen off. Try actually READING my second post I made where I introduced myself to you and clearly posted that Prader Willi Syndrome and Fragile X are inherited and the inheritance pattern is known. You were so consumed with my appropriate criticism of your comments you missed the entire point of the post. It is quoted below

"Vaccines are a medical fraud and a hoax and yes unless this child has fragile X or Prader Willie he has vaccine initiated autism."

Clearly you do not understand the point I am making I realize that this is junior high school biology, Mendelian genetics and all, but pray tell what exactly is the inheritance pattern for classic regressive autism? There is none!!

Please read the very thorough analysis of the literature, what you might call “big fancy mumbo jumbo (rolls eyes)” concerning genetics and autism by Mark Blaxill, an attorney and editor of AOA, where he clearly delineates through a complete review of the current articles that there is no scientific evidence that regressive autism is genetic. The information, and it is ALL there, reveals a conflicting set of results from multiple studies all of which support different suggestions of possible genetic links however proves none something you would would refer to as “big fancy mumbo jumbo (rolls eyes)”.

They have spent a considerable amount of economic resources trying to cover up the link of vaccines to autism and putting it on your genetic makeup and this is simply not possible. Again dbcmom Autism other than Prader-Willi syndrome- which is due to the loss of expression of maternally imprinted (paternally expressed) genes on the chromosome 15 of paternal origin. In approximately seventy per cent of cases this is due to a deletion, 15q11-q13, and in most other cases both copies of chromosome 15 are maternal in origin (maternal disomy) with no paternal copy. Rarely, it will arise as a result of a chromosomal translocation or a mutation in the imprinting centre, which may be transmitted through unaffected carriers.

The other well documented and clearly proven inherited cause of autism is Fragile X- Fragile X, as its name implies, has an inheritance pattern of X-linked recessive. The gene causing Fragile X is called FMR-1 and is found on the X chromosome. This gene contains repeats of the trinucleotide CGG. Individuals with more than 200 repeats have Fragile X Syndrome and some degree of mental impairment. (There can be as many as 1,000 repeats of this sequence).

As there is no real scientific study that shows a reliable inheritance profile and pattern how can you say that autism is genetic if you cannot tell me which genes are responsible? How the genes are transmitted? If they are autosomal or sex linked, dominant or recessive?. If you or anyone else for that matter are going to insist on a genetic origin of regressive autism you really must have those answers otherwise your opinion and information is just “big fancy mumbo jumbo (rolls eyes)” actually in your case it would be small fancy mumbo jumbo (roll at least 1 eye):).

VACCINES CAUSE AUTISM

Dr./Surgon: WOW!!! Where to begin!!! First of all,as a lowoly law person who can not possibly understand the medical field and all of your big fancy mumbo jumbo (rolls eyes) I would like to see proff that 100% of Autism cases are regressive autism!!!! Alot of kids have Regressive autism- BUT NOT ALL! Where are you getting your info?/ I mean, you do say you are smarter than most.
Also...Condescendin, smug, arrogant, says he is always right...yep, sounds like Sean Hannity to me!

[WILLIE]

dbcmom,
The facts are the facts. Until a unvaccinated child comes down with regressive autism it is an iatrogenic vaccine mediated neuroimunnological disease with gastrointestinal complication until proven otherwise.

I know that you are lay person and have no clue as to the how's and why's do's and don'ts of medicine. However I come from a family of 7 physician and surgeons and I am readily familiar with all of those ethical and moral boundaries and the people that have imposed this fraud, VACCINES, on the public have used the government to supplant all of the traditional ethical norms that we all swore to adhere to.

As far as parents being liars, YES THERE ARE PARENTS THAT ARE LIARS!! Go and blog neurodiveristy and you will find a entire room of liars a veritable nest of rats. They insist that your child is neurodiverse and that this is normal and that this is the manifestation of your genetic material and that IS A LIE AND THEY ARE LYING(even if you seem a little whack on this post- just kidding)

I listen to all of my patients, your problem was not that your doctor did not listen to you, he lied to you and your child and your family and my peditrician lied to me as well. Your peditatrician like most of them did not do their homework and are still not doing it, partly because they are incentivised by being paid well to vaccinate but mostly because they are stupid and lazy and please tell him I said that further if he wants to know who I am I will explain to him and you can be there too contact Kim Stagliano and you have my permission by this email. I can assure you there is no fear in my heart and I stand up on the truth.

