  • I have 3 grandchildren by the same mother and the 1st child has autism. The rest do not. The difference, the first had vaccines. The other 2 which were identical pregnancies have never had a vaccine. They are perfect in every way. We know what happened to our grandson.

  • @sameritaco i feel i have the right to say this considering my family has depression. The lack of seritonan in the brain. It would be tear worthy to not be allowed to create bbut look at all the jobs we have in the world. Job number goin down. Population goin up.

  • @sameritaco But if we illegalize this breeding we will have less people and god forbid less disorders. And if people breed anyways that will be there last child b4 we give them that drug that disallowes you to mate and get horny

  • i believe in depopulation. So people with depression, bipolar, autisim, certain std's, and many more af these defects arent allowed to have children. Like we dont have enough people in this world anywayz. What gives any human the right to breed... what makes some people so special that they can carry on thier genes instead of adopting, no one.

  • it makes me sick, all of you calling heavy metal toxicity autism

  • No, Josh. YOU'RE wrong, you don't know what the hell you're talking about you stupid ass. There has been no evidence to to even HINT at such a thing, and I'm pretty sure vaccines had nothing to do with my so-called 'condition.' Oh, and by the way, if asbergers was caused by HEAVIER vaccines then logicaly, it would be more extreme than other forms of autism, but the truth is quite to the contrary you twit. Perhaps you should do some research before making such bigoted comments next time.

  • wrong, autism is caused by injecting the pregnant mother with vaccines and aspburgers is from being vaccinated directly by heavier versions of the vaccine.

  • Interesting. Hope experts come up with more breakthroughs about causes

  • Gene mutations can also be caused by common environmental factors. These can include getting the same vaccinations, being exposed to the same virus and other things that we still don't know.
