How do you explain the massive increase in Autism the last
decade....up 80%.......& in the last 3 years up 28%?

How do natural genetic developments account for this rapid
rise while the massive increases in vaccinations,now 29 odd per
child,doesn't?

How do you explain monkeys that have been given some of these vaccines develop Autism while a control group doesn't........?

"If vaccines play absolutely no role in the development of childhood autism, a claim made by many medical authorities today, then why are some of the most popular vaccines commonly administered to children demonstrably causing autism in animal primates? This is the question many people are now asking after a recent study conducted by scientists at the University of Pittsburgh (UP) in Pennsylvania revealed that many of the infant monkeys given standard doses of childhood vaccines as part of the new research developed autism symptoms.
For their analysis, Laura Hewitson and her colleagues at UP conducted the type of proper safety research on typical childhood vaccination schedules that the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) should have conducted — but never has — for such regimens. And what this brave team discovered was groundbreaking, as it completely deconstructs the mainstream myth that vaccines are safe and pose no risk of autism.
Presented at the International Meeting for Autism Research (IMFAR) in London, England, the findings revealed that young macaque monkeys given the typical CDC-recommended vaccination schedule from the 1990s, and in appropriate doses for the monkeys’ sizes and ages, tended to develop autism symptoms. Their unvaccinated counterparts, on the other hand, developed no such symptoms, which points to a strong connection between vaccines and autism spectrum disorders.
Included in the mix were several vaccines containing the toxic additive Thimerosal, a mercury-based compound that has been phased out of some vaccines, but is still present in batch-size influenza vaccines and a few others. Also administered was the controversial measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine, which has been linked time and time again to causing autism and various other serious, and often irreversible, health problems in children "(http://www.greenhealthwatch.com)

Seriously. I'm not kidding. I do work with autistic kids. Not a bunch, but I do. O.K. leave shiny wrench guy out of it.

Recent DNA sequencing techniques have developed to the point where while it was once a mountain to sequence a representative of one whole human genome, now we can pretty much crank one out when we bump into somebody who is interesting.

People with autism are interesting. Interesting because, among other things, their disorder lands smack dab in the middle of what we call human ... our society, our language, are social interactions.

Classical genetic transmission of autism is well observed. But there were so many founder types, no family history, nothing anywhere and boom ... there it is. These days, really only in the last 5 years, we can simply access the genome of such an individual.

What is being found is changes, often massive changes, occur in at the sperm-egg level. Mom is normal, dad is normal, and they are cranking out lots of NEW variation just in the gamete production process.

For example, it is now known that certain duplicates of a 21 gene region on chromosome 7 lead to autism. Socially withdrawn, blah blah blah. Conversely, and to huge fascination, cohorts have been isolated where a deletion in this same region has been found ... and these kids want to know allll about you forever, they live only for the social interaction. Crap, seems the kids can't bother to eat by my observation, "where are you from, what's your favorite food" ... amplified a million fold.

So one extra set there and you are an asocial autistic, cut one out and you are annoyingly interested.

Same goes for HIV research, finding the "resistant" genes, some folks just don't get sick ... fine sequence them ... it used to be science bumped into the outliers and said "wow" now they simply get the full DNA data set on anybody interesting.

Expect an absolute unimaginable explosion of insight.

The situation is beyond surreal.

Billions of people, millions of outliers, and now the tools to pretty cheaply take a full genetic snapshot whenever one sees fit.

Staggering... truly staggering.

The smart, the shy, the fast the slow ... within the last 5 years the tech has developed to look at individuals, the software is up to speed to process this material.

Wow.

The popular press is talking about genetic revolutions that are 20 years old.

This is really something. I'll come up with some links and content on this later.
