    Since I wrote this article in 2008, the rate of autism -- according to the government -- has gotten much, much worse as our govt. and "best" experts are still mystified as to how to reverse this. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/the-open-question-on-vaccines-and-autism/ …https://twitter.com/dkegel/status/987853815687790592 …

        Since back then, strong evidence has been found for prenatal causes, e.g. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29346770  implicates a number of mutations, and suggests a mechanism for how valproic acid causes ASD. It's an exciting time - we're actually learning a lot about the causes of autism!

        Yes all those genetic mutations in one generation. How exciting! (But whatever you do, don't look at those studies that suggest some links to vaccines, and particularly don't listen to the CDC scientist who says they have covered this up. He can't be telling the truth.)

        *shrug* Many studies have looked at whether vaccines are involved, and the answer seems to be 'no'; see https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24814559 . The evidence for prenatal causes, by comparison, is quite compelling (see above).

        The scientists I have relied on (including some who have worked for govt and some in vaccine industry) indicate they believe it's like a lot of things: genetics and then exposures... Like smoking/lung cancer. Most people who smoke will never get lung cancer

        Replying to @SharylAttkisson

        Sure - genetics and *prenatal (and maybe perinatal)* exposure. The mutations in question appear to be largely de novo. They have been going on for ages & are not uncommon; but when they happen to genes that control brain development, they tend to be selected against by nature.

        And, as the head of CDC immunization --and others-- have stated, vaccines may trigger autism in susceptible children (perhaps these are some of the susceptibilities). Doesn't mean it explains all the autism/ADD but some scientists believe it's a factor.

        Ah, but when did they say that? As one of them said later: "The beauty of science is that you are taken where the evidence leads you. [Early in 2011] I thought that there was some chance that postnatal factors might lead to some cases of autism - particularly in children...

        that had a genetic or other medical predisposing condition. But, our own research has argued against this view. Later in 2011, we published a paper about brain changes in children with and without regression (Nordahl et al 2011). We found that it was the children ...

        I only know the scientists and other experts I consult whose information has proven trustworthy over the years say there's no question. (I thought I read that an American Pediatric group said this, too, some yrs ago after many tried to attribute all of it to improved diagnosis.)

        https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/sep/16/sowell-when-children-are-late-talkers/ … If I remember correctly, Thomas Sowell states that if criteria for diagnosis are held to the older standards, the percentage of children who would be diagnosed with autism hasn't changed--His book on the subject was spurred by personal experience.

        I didn't read the book---Dr Sowell is a respected author on a number of subjects---Economics/history--If I'm not mistaken, he wrote this book because his own son was misdiagnosed with autism---I'd tend to trust his research.

        Autism was unheard of, but definitely existed, while I was growing up in the 70s and 80s. 🙋🏻‍♀️Why would our own government not warn Americans? 🙋🏻‍♀️ Shouldn't WE really start looking into and questioning the REAL motive(s)?

        The more people who get involved the better. They can't silence everyone. The real question people should be asking is ..... 🙋🏻‍♀️'WHO and WHY did anyone feel that silencing people with a vaccine was the right answer'? Sad

        An unintended side effect of CA SB277 is how many in the medical profession are getting exemptions for their own kids. It's like the secret that everybody knows. Stunning how few have courage to speak out against Pharma and our corrupt CDC but will quietly exempt their own kids.

        Have you ever spoken with, or listened to interviews of Andrew Wakefield? Very compelling, and the smearing of him was a disgrace. I have worked administratively in the medical field and there is an institutional fear of independent thinkers
