        Do these sugar substitutes cause autism in mice? I will look into it. So far the only answers that we got as to why my son is ASD is possibly trauma at birth and genetics.

        But the definition was broadened, so of course more are identified as on the spectrum.

        Because the Federal government gives big money to parents whose children have been diagnosed as such?

        Go check out the website autism speaks. All sorts of money available, including Federal grants and SSDI. If you're raising your son without assistance, then that's your choice.

        I’m fully aware of what is available but you also have to qualify. And there are waitlists a mile long. But sure, I’m choosing to raise my son without all that he needs. 🙄

        To much chemicals being used in our food supply such as pesticides, insecticides & growth hormones. It's not the farmers fault for using these hazardous chemicals it's the Gov. forcing them to use them.

        My theory is that this is due to increased testing of children, and is helping us to realize that autism is not a mental handicap but just another way to being human.

        1, it's not secret;; 2, "vaccine court" was set up to mediate vaccine suits so that companies wouldn't quit making vaccines; 3, there is no direct correlation and the studies HAVE been done. How many are enough?