I treat autistic children for free and I know far more about this than you will ever know and it is not just from my practice but from hours of reasearch for years at an entirely different level you call that arrogance I call it truth. Further I do have an open mind,I ALWAYS ADMIT WHEN I AM WRONG AND I EMBRACE IT SO I CAN GROW AND BE MORE WELL EDUCATED.

Do I know more than you and most others? YES Do I think I know it all? NO. Am I trying to learn it all DEFINITELY So I can help my kids and your kids too, no matter how hard headed you are.

As far as Sean Hannity goes he is a loose cannon no question and that analogy is totally improper. Sean can say whatever he wants as a talking head. What I do and say must be consistent with mainstream medicine and the standard of care because unlike the the peditricians and drug comapany pimps they work for I can be sued in a court of law for malpractice if while I am surgically extirpating 1/2 of your spine there is a complication, even a well documented one, and you wake up blind, paralyzed, unable to control your bowel or bladder. unable to achieve orgasm or have sex , sleep, or breath on your own you will have a claim against me.

I have never had to pay any malpractice suits or claims in 17 years as a spine surgeon IN SOUTHERN CALIFRONIA.

No Sean and I we are totally different. I make my living being right a whole more than being wrong.

VACCINES CAUSE AUTISM

[dbcmom]

Dear Dr and Surgeon- You are not willing to believe evryones autism is not caused form the same thing?? Wow,ok and you are a Dr. A very judgmental one, given that you would call parents liars...dont we as autism parents look for docs who will LISTEN to US and BELIEVE USabout whats going on with our kids??? I quit vaccinating my ds, and my extremly pro vaccine doc AGREED with me after reading a letter I wrote him. I think my auto immune issues mixed with his vaccines triggered his autism. HOWEVER-he is not"in pain" and not all autistic kids are. I think FOR MY SON it is a NEUROLOGICAL issue. BUT NOT FOR ALL KIDS!!! It is sad to me thatyo are SO one sided and judgemental when as a dr you have the power to help so many!SOme times when I am on this website I feel like I am tuning into FOX news or listing to Sean Hanninty..its all onesided and no middle ground or willing to think in more than one way.

The CDC and ANYBODY ELSE that is complicit with the vaccine fraud that has been foist upon this country and the world is responsible, the fact that you do not understand this simple concept is completely irrelevant. Had this young man never been afflicted with this devastating disease from vaccines that are not necessary and not safe from the United States Centers for Disease Control he would not be dead from dying in an overheated car because he could not talk or understand that he needed to open the door to get out. I do not really care how hysterical you get about this but you should understand that these actions have consequences and this is just one example.

He died as a direct result of his life limitations which are result of his autism which is a result of the unnecessary vaccines

Biomedical treatments and the limitations it has do not define the etiology of autism. Autism is only proven to be genetic with Prader Willie syndrome and Fragile X. THERE IS NO RELIABLE GENETIC INHERITANCE PATTERN FOR REGRESSIVE AUTISM AND CHILDREN THAT ARE NOT VACCINATED DO NOT GET AUTISM AND IF SOMEBODY TELLS ME THAT THE CHILD HAS AUTISM AND WAS NOT VACCINATED I DO NOT BELIEVE IT AND YES I WANT TO SEE THE BLOOD IMMUNE ANALYSIS. I AM A PHYSICIAN AND SURGEON AND I WILL DO THE TEST BECAUSE EITHER THE PARENTS DO NOT KNOW THERE CHILD WAS VACCINATED OR THEY ARE LYING.

As far as these idiots go driving this 20 year around what do you expect? You have put your treasure in the hands of fools.

[dbcmom]

Ok, I just wan t to clear this up. The Police should go to the houses of Paul Offit and Julie G and place them under arrest for homocide?? That sounds logical. The people who were responsibel for the young man the day he died and also the higher ups in charge of THEM should ALL be FIRED!!! None of these people should be working with peopkle with disabilities-ANY disabilities, be it autism, cerebal palsey, any disability. They are NEGLIGENT and RESPONSIBLE for his DEATH. THEY should pay for what has happened.
