Autism-World

Ask:

I child every 20 seconds is diagnosed with autism say Autism Speaks, we can stop this from happening in future children.

Answer:

I’ve heard lots of controversial theories.

I’ve been working with the ppulation for quite some time. Some of the parents I have worked with were very young, and had more than one child with autism. Yes, I do think it is somewhat genetic, but I also think there is something environmental going on. Perhaps it is all of the pollution we are exposing our bodies to, such as pesticides, plastics etc.

I am not convinced that it has anything to do with vaccines causing autism, but I do believe that a person with an auto-immune disorder would have a greater risk of reaction for obvious reasons. Don’t you think it could be coincidence?

Fathers and mothers just coincidentally are getting older as autism is increasing. Allergies are also on the rise because of how we are manipulating our environment. I don’t know the details of the study, but the number of subjects and other certain details are important for validity, so I’ll check that out. I am curious.

Trying to stay healthy and teaching our children healthy habits is one way. Use more natural products. We really need to start watching what we are exposing ourselves to. I also read another study that talked about pollutants that mutate genes over generations. Something that our grandparents were exposed to two generations back can have an affect on our children.
