Get Off Our Lawn!
The heatwave hasn't hit New England yet, but clearly I am already hot under the collar. I saw two X's (that sounds so stupid, Tweets) yesterday that instantly bothered me. We have written about autism reality for 18 years. That includes the good ( our loved ones themselves) the bad, the worse, the worst and ugly and the ugliest. Take a look at the screen shots below. Both NAA and ARI (Defeat Autism Now!) were our original sponsors. We launched in 2007 at the NAA conference in Atlanta. NAA continues to fight for life saving awareness, and communication supports. They work hard to effect change. No one does more for autism safety. We are simpatico. We love their work. ARI has changed considerably, but we still see their value. This post is not about spanking either org, it's about the raw, ugly truths that we must share in this, the age of autism.
Did you know we had a murder suicide in our close community last year? A Mom shot her daughter in the head, and then tuned the gun on herself. I used to see the daughter who reminded me so much of my Bella walking with her Dad at an autism conference year after year. The news knocked me over, I did not (and still do not) have the heart to write about it. It's just too f'ing close to home and disrespectful to a grieving father whom I know to have adored his daughter. THIS is autism reality and I think it's going to grow much worse. Parents are begging for help. Only to hear, "You got this, Mama!" It happened to me when Bella aged out. She had no program. Her frustration was through the roof. I had no break - not a moment - for months - this after the nightmare COVID lockdown. I reached out to many people, "WE NEED HELP!" Nothing. No one is coming to save us. We'll have to build our wings as we plummet to Earth. Dr. Bernard Rimland's ARI has changed considerably since his death. "But report..." My daughters can't report jack diddly squat, so what autistics did they ask? Jerry Seinfeld? Amy Poehler's husband?

Vax-Unvax: Let the Science Speak (Children’s Health Defense) Hardcover – August 29, 2023
by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (Author), Brian Hooker PhD
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!
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.
The things that “autism researchers” choose to study, such as that which ARI is commenting on above, are truly mind bending, in the worst possible way.

Greetings to all! Many of us here know how a love one's severe autism can change your world and not always for the best. Many of us know the truth, but the powers that be have to down play the truth. This in spite of all the available information to the public on the negative, devastating, life long - side effects. Prayers to all who suffer because of those "safe and effective" products. So sad. Blessings to all!
