@benjamin... there is a predisposition to autism spectrum disorders when someone is born prematurely, I'm sure your inhumane early years didn't help, thus it is possible that you began improving due to your new nurturing home (just as children improve after some of the burden is spread from exhausted parents to parents and OT's & speech therapists).
Shills are in lock step for/with Big Pharma/FDA. They lie/deceive to "prove" their points, that is their job
The bottom line; Vaccines have many toxins which should not be injected into infants children or adults
It is apparent 1 out of 100-200 infants over-react to vaccine toxins or are poisoned by them. Vaccines need to be cleaned up, we need to look for cures/treatment for autism. Any other position is untenable
Call your representatives, demand toxin-free vaccines
Something ingested by human being's causes autism. At least give me a thumbs up if you agree. Whether it is vaccines or something else, at least give me that. My son is 2 years old and BECAME autistic after turning a year old. He was communicating with us through facial expressions, eye contact and a few words. He now does not speak and has very limited eye contact. He has extensive therapy and is slowly progressing. Do you think autism is a birth defect? I beg to differ.
PLEASE check out a great Children's book about Autism, PDD and ADHD called 'Why Is He Different?' (Please spread the word about this unique book, tell your friends and tell me what you think about it. Big thanks!!). You can preview it on youtube profile called Monalisaknew. Just copy and paste the following sentence in youtube search window: 'Why Is He Different? (Autism Book)'
You can also buy this book on AthsePublishing(dot)com. Thank You !!
I was diagnosed with autism before after I was removed from my birth family (3.5) and before entering my new one (4.5). I was not vaccinated (my birth family barely fed me), and they did not vaccinated me while I was in the institution because I had allergies to eggs. About 6 months after I was adopted I recovered from the egg allergy (I got other food allergies) and got vaccinated. Shortly after I started improving.
if you were born in a hospital then you were vaccinated .. you may not have been vaccinated again after that, but you certainly were minutes after you were born.
I was not vaccinated. I was a preemie (less than 1kg) and the notes from the hospital suggested I should not be vaccinated before reaching 6 kgs. After I reached 2.5 kg I was discharged and went to live with my birth family. They kept me in a cage-like crib, and only fed me potato crisps . They would not take me to a doctor because other sick children might get me sick.
Believe me, I was vaccinated after my autism diagnoses.
I know exactly what you mean. my son Alex is 8 years old now, and was diagnosed whit autism at age 4. I have a recording of him singing a song in his own baby words. when he was about 1 1/2 years he stoped talking. Now he talks to me, with little trouble he gives speaches in his class and keep making progress. DON'T GIVE UP! yuo can make it
Also, in Canada autism rate has been STEADILY climbing (though dramatically is more factual), from 40 to 60 per 100,000 children.
California, the leading state of Green Economy and EPA's top choice for enviromental awareness, its autism rate rose from 0.8 in 1990 to 11.2 per 10,000 children in 2006.
There is something that is being *induced* to cause such an epidemic because in such short peroid of time, the recessive genes would NOT overcome the gene pool to induce increase of rates
I'm terribly sorry for your "loss," though the term is most inappropiate and inhaumenly harsh.
But when a child is crippled for life by a system that ACKNOWLEDGES murdering of Iraqis day in and day out, then truely they have NO regard for a human life, whether American or non-American
Bush vetoed a bill that would ban putting mercury usage in children's vaccines(neurological stimulant that excites an subsequently kills brain cells).
Bush vetoed health care for children from Tobacco tax!
no autism....the new definition for autism is parents who dont know how to gain their childs attention by stimulating their brain via behavior,education, and motor skills for christ sake!!!!! u ruin ur kids lives if you treat them like retards
Listen to me, you obviously are young, have no children of your own, and have serious parental issues in regards to your own upbringing. Seek some help, leave real parents and their problems alone. You have no idea how heart wrenching it is for a parent to see the light go out of their child's eye. The love you have is still there, but there is something missing from their eyes. And NEVER berate a parent's love.
its unbelivable how many children arround me are autistic , including my nephew who is 2 yrs of age now. and everywhere i go to learn about autism or try to study about it, it only leads to vaccination , i swear there must be a monster reason why its only increasing all arround us . =o(. all babies are cute but this label(autistic) is not =o(. Equilibrium is what this world turning into =o(.
Just tell them don't take Government Vaccinations.
They are tainted with Mercury because Canada's autism rate is 60 per 100,000.
California is 11.2 per 10,000 children (grossly high rate).
