Today the CDC released that autism now effects 1 in 88 children
http://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/autism/data.html
Problem/Condition:" Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are a group of developmental disabilities characterized by impairments in social interaction and communication and by restricted, repetitive, and stereotyped patterns of behavior. Symptoms typically are apparent before age 3 years. The complex nature of these disorders, coupled with a lack of biologic markers for diagnosis and changes in clinical definitions over time, creates challenges in monitoring the prevalence of ASDs. Accurate reporting of data is essential to understand the prevalence of ASDs in the population and can help direct research."
Period Covered: 2008.
http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/ss6103a1.htm?s_cid=ss6103a1_w 1 in 88 is a 78% increase in less than a decade. At this rate of increase it will be 1 in 30 in 5 years. I am aware that many people pass over my autism posts, because frankly it doesn't directly effect you. Trust me, IT WILL SOON ENOUGH! Please don't wait till it's to late, start educating your self now!
There is a major epidemic and people are so quick to turn their heads. Wake up this is effecting our children, which one day will be the future of tomorrow. Better diagnosis you say? Then why do you see more children toe walking, and hand flapping more now then ever before?
The food we eat, the air we breath and the shit we inject are destroying the immune system, over loading the liver and intoxicating our future. So many of our ASD children are overloaded in toxic metals! When you have a liver that is filled with toxins how is your body going to function properly? The now weak immune system and toxic body can no longer absorb the nutrients it needs, and in turn starves the brain.
It is proven environmental factors can effect our DNA.... why is it so hard to find the connection to autism?
As many of you know April is autism awareness month.
Autism Speaks has commercialized "light it up blue" for autism awareness. It no longer is just about awareness, it's now a marketing tool. Where is all this money going anyhow? Are we still solely looking for a genetic connection? This is no longer just a neurological disorder it is a damn EPIDEMIC.
Damn it we are aware, now let's do something about it!
So as many of you are "lighting it up blue", I will be "lighting it up red" for a national epidemic that is not being taken seriously enough!
