Autism / Autism Spectrum Support Group
Autism is classified as a neurodevelopmental disorder which manifests itself in markedly abnormal social interaction, communication ability, patterns of interests, and patterns of behavior. Although the specific etiology of autism is unknown, many researchers suspect that autism results from genetically mediated vulnerabilities to environmental triggers.
Ohio, Pa and a few other states have had the most spike in austism childern in the past 10 years.
that being said it would prevent any more cases in the future and if there is a cause perhaps there is a cure???? I don't know I need to process this a bit more.

I flat out refused to vaccinate my younger children, and constantly have doctors tell me I'm a fool, but my regular doctor knows and understands my reasons and is fine with it.
A friend of mine had her 10 year old asd son, Ben, ask her
"When I die and go to heaven, will Angel Ben have autism?"
Hard question. If he didn't have autism, he wouldn't be Ben, it is so much a part of who he is.
