Wow! I am honored to be in such an intellectual company!
Thank you, Pogo, Angus, Bob, Emma et al!
My question is much lower brow though: for ANYTHING to be considered genetic, there must be a disease history in the family, does it not? How many of us could point out grandpa Joe who was non-verbal and wore a helmet?
And don't we all realize, with dismay, that our autistic children are not likely to procreate?
Therefore if any of our ancestors were autistic, they probably didn't have any offsprings.
Just down to earth common sense argument against any genetic theory...

So, of course it's genetic for some. Genes influence your mitochondria, your glutathione, etc. And the ability to clear toxins is therefore influenced by genes.

The dose of toxins in earlier generations was lower so the damage was lower. As the dose goes up, people with those same genes get more harmed.

In the 1940s and 1960's family members had vax reactions. In both cases the family dr was empowered and encouraged to stop vaccinating the entire family, not just that one child. So my younger uncle never got a vaccine in the 1940's. I didn't get several in the 1960's--from a doctor who diligently fully vaccinated all of his 9 children. He said with my eczema I "looked like" a child who could not tolerate vaccines. I also had strabismus, which I now know is a mercury overload problem. I am suspicious that toxins make you more likely to have trouble immunity wise fighting viruses, and that might be why the combo of DPT and MMR harmed my son so terribly. (He is blessedly doing pretty well now).
Another clue: we grew up in a steel town. Toxic overload pushed over the edge by injected heavy metals? I pray that we get some loud whistleblowers that the MSM CANNOT silence. That we reach the tipping point. That Senator Rand Paul interviews the CDC Whistleblower next.

No doubt the autism no genes finders will be on the list sometime,Alas !No gongs for anyone from our side, funny that!

MMR RIP

Don’t know if Del Bigtree knows this. Came across a little gem in the book:
DEADLY DECEPTION by by Robert E. Willner M.D., Ph.D. pub 1994. It mentions Fauci by name twice… remember this is way back in 1994.
On page 5
When an epidemic destroys its susceptible population, it ceases to exist. In other words, it is the inability of the individual's immune system that determines the degree to which an individual "falls ill" or whether or not he becomes ill at all. As Pasteur is purported to have exclaimed on his deathbed, "It is not the organism; it is the terrain!" If this were not true, then everyone, in the examples cited above, would have gotten the plague or the flu and all would have died. In fact, the first disease on earth would have been the last! The deceivers of infamy have succeeded in creating a chain of events that have destroyed logic and common sense, and in their place, established the following "Commandments" for science, government, the press and the public:
The Ten Commandments of Fraud
1. Coincidence is proof of cause and effect.
2. Circumstantial evidence is direct evidence.
3. One example proves the rule.
4. One guess supported by another guess creates a fact.
5. Saying it is so, makes it so.
6. Don't confuse the issue with facts.
7. Proof is unncessary and should be avoided.
8. Lie, lie, lie, and they'll believe it.
9. Silence, ignore and suppress the truth.
10. Replace reason with dogma, fraud and blindfolded fear.
The repeated use of these commandments by the conspirators prompted T. C. Fry to comment in his book, The Great AIDS Hoax, "...the presence of what they call HIV in the disease [AIDS] is no more proof of cause than the presence of flies in garbage proves that the flies are the cause of garbage." There could be an exception however, if you consider that the "AIDS Gang": Robert Gallo, Anthony Fauci, William Haseltine, Max Essex, James Curran, Flossie Wong-Staal, Dani Bolognesi, Margaret Fischl, Margaret Heckler, et al., are the flies; then indeed, the garbage was created by them!
On page 30
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the Director of the National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases, a co-hort and supporter of Gallo, published a paper in 1985, in which he stated that the world's number one cause of T-cell depletion was malnutrition. Fauci also knows that malnutrition is the number one cause of immune deficiency diseases. Fauci must be suffer-ing from memory deficiency caused by those well-known corrupting organisms — power and money!
Result was the deaths of many from being prescribed very toxic AZT. Too toxic even for treating cancer patients. Deja vu.

I remember years ago reading that autism was not genetic because autism does not have a physical component. ( I think this was likely to support the refrigerator mom crap)
They say everything is genetic now but what are examples of “birth defects” (sorry a more up to date phrase is needed here) that don’t have outward physical characteristics?
Because I’m thinking that if genes are damaged in some way there would be other indicators (yes I’m comparing to Down’s syndrome).

With over 3 billion DNA base pairs in the human genome, I would guess those at Baylor will soon return to ask for more money, after finding some promising new Autism markers and variants.

About a decade back, did not Autism Speaks set up a world wide database where anyone could log in and help search for the Autism gene ? How is that project going ?
