Toby: This article is still my #1 recommendation for friends who are just opening to learning about the autism-vaccine connection. Thank you for all you do!
One nitpick: In the section after "5 classes of toxicants" that starts "taking each toxicant in turn:", there's no paragraph about #4 EMF/RFR. As a severely EMF-sensitive person myself, I'm curious what you might say there?
I’m a special ed teacher and work with amazing autistic kids and have been fascinated (and horrified) by this whole universe for years.
I actually, on a whim, wrote a research proposal a couple of years ago after reading several papers about the connection between autism and mycotoxins. I figured since some mycotoxins, which are near-ubiquitous in the food supply (especially ochratoxin A), can cross the placenta from mother to child, that may contribute to the exponential diagnostic rate. I was actually surprised to not see fungus/mold show up on the top 5 toxicant list in your article. I wonder how far that list actually goes. Crazy to think about.
Hey btw, I’ve been experimenting with turning science articles into literary fiction and “stylistic” articles for the sake of making them more accessible for non-sciencey folks to consume. I recently wrote one which explores the intersection of autism, Candida albicans, and microplastics (I assume you know this already, but it turns out microplastics act as very useful little vessels for mold to travel around the human body, helping it reach depths it would never have been able to access otherwise).
We live in such a fucking crazy time dude. Thank you for what you’re doing, I’m going to read everything you write and do my best to share it with the little slice of the autistic community that I interact with daily. Cheers.
(Oh and if you actually read this and find yourself interested in that article I mentioned I’ll drop it as a reply to this comment)
Perhaps it is time to reject the made up term of ‘autism’ that is just a construct to encompass a wide variety of symptoms. These symptoms are a result of toxic heavy metals poisoning, in particular by aluminum and mercury. Toxic heavy metals poisoning is the CAUSE, not so called autism.
Interesting read. A little optimism for those reading that have loved one’s with autism and are feeling defeated by the unfortunate negative rhetoric that autism is a bad thing - If it weren’t for people who have autism, we wouldn’t have the brilliant mind of Albert Einstein, the passionate activism of Greta Thunberg or the visuals of Andy Warhol etc. As an elementary school teacher, I can understand better than most the challenges that come with interacting with people who have autism; however if you think outside of the box, you’ll find that people who have autism are brilliant and have so much value to give the world. I’m not supporting the idea of vaccinations but rather the optimistic view that people who have autism are needed and valued.
That is a worthy sentiment. Also, remember that some 26% of autism cases are classified as very severe- non-verbal, constant head banging, wearing diapers, even into the teen years. You see the mildly autistic kids. There are too many of them and it’s sad, as most will not reach their potential since resources to help them are stretched thin.
HI Toby, not sure if you'll get this message. I was trying to send your thesis of the same title to a friend. ....... "FORBIDDEN!! You don't have permission to access this resource."
Is there another way to access it? Strangely I was able to access it, and have it on a tab, but it won't send out.
Anyways, God bless you for all the amazing work you have done and continue to do.
Autism is how human beings survived the herpes viruses when they were new (still a theory but this is where the whole "autism is evolution" thing comes from because technically that's true.) what people diagnose as autism today is a combination of other comorbidities that would have been far more severe in the past when leprosy was common and most people died before age 40.
If you are a white guy, all your initial opinions are going to be wrong about absolutely everything because of the specific ways we are damaged
Yes. But there's a theoretical problem. It's a pandemic that's not caused by a virus, it's caused by an anti-virus. And our epidemiologists have no experience with those ephemeral beasts. They can't see them with their most powerful microscopes, and their causal statistical analyses are similarly blind to them.
I think the toxic burden of the mother should also be accounted for. I have a unique perspective on this issue because I have a 100% unvaccinated child with autism. I was fortunate enough to be very aware of this issue before he was conceived. Unfortunately, I was not aware enough to detox myself before I conceived, or even to know how to properly do that.
I was born in '85 and got all the childhood vaccines that were on the schedule at that time twice over. At the age of three I was adopted by my aunt and uncle and because my vaccination records couldn't be located they just gave me everything again, back before the thimerosal was taken out.
My son wasn't one of these children who was normal and regressed after vaccination. He was never vaccinated and also was never developmentally normal (and no, he was not snuck any shots, I get asked this all the time). He did have the vitamin k shot but not the kind that has aluminum, although I acknowledge that this could have impacted him. As my first and only child he got the full brunt of my own toxic burden through my breastmilk and placenta.
I also feel like there is an aspect of this which, if not genetic, may be in some way hereditary. Autism "runs in my family" along with many other psychiatric and intellectual/emotional issues. There are other related GI and metabolic issues that run in my family which I think contribute. Overall I think there is a certain hereditary susceptibility which seems to impact some families more than others. We have all observed how some children appear to tolerate vaccination much better than others (not to say damage is not being done to them too). But what effect can several generations of vaccine damage have on subsequent generations?
I think there's a lot going on with autism, vaccines are one (very significant) factor but by no means the only factor. The fact that so many people on the spectrum seem to be impacted in vastly different ways seems to support this. Being in parent groups and talking with other parents of kids on the spectrum, we noticed that our "born with it" kids manifested their autism in different ways from the ones who regressed, and had different sequelae. In short, I think there's a lot of different things going on with autism, vaccines being perhaps the most significant of these factors, but the mother's toxic burden is one that doesn't get mentioned too often, which I feel is very important.
In case anyone is wondering, my son in middle school and doing great. He's intellectually bright, his deficits nowadays are in social communication, impulse control, and executive functioning. But he's very smart, sweet, creative, articulate, goofy, and hilarious. He's also a freethinker and questioner of authority. I'm immensely proud of him but every milestone was hard won
Sorry, I know this is an older post. Is there a map of Autism rates over say the last 30 yrs, comparing red/blue states and/or counties. Saw the Marin story and would have thought the opposite would have happened. Spike in blue, decrease in red.
have you added community water fluoridation to this litany of horrors? reduces childrens IQ by 7 points (If I remember rightly) same/similar effect on IQ as lead

Do you have a link to your dissertation? Got here from your X post.
Bob, the link is in the last paragraph of the article. The title of his thesis is 'The Political Economy of Autism."

OH jeeeez! I got it to work! wierd, especially when you know what 'they' are up to!

I hope that RFKJr's investigation will be broad.

Brilliant essay, but fuck me the message is dark man. Will share with interested parties
