Book

[Guest guest]

I just had the most wonderful opportunity that I could not pass up. I work in

the lab of an office that sees all types:pedi, family medicine, etc.

Well, this week I am in pedi and I had just checked the hemoglobin on a 2 year

old. I am reading Unraveling the Mystery of Autism and the mother noticed this

as she was walking out. She asked me when that book was printed and I told her I

thought it was 2000. She said " Oh, I am looking for something newer. Everytime I

come to get my child's vaccines my family starts in on me saying that they could

cause autism. Does that book talk about it? Or do you know of a book that I can

read on it. " DO I EVER is what I am thinking in my head. I told her " You should

read one by Kirby called Evidence of Harm. He writes for the NY Times and

didn't know anyone with autism until he wrote this book. He doesn't have any

kids with autism so this book is non-biased. He just go interested in it when

that rider was attached to the Homeland Security Act. " She said " Does the book

point towards vaccines causing autism? Actually, it is the mercury, right? " I

told her " Yes, it is the preservative that is 50% mercury. The book does lean

towards it but it is just from the parents point of view. " She asked " Why? " I

said " Because the CDC and others wouldn't do interviews. " She said " Ahh " and I

was like " Yep! "

I had to do it casually as I don't need to loose my job but I don't think they

can fire me for suggesting a book that I have read. Even if they do and her

reading this book causes one less child to have autism then it is worth it!.

I love someone with autism!