Bush Bush Vetoed Ban On Mercury In Vaccines back in 2007 (not made public), while his ban on health care for children garnished by Tobacco Taxes was publicized.
You have a beautiful son. He reminds me of my boy, Connor, who you can learn more about by doing a search for "Connor Kremser" or "autism angel." Its comforting to know that other parents are out there who love their special children as much as we do. Good luck.
in the year preceeding my birth(1973) there was an industrial accident involving the fire retardant chemical PBB which was mistaken for a food additive given mostly to cattle.
This chemical crossed the placenta and permanently lives in everyone exposed including those who weren't born yet and causes amongst other things cancer, and nervous system disorders. It took them another year to even start cleanup.
Michigan, the state which I refer to - was just recently named the top ritalin state.
I really believe that somehow these things are connected and that a lot of today's neurological disorders are for sure chemical based.
a lot of people complain that ADD/ADHD has become a catchall for a certain category of behaviours but I think that it was a trend set by this fluke accident(see above).....and agenda pushing by big pharmaceutical companies trying to make a buck.
My son was also functioning at a normal rate up until he had multiple shots at his 9 months and after that he had autism symptoms. NO we have 5 therapy sessions weekly. I've been wokring onhis cfgf diet and giving him natural supplements and organic foods which is doing quite well. email me for more info
I'm sorry to hear about your struggle with the events that unfolded after vaccination.
US was a world leader in medicine and technology, now it is leading the world to its doom.
When Bush vetoed the ban of mercury in children's vaccines, I had a feeling that Bush's ban means that "they" (the criminal elite) want to dumb us down further, to kill as many as they could, to exercise their would-be dictatorial powers.
A revolution is needed, and the problem is that people are asleep!
I agree. I did read about the Bush Veto on the bill that would have banned mercury from all vaccines, but not from main stream media, of course. I no longer vaccinate my children and hope more people will wake up and do the same.
I remember the mini concentration camps in high school, where we were all lined up like sheep to the slaughter house to get the compulsory vaccination.
Though it was by the consent of the parents, now they will write it into law forcing kids to take their needles.
Even though autism is spreading in Canada, indicating some lower toxicities here, but in the United States, Americans are getting slaughtered by it.
Also, when we visited the US, I was shocked to see police fear almost everywhere!
Sorry for the double reply, last point I want to make is that the police force in the US is a lot more noticeable than in Canada.
Even though Canada is following NAFTA guidelines and possible merge with Mexico and US, RCMP (Canadian equivalent of FBI) and local municipal police are opening recruitment like never before.
I think both Canada and US are turning into a police state in preparation for things to come.
Maybe in 40 years or so there will an American EU equivalent forced by the gun
I hope it doesn't get to that point. There are people trying to fight against a North American Union, but more are needed. Government was never meant to get so big.
But governments have been growing bigger every day since WWII.
UN, Union of South American Nations, South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation, Shanghai Cooperation Organization, ASEAN, African Union, WCPA (World Constitution and Parliament Association).
Super States are Rising, something as grand as National Elections are meaningless in transcontinental system of governance (every vote is a drop in vast ocean), and at the altar of World Government, nation states, the best idea that Europeans put forward for humanity, will be viciously sacrificed for all to see.
Nation States, a fable of constitutional parliamentarian representative governance that keeps all classes equal at the ballot.
Intellectualism and Inquisitive Minds will vanish as well
i have heard tell that immunizations could play role in autism. After all most kids aren't diagnosed untill around 2 years. This is issue that his been bothering me with my 7 month old as which shots i will allow if any at all. My mother has degree in teaching special needs childs
In any case, the important thing to remember, is whatever the diagnosis, don't just treat him as he has autism. Don't categorize him and treat him per that category. Just treat him as "him". (I think this goes for raising kids in general). He's not your "special needs child", he's your son. He may be a little more different from other kids, but if you can find his interests and use that as a bridge to help develop communication skills and social skills he will need to live in this world.
That's exactly what we do IHateMadeUpNames. We love him so much and like to treat him as an equal. He has two older brothers and we have to show them to talk to him correctly because sometimes they'll talk to him as if he was hard of hearing. I will admit though we tend to let him get away with a little more then his brothers. It's hard to resist that cute little face sometimes lol.
