Guest guest Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 I don't know. Most of the people with actual labels in my family are under 20 yrs old, but that doesn't mean they are the only ones with problems. My mom's older brother was dx'd brain damaged, but he has a master's in music therapy, and it's pretty obvious now that he has AS. My mom was also called either slow or lazy, she was recently dx'd as ADD. I think the same problems have always been around, they just weren't recognized or discussed in the past. I definitely think that things are worse, I do think the environment and diet has a lot to do with it. Another thing is that 60 years ago, people didn't live this long, didn't have children later in life, and people who did have diasabilities were often institutionalized, and certainly didn't improve, get marrid, and have kid, which does happen now (and autistic people that I know who have kids have autistic kids, more support for the genetic link.)

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 I used to be concerned with the issue of any of my girls having children, but I've since come to accept that pregnancy is a very individual decision. I plan on talking to my girls when they are young adults, like after high school, and tell them that they probably have an increased chance of having a child with autism and encourage them to pray about it. Of course I tell my girls now that " if " they choose to be mammas, cause I dont' want them to feel societal pressure to reproduce just because. I will also highly suggest they refrain their babies from vaccinating or any other things that might increase the heavy metal burden. I'm making sure none ever have metal amalgams and I have a list of " safe " fish; that's the only fish the girls are ever allowed to eat. Here's how I see it. We're all imperfect. I have flaws, you have flaws, we all do. We pass on those flaws. In my genealogy search I found a long line of womanizing men on one side. Would their parents tell their sons not to reproduce 'cause they have a womanizing gene? We also have a history of male baldness, causing some to develop skin cancer on their heads. Would we tell our kids not to reproduce because of the baldness risk? Someone with autism has just as much a right to reproduce as anyone. Of course, I realize that some families have to look at this much more seriously with lower-functioning children. My faith tells me that every child God sees fit to bless my family with, regardless of individual imperfections, will be a welcomed, appreciated, cherished member of the family. Sondra has spoken often about her struggles as a mother. I remember one posting she said she had read that if the baby cries he/she should be changed, fed, and held and when her baby was still crying she didn't know what to do. Well, that sounds like an NT first-time mother to me! All new mothers need support, and if Allie finds someone with whom she wants to marry and have babies, Lord willing I'll be there to help her.

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 I was reading on a website about genetic testing. The site was very cautious about a person getting tested, stating that we all have bad genes and all the tests do is show the person who would probably never have known they were there.

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 And I would also like to clarify something..... the theories are not that vaccination causes autism, but rather UNSAFE vaccination, with preservatives containing known neurotoxins and other very harmful substances, and too many shots all at once to overwhelm underdeveloped immune systems, plus many completely unnecessary shots. As for the evidence, it is sound and undeniable. > I would like to assert that the theories are not doubtful if research > is truly analyzed.
