| I worked in Autism for many years. Throughout the years there were many sets of twins. In all the cases I saw the identical twins both had autism where the faternal twins who were mostly boy/girl did not. I asked one mother of fraternal twins if she thought it had to do with vaccinations and she said no. |

| I don't know if it has to do with vaccinations, chemicals in food, or environmental pollution, but there is something happening now that is making this a mega-problem now where there didn't used to be one even a generation or two ago and it is something that is in our modern society because if you look at even Amish people, autism is VERY rare from what I understand. |

| From my understanding, I thought Autism was genetic related, not enviromental or vaccinated related? |

| I think it's genetic. No offense to parents of children with Autism...I'm not saying you're on the spectrum also...just that the gene is somewhere floating in one or both parents and that it becomes prominent in the child. |

My nephew is autistic, and his fraternal twin is not.
I would assume they have had the same vaccinations.
Why would the vaccinations affect one and not the other?
I think there is still a lot we don't know about Autism.

| My friend is from Sweden and her father is a doctor there, autism is on the rise there just like here. However they have never had the additives in their vaccines that the US has had, so I don't believe it's vaccines. |

the way my doc. explains this to me is : its always been a problem but before they didnt call it "autism", it's always been 1 out of 150 kids and before they didnt catorgize it that way. now "retardation" is low....autism high. I dont know if I really believe that but IMO....I think that its the toxins, plastics/pvc, drugs etc...that is making our genetic makeup in our DNA all distorted causing these things to happen. Its inevitable, and sick all together. sad.
definatly not the vaccines |

| I have a friend who is a autism counselour. I have spoken to him about this problem many times. It has nothing to do with vaccinations because they took the mercury out of the needles two year ago and this is still a problem. I think it all comes down to the care a woman has during her pregnancy as well as her diet. |

I don't think it is one specific thing contributing to the diseases and disorders we face. I think it is a combination of all the "stuff" we expose our families and their bodies too.
Think about all the bleach, alcohol, amonia and formaldehyde in the everyday products that families use. Did you know that Johnson's and Johnson's baby shampoo has formaldehyde in it? That is just one of many examples of products that we think are safe for our babies and are not.
My family is very into using "green" products that are safe for us and the environment! That's why I love the company I work for, they are definitely "green" and their products are great for my kids.

| There is a great manga anime about Autism. It's called With the Light by Keiko Tobe. An animated approach to such an important subject. I encourage you all to check it out!!! |

| We are exposed everyday to ESD(Electro Static Discharge) in some cases it causes cancer, migranes, who knows how it affects our children. Eveytime I drive by electrical lines that emit too much esd (your am radio will react to esd) I wonder how could people live next to them. You can even power up a flourecent light bulb by holding it up near enough esd (freaky). Imagine what it does to our bodies or most important our babies. |

My education in biology / environmental health included classes in epidemiology and genetics, and It seems to me that there are *a lot* of diseases now which have environmental *triggers*. I believe that there is a genetic code that predisposes some children to autism, and that *many* environmental factors, possibly (but not necessarily) including immunizations are *triggers*.
It would be helpful if the medical community would do research on children who get their immunizations administered at a slower rate to see if this makes any difference in the instances of the development of autism. That would potentially answer once-and-for-all whether the immunizations are the answer.
It would also be helpful to see statistics on whether autism has shown up even in non-immunized children. I'll admit, not having autistic children myself, I haven't tried to research that. |

| I think it's more environmental and genetics than vaccines. There is more "stuff" in the environment than ever before. I sometimes wonder if a mother's age is related? Like Down's Syndrome, it's more likely to happen if a women is over 35 ( I think). |

| my cousin works for mereck (one of the companies that make the vaccinations) and even she will tell you that yes it is in your genetics but certain vaccines can trigger the autism, not cause it. |

| One study suggested the closer children are in age (time between births), the higher the chance for the younger child to have autism. The study pointed to less time for the mother's body to recover/replenish all the nutrients (especially if still breast feeding) as a potential reason. I guess nutrients (or lack there of) is as good a reason as any to consider a potential cause. I don't think it's vaccinations because they have taken out the thermisol (mercury additive) in children's vaccinations. They have NOT taken it out of the adult vaccinations, and when I was getting my flu shot last fall (while pregnant) the women's health center did NOT have the thermisol free version, so I went to CVS. Ironically, they suggest not having mercury in the children's vaccines but they wanted to give a woman with child the vaccine with it. Go figure. |