I don't know, this kid may just be "autism like". When I was a kid, I acted a lot like that. You pretty much had to get directly in front of me or nudge my head toward you to get my attention. I was diagnosed with ADD in the early 80s. The diagnosis might be different now had I presented now aged over 20 years less, and autism might be a proper diagnosis.
I am an adult with autism. i can not hear and understand while making eye contact. if i look away i can hear and understand. ome people misunderstand what is going on because we do not do things the same way nt's do.
Thank you iampoobear for the comment. I like to know what the perspective is from someone with autism who can communicate what they are feeling. I hope one day Phoenix will be able to do the same.
Same here, pal. I feel ya. Makes getting most job positions near impossible, people don't seem to understand that we're not 'druggies' and we're not 'shy'.
I get the feeling some of the people commenting think my son has not been diagnosed. He was diagnosed with autism in April 2006. I just wanted to show a clip of how he would be like when we would call his name. This happened all the time. But he's gotten alot better since.
Yeah, I'm Asperger Syndrome, diagnosed 2 weeks ago. And I'm a college grad.
There's hope for him, don't concern yourself over his not responding like 'normal kids'. Most autistics don't because it's not 'automatic'; for us it's a choice to react. And autism isn't something you catch like a virus, it's genetic.
It ain't really genetic, at least not in the way you get it from your parents.
I have ADHD, and both my parents have symptoms.
Hope this poor kid gets treated, though.
You know, I knew a kid named Eric in the 6th grade, who was a great kid, sociable, likable, and just plain nice.
But by the time I saw him again in high school, he had totally changed. His parents had put him on a new perscription drug. Boy, he wasn't autistic then, but he is now.
I don't plan on allowing my son to get put on medication. It isn't necessary and I have heard too many horror stories about mind altering drugs. I give him vegetarian vitamins and he continues to receive therapy at school. He has come a long way since this video.
My father tells me my son has autism but I don't believe him. He doesn't talk much most of the time but sometimes he does.
He's says this is autism. My son deosn't almost talk to any adults sometimes not even to us, but when he's with other kids he plays, sings, dances, talks to ther kids, al though he talks to other kids his age he doesn't talk as clearly as other same age kids as his.
That, on its own, isn't enough to claim autism. Look for other common signs, like flapping the hands, rapidly shaking the head, rocking back and forth, stacking or lining up objects instead of playing with them, reluctance to use words like "I" and "you," extreme aversion to certain textures (my stepson hates the feel of fur) as well as difficulty maintaining eye contact. Of course, this is not comprehensive. If you're at all unsure, please take your child to a pediatrician.
The problem was that my son was not answering to his name at all at the time and barely made any eye contact. Fortunately that is not the case anymore.
Compared to the US and Canada, what is the per capita incidence of autism of other countries in the world? Something tells me not only that it's vaccine, but our average American 'enriched', 'vitamin-fortified', 'ultra-preservatives', 'refined' diet. It's on the shelves and there's few alternatives, if at all. Are we our own undoing?
Every day is a journey...I am a therapist for kids with Autism. They are all so beautiful and unique. Thank you so much for sharing these videos of your beautiful son. More people are becoming aware of this condition and hopefully more will be done about it!
exoticats4u, no two children with autism display the same characteristics. My advice to you is to get your son screened NOW. Do not wait, because early intervention is so critical. If you are interested, there are several things a child must display in order to be placed on the autism spectrum. They are as follows, according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders:
I haven't tried any special diets, I just give him supplements (cod liver oil, vit. c and multi-vitamin). I will be posting an updated video, he's much more verbal now, makes eye contact, answers to his name, and so on.
wow. that is wonderful. I too do supplements. (cod liver oil, B12, enzymes, and multivitamin) It is amazing how far along they can come really fast. I look forward to your updates.
could u tell me what other signs he showed of autism? My son is 2 1/2 and is not talking well. he doesnt make eye contact and like to rip paper all the time. He seems happy but not like other kids his age. any advice?
exoticat - It may be a good idea to speak w/ a professional. My 4 year old was diagnosed w/ autism at 18 months and along w/ other behaviors she does the same ones as your son. We go through the books fast with all the ripping!
I WILL KILL THE PERSON WHO GAVE THE VACCINE TO MY CHILD IF THEY DID THIS TO HIM/HER. I DONT GIVE A FUCK

