I'd like to point out that in the past month I have read two articles by supposedly knowledgable sources. One claims autism is caused by acetaminophen (tylenol) usage. The other claims autism is caused by glyphosate (round up) weed killer. Both claimed the the rise in autism correlates perfectly with the rise of use of these substances.

Many of us are old enough to remember when acetaminophen came out and overtook asprin as the main OTC pain releiver. Glyposate, if it had remained just a weed killer might not have made the big time, but it seems that it's creator, Monsanto, promoted it would be not only profitable but also a harmless practice to poison the entire wheat crop prior to harvest so that there wouldn't be pesky green spots (unharvestable) in the mostly golden wheat fields. The practice has apparently spread to all grain crops in almost the entire planet.

I'm sticking with vaccinations but thought I would share these "findings" with this group.

I've spent a great deal of time studying autism. There is no "one cause." Humans are complex ecosystems living in and interacting with complex ecosystems. We need to think of autism as a multi-contributing-factor problem.

Here are some of the factors that can contribute to the development of autism: gut dysbiosis (e.g. "inherited" from mother at birth; or caused by antibiotic use early in life; or caused by ingestion of glyphosate in breastmilk, formula, and foods); vaccines (cause brain inflammation and longlasting microglial activation, dysregulate immune system, cause autoimmunity, poison the brain with aluminum adjuvants, etc.); Tylenol given immediately before and after vaccines (interferes with detox of toxic vaccine ingredients); epigenetic injuries by vaccines or other environmental toxins; undermethylation; inherited or epigenetic disorders of metal metabolism.

Here's an example: Years ago I read a research report which has since been "disappeared" from the internet. Researchers observed two groups of 25 toddlers each. Children in both groups had apparently normal development. All the kids in one group had a history of gut trouble of some kind (colic, diarrhea, constipation, food allergies, formula intolerances, etc.) All the kids in the other group had no history of gut trouble. The kids were observed before and after their first MMR shots at about 18 months of age. None of the children who had no history of gut trouble regressed into autism after their MMR vaccination. But 23 out of 25 children (that's 92%) with a history of gut trouble regressed into autism within 4 weeks after their MMR vaccination.

So . . .please stop thinking of autism as having one cause. Think about interacting factors instead, with vaccines being a major factor for most kids. (For autism-from-birth kids, consider the HepB vax given at birth, which delivers a dose of aluminum adjuvant.)
