Interesting. Of course, I am an Aspie and my mom never had an ultra

sound. She never did like these, and she will be happy to say she must

have known why!

Do you ever wonder if they throw these ideas out or studies out to muddy the

idea that maybe it is the thermosel in the vaccines? It seems they think it

could be just about everything . Like the old expression " everything gives

you cancer " well maybe .. Just a thought.

Yes, I think I can agree with that. I also wonder if it is a lot of

well intentioned parents also in search of 'the cause'. It could be

a 'finger pointing' session, too!!

I suppose it's possible, but really I think the purpose of the

article was to point out to idiots like Tom Cruise that it hasn't

been proven safe to willy nilly give your kid an ultrasound solely

for entertainment purposes. Do them when it will provide some needed

info to your doctor on your child's development, but no more than

that. It's long been known that ultrasounds carry some risk.

Unfortunately, they probably don't know all the risks yet.

I must agree - there are just some movie stars who should not open their mouths

when not being filmed for a movie. It just ruins everything. LOL.
