I posted this to inform most parents who are not even aware of it and that it may be possible their child is exposed.

No, I do not believe it's incureable or genetics. (The only thing I believe is genetics is the level of sensitivity to vaccines).

I am a speech therapist in a school for children with special needs, the majority of them with autism. Please be careful about spreading the 'vaccine' idea as the cause of autism. The majority of the students that I work with were not even vaccinated before they started demonstrating signs of autism. I know so many families in which the first child was diagnosed with autism, so they refused to vaccinate future children. Many of their second or third children also developed autism-without the vaccination! Autism is a complex disorder with a variety of proposed causes.

Thanks for the info. Keep on getting the word out about new info. We can't wait for doctors. I still haven't found one who is an expert on autism. Know why? Because there are no experts on autism. With very few exceptions the whole medical community slept right through this one. The momentum that we have right now did not come about from doctors. It came from parents.
I don't know this one , Dr. Mercola. But at least parents ought to know about the option. Most of us are doing more than our share of research and study anyway.

I think i'll report you for advertising, you may be trying to help but as you are not an expert and your suggested site is obviously a sales pitch rather than an academic/medical study. Stick to reading real books by real doctors who really care and have real understanding of the subject

Yes, I'm well aware of it, and actually though mercury-based vaccines are linked to it, MOST VACCINES are no longer mercury-based. Also I know many autistic kids who were never given a vaccine at all until they were ALREADY autistic. Two of them were children adopted from foreign countries.

Good question - perhaps if you write your question differently, it will attract the attention of those parents who have children affected by Autism but dont know about it.