I don't plan on allowing my son to get put on medication. It isn't necessary and I have heard too many horror stories about mind altering drugs. I give him vegetarian vitamins and he continues to receive therapy at school. He has come a long way since this video.

Ask yourself this, though.
Is he really autistic? Or is it just learning problems in general?
Hope he's all right.

She says he was diagnosed autistic.

The title says this was 4 months after diagnosis, so a doctor already diagnosed him right? Why is everyone doubting it then?

My father tells me my son has autism but I don't believe him. He doesn't talk much most of the time but sometimes he does.
He's says this is autism. My son deosn't almost talk to any adults sometimes not even to us, but when he's with other kids he plays, sings, dances, talks to ther kids, al though he talks to other kids his age he doesn't talk as clearly as other same age kids as his.
Should I be worried.

That, on its own, isn't enough to claim autism. Look for other common signs, like flapping the hands, rapidly shaking the head, rocking back and forth, stacking or lining up objects instead of playing with them, reluctance to use words like "I" and "you," extreme aversion to certain textures (my stepson hates the feel of fur) as well as difficulty maintaining eye contact. Of course, this is not comprehensive. If you're at all unsure, please take your child to a pediatrician.

I really don't see the problem..

The problem was that my son was not answering to his name at all at the time and barely made any eye contact. Fortunately that is not the case anymore.

Compared to the US and Canada, what is the per capita incidence of autism of other countries in the world? Something tells me not only that it's vaccine, but our average American 'enriched', 'vitamin-fortified', 'ultra-preservatives', 'refined' diet. It's on the shelves and there's few alternatives, if at all. Are we our own undoing?

Every day is a journey...I am a therapist for kids with Autism. They are all so beautiful and unique. Thank you so much for sharing these videos of your beautiful son. More people are becoming aware of this condition and hopefully more will be done about it!

exoticats4u, no two children with autism display the same characteristics. My advice to you is to get your son screened NOW. Do not wait, because early intervention is so critical. If you are interested, there are several things a child must display in order to be placed on the autism spectrum. They are as follows, according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders:

He is just like my son Colin, are you doing a special diet? It is a miracle, my son started to vocalize after a month with no dairy. :o)

I haven't tried any special diets, I just give him supplements (cod liver oil, vit. c and multi-vitamin). I will be posting an updated video, he's much more verbal now, makes eye contact, answers to his name, and so on.

wow. that is wonderful. I too do supplements. (cod liver oil, B12, enzymes, and multivitamin) It is amazing how far along they can come really fast. I look forward to your updates.

Another sign is not responding your name right away, temper tandrum??

exoticat - It may be a good idea to speak w/ a professional. My 4 year old was diagnosed w/ autism at 18 months and along w/ other behaviors she does the same ones as your son. We go through the books fast with all the ripping!
