Check out the best answer to my question & the extra info I added on "comments."

When you hear about the "epidemic" of autism, claiming the vast increases in how many kids are diagnosed with autism, it is important to remember that until 1990 Aspergers was not known or diagnosed in America. These kids were just labeled "a bit off." Now somewhere between 62% to 86% of those labeled "in the Autism Spectrum" are Asperger's.

That means at least a big hunk of the "increase" is only an increase in actual diagnosis's. Not an increase in actual incedents of autism. There were likely always 7 out of 2,000 people with Aspergers. They were just the ecsentric watch repairman, early computer geeks, that oddball who would never look people in the eye, etc.

The CDC says that vaccines are safe but with the rate of autism 1 in 161 children I have my concerns. If autism is genetic like doctors say then it would be impossible to see it with such frequency. I wrote my masters thesis on the rise in special education since the dawn of mass vaccinations over the past two decades. This was 10 years ago so my research would now be outdated but there are articles out there, I would suggest looking on line or at a library.

The argued link between autism and vaccines is only propaganda made up via liberals?????! Lord, communicate approximately some thing not subsidized up via any data. anyhow, I do honestly think of that the evdience showing a link isn't extraordinarily compelling. i'm not asserting it would not exist. What surely problems me is what share mum and dad contend that they observed considered one of those dramatic distinction of their babies only following a undeniable vaccination. i be responsive to this is the favored counterargument to assert "nicely, autism only shows up around the comparable age that youngsters get those photographs," yet I only have a tough time paying for that. those mum and dad, and that i've got met lots of them, are very sparkling that it grew to become into an instantaneous, almost in one day distinction.......i be responsive to that would not consitute sturdy scientific data, yet i only can't push aside it. My oldest toddler grew to become into clinically determined "at-danger" for autism while she grew to become into 17-months old. And interior the final 5 years, I even have heard some million distinctive accessible factors for autism - vaccines, nutrition plan, loss of Omega 3s, antibiotics, yeast infections, pitocin, epidurals, etc..... I placed my palms over my ears a protracted time in the past on the numerous theories using fact it began to purely force me loopy. yet even although the vaccine argument has in no way rather moved me, I nonetheless have not had my youngest babies vaccinated for something. My daughter, and my 5-twelve months old son, have had a pair interior the final couple years, yet we do them one-at-a-time and purely specific ones. added: I completely agree that it is not a democrat vs. republican difficulty. i'm uncertain the place the guy who mentioned this is all liberal propaganda is getting that effect. only could desire to purely remember to found out that I wasn't honestly asserting it is grew to become into liberal propraganda.....i'm honestly approximately as liberal as they arrive. somebody else right here mentioned that....i grew to become into only thoroughly disagreeing.
