Guest guest Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 I think Steve has been given more than enough information and appears set in his mind; for whatever reason......... for myself, and probably others, it is time to turn our attention to those things we can influence..ie: on-going legislation.

Not understanding Hi all - I am a new member of this discussion group. My son is 5 and is autistic. My purpose when joining the group was to expand my knowledge base so I can determine the best course of treatments for my son's disability. I am hoping someone can help me to understand what I am perceiving to be a foundational belief of this group - that Autism is caused by environmental toxicity. Most specifically, by thimerosal in vaccines. I know that Kirby's book presented compelling evidence that this is the case. I also know that numerous studies have been published that have failed to show the link between vaccinations and the onset of Autism. So I am trying to understand why a large group of clearly intelligent people have arrived at the decision that this is a fact, and that their choice of treatment options stems from this fact. Please understand that I am not trying to cause an argument or to question the validity of anyone's beliefs on this issue - I certainly do not know what causes autism and have no special information which would lead me to believe that anyone's opinion is right or wrong. It seems to me that there is some conflicting science. So what, then, is causing this group to fall on one side of the debate instead of the other?

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 suspicious of all this? Not understanding Hi all - I am a new member of this discussion group. My son is 5 and is autistic. My purpose when joining the group was to expand my knowledge base so I can determine the best course of treatments for my son's disability.I am hoping someone can help me to understand what I am perceiving to be a foundational belief of this group - that Autism is caused by environmental toxicity. Most specifically, by thimerosal in vaccines. I know that Kirby's book presented compelling evidence that this is the case. I also know that numerous studies have been published that have failed to show the link between vaccinations and the onset of Autism. So I am trying to understand why a large group of clearly intelligent people have arrived at the decision that this is a fact, and that their choice of treatment options stems from this fact.Please understand that I am not trying to cause an argument or to question the validity of anyone's beliefs on this issue - I certainly do not know what causes autism and have no special information which would lead me to believe that anyone's opinion is right or wrong. It seems to me that there is some conflicting science. So what, then, is causing this group to fall on one side of the debate instead of the other?
