Just returned from grocery store. Observed 2 obviously autistic boys around 8, some wild ADD boys and some college boys loading up on booze. I see so many of my sons friends in college failing because they can't focus and just party. It only gets worse as they get younger and as they received more shots and were born to moms more nutritionally deficient. SOOOO Sad we are losing a generation or more of boys. Does the world not recognize what is happening to the boys it is not a phase these children are not going to become independent functioning adults, good fathers and husbands. My daughter took at sociology class this semester and they talked about the emergence of the "man child" boys that never grow up. My daughter has even verbalized she doesn't think she will marry and have kids because she is so afraid of what she sees. WOW!!!
Like i said its only going to get worse from here.

There, there Angie. In order to get the real numbers for today’s kids... well they first have to get really supergood at diagnosing autism. Not just be very good at it, like they were in 2006. But even better.

Someone will one day claim that from 2006 onwards lots of new-breed superbrainy professionals were recruited to spot and diagnose autism… during that period they all had lots of additional supertraining at superacademies, so they got even more damn good at diagnosing the disorder. So when the 2009 figures are finally figured out and compared to 2006 figures, the increases will be explained by this new superbreed of superefficient, superobservant superpsychologists, who never let anyone fall through their net. No need to panic.

And the ball's in their court.
How long can they continue to say that they don't know the cause? How long can they claim that's it may just be better diagnosing---based on the addition of Asperger's in 1994.
How bad do the numbers have to get?
I've been reading that Catherine Rice of the CDC is admitting that there might, maybe, perhaps be environmental factors, but of course it'll take years to figure out what they might be.
And what will the rate be by then?
The people with everything to hide should have nothing to do with this disaster.

1996-1998 increase in rate is .666 ...so at that rate...

...then those born in 2000 or 9 year olds the rate would be 1 in 43

those born in 2002 or 7 y.o.... 1 in 29 children on spectrum

2004/5 y.o./1 in 19

2006/3 y.o./1 in 12

2008/1 y.o./1 in 8

Although we have also seen increase in the rate so that .666... rate is probably higher since we don't know the cause so we (government) haven't done anything to change our environment.

I must be wrong. If this was true our government would act a little more alarmed, right?

Thank you as always, Mark. Well put-- we are outraged and they are burying it.

In 1840's Vienna, Ignacc Semelweis could not convince the medical and political leadership of the largest Vienna maternity hospital, I believe it was called "The Laying in Hospital", to institute hand washing in the maternity wards, particularly after autopsy or student pathological examination of cadavers. He had shown by his own example that such hand washing would reduce the death rate of women in the maternity wards who were examined following such cadaveric examinations. In spite of his careful statistical analyses and comparisons to wards with lesser mortality and morbidity rates, his heroic efforts to mandate changes in sanitary practices in his own area of authority, and his advocacy with his own students and other physicians, the medical and political leadership remained a stone wall. Finally, he left Vienna to return to his home in Hungry where he successfully implemented his sanitary procedures in a hospital under his sole authority. The Austrian crown authorities and the medical leadership of Vienna had to have understood the consequences of the policy to allow unsanitary practices at that maternity hospital. Many of the women who sought to give birth there were poor, or prostitutes or unwed mothers. The negligence of the Austrian crown was nothing less than genocide. Semelweis despaired of ever convincing them to change. Our CDC in 2009 very likely has the same agenda as those Austrian crown authories - the genocide of "Life unworthy of living" via vaccination. Until vaccination is honestly objectively examined it must cease. Just as the Austrian medical and political leadership feigned ignorance of the causes of mounting mortality and mobidity of women who gave birth, we have the CDC feigning ignorance of the causes of a lighting speed increase in the rate of autism. The fate of the Austrian crown will be the fate of the CDC and the leadership of the United States if this problem is not forthrightly addressed.

Thanks Mark. Very well stated, as usual! There are so many things wrong with established medicine. Especially, obstetrics and pediatrics. My son's birth and delivery was a clusterf*ck. He was barely breathing because they left him in the birth canal for 45 min. waiting for the Dr. to show up. THEN he goes to the NICU and they give him his Hep B shot!!!! Plus all the other vitamin K crap etc. etc.

OK, now I've worked myself into a lather again.. breath... breath...
