Aspergers:a family tradition

[Guest guest]

Good Afternoon;

I have been made to understand that the mercury preservative thimerosol was outlawed in the US in 2001. I have also been advised that the EU countries did so in the 1990's, nearly a decade earlier.

No child in the western world has received a mercury preserved innoculation since 2001. It is my understanding that vaccine supplies containing thimerosol were not recalled but were simply used up and were gone a few months into 2000 because the decision was made that after 2001 this product would not be allowed. Also, a change in record keeping dictates that children receiving vaccines have the manufacturer, and batch code placed in thier medical records. Ergo, the CDC in the US was able to cross reference the numbers of AS against the lot #'s of innoculations given.

However, since the elimination of thimerosol in vaccinnes autism occurrance has risen in the western world. Also, many children are not getting innoculated at all and the autism frequency is the equal in this population compared to the vaccinated.

However, whooping cough and measels are back and as ugly as ever.

I do not have any sort of metal poisoning. The lab at view Medical Center in Portsmouth VA confirmed this. I have DNA from my father. Dad got his traits from his Dad. So forth and ect. Dad is a retired Naval officer, cryptographer, war game encryption expert, Vietnam Veteran, and help develop the satellite system currently in orbit for national security and NOAA. He likes kosher hotdogs everyday for lunch and the Price is Right. Dad's favorite conversation is about the weather and lunar charts. My uncle is on the spectrum also. He is an artist, and veteran of the Korean conflict (the coldest war) and his work is hanging in the White House. He fancies orchids, hawaiian shirts, and his talking parrot. My grandfather (born 1912- died 2005) had a train perserveration and was a late walker. He grew up to work in the train yards of St. MN. and retired from Mack trucks-he picked up box cars on his semi where they were hoised with a crane. Grandaddy used to tell a story about finding a relative in NYC city in the 1930's who had a vegetable market. Grandaddy went in to talk to him about family connections and the old man cussed him out, up one side and down the other. My grandfather was not to be outdone and returned the swearing with.....Now I know we are related you onery SOB. At that point the old man took him in the back for a drink and my grandfather met his great uncle for the first time.

It is normal for many children in my family to walk late; photographic memory, visual thinking, and heightened logic skills are more common for us than in the NT population.

"Suddenly everyone is AS isn't that odd? what is causing the

over inflation of Dx's That is the question no one answers. It it an

evolutionary shift. When did everyone become As, Or blonde or blue

eyed. Genetics don't work that way. If eye color changed that

radically in 2 generations people would ask questions how come not

for this."

Asperger Syndrome did not make it's way into the DSM IV until the mid

1990s and then there was a lag time while doctor's educated itself

about what it is. After that time, as more doctors learned about it,

they began to identify it more.

Now states in the US are doing investigations of their own and are

turning up more cases. Thus we now have a better appreciation than

ever of who has it and who does not.

It is not a two-generation evolutionary shift, nor is it the direct

result of poison introduced into people's systems. It always existed,

but was simply never categorized in North America until recently.
