Birth Defects Associated with Autism

[Guest guest]

Thought you might find this interesting..............this, of course,

would those being born with and diagnosed early on with autism, not the

children who develop normally and then regress into so-called autism

after vaccines and/or antibiotics/tylenol, etc.

And note what they also say about tylenol (calpol)

This morning, Birth Defect Research for Children is releasing a report on

137 cases of autistic spectrum disorders in the organization’s National

Birth Defect Registry. The report will also be released at a Town

Hall Meeting on Autism sponsored by Florida Hospital on Wednesday,

January 20.

Nearly two-thirds of the children with Autistic Spectrum Disorders

recorded in the National Birth Defect Registry (NBDR) also suffer

from structural birth defects. Most of the defects affect the face,

head and central nervous systems of newborns.

The most frequent CNS disorders reported were Microcephaly (small head),

Cerebral Palsy, Chiari Malformation (a structural defect of the brain)

and Absent or Thin Corpus Callosum (the band connecting the two halves of

the brain), The most frequent Craniofacial Defects included Low Set Ears,

Partial Hearing Loss, Abnormal Teeth and Abnormal Facial Structure.

The registry also collects data on prenatal exposures to medications,

illnesses and toxins. The most frequently reported maternal

exposure was acetaminophen (AP). AP has increasing replaced the use

of other pain killers in pregnancy. Recent studies have reported

associations between maternal AP ingestion and childhood asthma and a

stomach defect called gastroschisis.

A recent recall of the OTC pain reliever TYLENOL (AP) Arthritis Pain

Caplets has revealed additional concerns that drugs like AP can become

contaminated with mold and chemicals when they are transported and stored

on " engineered wood " pallets.
