AUTISM: The Genetic Epidemic
AUTISM: The Genetic Epidemic
Parents with bad genes; the new "refrigerator moms and dads"
I found an annoying article published in Autism Parenting on September 4th. The title got right to the point: “IS AUTISM HEREDITARY?”
Answer: Of course. Next question.
And in the updated version of the “Refrigerator Mom” being blamed for autism in the 20th century, today in the 21st century,it’s the parents with the BAD GENES.
Can You Inherit Autism?
The simple answer is “yes,” autism spectrum disorder can be inherited. However, that doesn’t mean everyone with autism spectrum disorder inherited it.
There’s no definitive cause for autism spectrum disorders. Still, research from around the globe has found developmental, genetic, and environmental factors are connected to autism spectrum disorders.
Dr. Daniel Geschwind is a professor of human genetics, neurology, and psychiatry at UCLA. During a recent interview, he cited a study published in Jama that identified 80% of autism spectrum disorder cases are likely caused by genetic factors passed through DNA.
To return to the main question of “Is autism hereditary,” that means while not all autism spectrum disorders are inherited, a vast majority of them likely are hereditary.
We’re told there isn’t an ‘autism gene’ exactly, but genes are the culprit.
Mount Sinai Hospital posted a study in 2022 that identified more than 70 genes involved with autism spectrum disorder diagnoses.
Blame the Parents
While Jeremy Brown, the author of this piece, does mention “environmental factors,” he basically ignores the whole idea.
Most of the official studies on environmental triggers for autism put the bull’s eye on the parents.
Millions have gone into studies linking autism to: OLD MOMS, MOMS WHO MARRY OLD DADS, FAT MOMS, DRINKING MOMS, MOMS ON ANTI-DEPRESSANTS, SMOKING MOMS, MOMS WHO HAVE BABIES TOO CLOSE TOGETHER,AND MOMS WHO LIVE TOO CLOSE TO FREEWAYS. (I kid you not. That last one is also the result of an official study.)
Of course the point of this whole piece is to make parents go quietly into their corner and not ask questions. YOU are the reason your child has autism. All the science says so.
Brown has to ignore the elephant in the room which is the explosion in the number of children with autism since there no such thing as a genetic epidemic.
NO INCREASE CAN BE A REAL INCREASE, therefore it never is. It’s always better diagnosing, greater awareness of kids who’ve always been here.
The theory of the genetic epidemic can only work if we ignore the epidemic.

From Skyhorse PublishingThe War on Ivermectin: The Medicine that Saved Millions and Could Have Ended the Pandemic
#1 Seller in Forensic Medicine
By Pierre Kory Dr. (Author), Jenna McCarthy (Author)
Big Pharma and health agencies cry, “Don’t take ivermectin!” A media storm follows. Why then, does the science say the opposite?” Ivermectin is a dirty word in the media. It doesn’t work. It’s a deadly horse dewormer. Prescribe or promote it and you’ll be called a right-wing quack, be banned from social media, or lose your license to practice medicine. And yet, entire countries wiped out the virus with it, and more than ninety-five studies now show it to be unequivocally effective in preventing and treating Covid-19. If it didn’t work, why was there a coordinated global campaign to cancel it? What’s the truth about this decades-old, Nobel Prize-winning medication? The War on Ivermectin is the personal and professional narrative of Dr. Pierre Kory and his crusade to recommend a safe, inexpensive, generic medicine as the key to ending the pandemic.
The Studies the CDC Refuses to Do
This book is based on over one hundred studies in the peer-reviewed literature that consider vaccinated versus unvaccinated populations. Each study is analyzed, and health differences among infants, children, and adults who have been vaccinated and those who have not are presented and put in context. Readers will find information on:
The infant/child vaccination schedule
Thimerosal in vaccines
Live virus vaccines
The human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine
Vaccination and Gulf War illness
Influenza (flu) vaccines
Hepatitis B vaccination
The COVID-19 vaccine
Vaccines during pregnancy
Given the massive push to vaccinate the entire global population, this book is timely and necessary for individuals to make informed choices for themselves and their families.
