I strongly recommend reading the book:

"Evidence of Harm" by David Kirby

It is a true accounting of the battle over thimerosal in vaccines.

Parents' struggles, CDC cover-ups and manipulation, drug company lobbying, political interference and much, much more.

It is a very well referenced book. If you thought that thimerosal was/is safe, you need to read this book and see if it changes your mind?

Sadly, the victims of autism (children and parents) pay the ultimate price. Yet, a supposedly untreatable disease has been treated with success by chelation therapy and a vitamin B-glutathion supplementation programs.

If you know anybody with an autistic child, please give them the name of this book, so they can be better informed.

My banker told me his son had autism and I thought of this article as well as Sandhusker. My kid has an autistic classmate and he is a real pleasure to be around. He knew who I was without ever meeting me.

This information is pretty interesting.

My understanding of autism is slight, but I believe there are many varying levels of effect on the child involved with it

I have read an interesting book by Temple Grandin who is autistic. Have also heard her speak and have talked with her several times. She is an interesting person and a true expert in understanding cattle and their needs, especially re. handling......what works and what doesn't. Interestingly enough, her experience and beliefs in handling cattle coincides nearly exactly with that of excellent old-time cowboys.

It would be so heartrending to have a child so affected, and very easy to grasp at any cause and every "cure" one hears of.

Like many other tragic child maladies, more money should and will be spent to solve this one......sadly too late for too many.

You're right, MRJ, there are many different maladies that fall under the umbrella of autism. A cousin of mine has two autistic children. The girl is the classic case and would of been institutionalized years ago. The boy can not understand how others interact in his world. He'll come to your house and grab something out of the refrigerator, walk into a room and do his thing like you're not even there, etc.... My boy falls under Ausberger's syndrome. He didn't talk until he was four, and his social skills are that of a 4 year old instead of 7. However, he's very smart and doesn't forget a thing. His teachers will think he is spacing off in school, but he can answer any question they throw at him.

I do think more should be spent on Autism, Downs Syndrome and other diseases of the innocent. However, the politically correct disease to combat is AIDS - a disease largely preventable and self-inflicted. :roll:
