The school is one of the few of its kind in Utah and the nation - a free public school serving kids with autism. The school first opened in North Salt Lake in 2006 and has since seen huge demand. This year, school leaders opened the Pleasant Grove campus to about 430 pupils in grades K-8, hoping to ease some pressure in North Salt Lake.

But demand has surged. The North Salt Lake campus has a waiting list of about 675 students, and the new Pleasant Grove school already has about 150 on its waiting list, said Brad Nelson, Spectrum director of development and finance.

I posted a comment, but  I'm not sure why I even bothered.  The information in this story spells a disaster for Utah.  STILL, the reporter who wrote this isn't concerned.  Building whole schools for autism?   Hundreds on the waiting lists? 

Where are these kids coming from?  When is it going to stop?  Where are all the adults like this?  Obviously the Salt Lake Tribune doesn't want to get into what's really happening here. 

If doctors and health officials are copacetic with all this....shouldn't we all be?

Mike Schwanz, the youngest of three boys, was fine until he was 18 months old. Then he started exhibiting strange behaviors....

Short sentences he already knew how to say, like "Tie my shoes," condensed to "Tie shoes." Soon, he quit using words altogether and would just stand there, staring at his mother.

The story will sound familiar to any parent of a child on the autism spectrum - now one in every 68 children in the United States. But Mike's sudden transformation came in 1977, and his mother was at a loss.

When the Bradenton boy was diagnosed with autism, one in 10,000 children were identified with some form of the disorder that affects the brain's normal development of social and communication skills in the first three years of life.

"Then and now"?  The only difference between THEN and NOW is that a once rare disorder has turned into a worldwide EPIDEMIC.  Doctors still have no answers.  Children still inexplicably end up on the spectrum. 

 Mike Schwanz's mother: '"I slowly watched him die before my eyes."  Sadly, forty years later, it's still happening and doctors and health officials just don't care.  I posted a comment.

The HPV vaccine is safe and effective, and it prevents cancer. The vaccine works, even better than we had hoped. How often can we say we have something that we know can protect the next generation against cancer? Twenty-seven thousand HPV-related cancers are diagnosed every year in the United States and HPV vaccination could prevent most of them. ...

I'm asking pediatric and family medicine clinicians to strengthen your recommendations. You can eliminate missed opportunities. You can recommend and administer the HPV vaccine to all preteens during the same visit that you recommend and administer the Tdap and meningococcal vaccines..

Incredible promo that sounds more like it came from a Merck rep.  This same official has never showed this kind of interest in addressing what autism is doing to our children.  Notice the fleeting reference to safety as a concern and the blanket recommendation that "ALL PRETEENS" get this vaccine.  This vaccine has only been on the  market FOR FIVE YEARS.  How can Frieden make the claim that it PREVENTS CERVICAL CANCER?
