Guest guest Posted April 16, 2004 Report Share Posted April 16, 2004 One in six? I am speechless and skeptical. One in six. That's just....well, I'm speechless. Is this a world wide statistic or a United States statistic? Do we have any demographic breakdowns? (I'm not thinking so much along racial or ethnic lines, but say, vaccinated children vs. non-vaccinated children, breastfed vs. non-breastfed, oldest child vs. middle child, family history of alcoholism vs. none, vegetarians vs. regular diet?....just anything that would help us get a handle on who is getting this.) Assuming this statistic is true, one in six, and what I'm getting ready to write is going to be radical, but so is that statistic: Is it possible that the human race is making an evolutionary change and that a hundred years from now (or a thousand), everyone will be autistic, and that will be the norm? I mean, the statistic has changed rapidly. When it is 1 in 2, who will care for the autistic children? When it is 2 out of 3, how will society function? When it is 3 out of 3, what happens to the human race? Weird thoughts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 Hi J. P. , you are right. It was on the AUTISM ALARM I don¹t remember the web address but I guess you can put Autism Alarm in a search engine and find it. I am going to DC this week. I will email you when I get back and we will talk. Liz. On 4/19/04 9:30 AM, " Reirdon, J. " <jreirdon@...> wrote: > , > > I deleted this article you are reffering to, ...

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 OK, but still -- do we know the autism rates of vaccinated vs. non-vaccinated children? It seems like this would be a very important statistic to know. And, I suppose the next thing we need to know is the breakdown of autism rates by those who did and did not receive *each* vaccination so we can pinpoint which ones cause the problem. I read much (anecdotally) about the MMR, but do we have real statistics on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
