This new study confirms the findings of a previous Swedish study;

The Swedish study

The problem is that we do not have indictations on the underlying causes of this disease. There are several hypotheses and speculations but there is no hard science.

Prevalence is not the same as diagnosis. It could be the case of sickle cell anaemia, which on the hand is a defensive mechanism against malaria, and a deadly disease on the other. It took years to identify that sickle cell anaemia has genetic markers; genetic mutation of people in Malaria infected areas.

Thanks I will read later.

Am surprised non of you mentioned camel milk therapy for a type of autism, in the USA many mothers of autistic children are campaigning to have the milk approved by the FDA..

What people don't know is most of the autism within the Somali community stems from this MMR vaccine. Wallahi you can call me a conspirator or what not but i have on countless occasions seen with my ow eyes how a healthy child turned disabled after getting this jab obviously not straight away.

This MMR vaccine which comes in 3 jabs one after another is too powerful for the child's brain to handle. The big companies who continue to make a killing are refusing to acknowledge this even do their own investigations to discredit others while the so called governments doesn't want to know cos they too are making a killing in taxes.

Now i'm not saying i'm against this MMR but how it is handled and like i said before this vaccination comes in 3 doses. Instead of using them one time on the poor child they have to start setting a stage by stage jab consisting for period of at least one month.

I think it's important to vaccinate but at the same time not dismiss the existing conspiracy. Parents can always opt for a delayed vaccination schedule when it comes to the MMR. For example instead of giving at the recommended 12-15 month for the first dose, doing it maybe around the 3th birthday. By that time there is evident developmental progress/delay and parents can allow vaccine adminstration without worry.

SummerRain even 3 is still too young i say 4/5 even maybe 6.I will even go as far as to say that parents should start demanding these companies separate this 1 powerful dosage into 3 dosages 1 for measles 1 for mumps and 1 for rubella and then make 3 appointments for a period of 1 month.

Interesting
