Cause of Autism...?

What do you think is the cause of Autism?

Do you know of any children who have been diagnosed with Autism? If so, at what age were they diagnosed?

Autism is caused by the bombardment of a compromised immune system via vaccines and environmental toxins and in many cases by an impaired ability to detoxify heavy metals and toxins fast enough-this is called impaired methylation.

My son was has severe autism and was diagnosed at 22 months old.

My son was officially diagnosed at age 5...they had trouble pin pointing it for years. I think he was fine until his shots at 2 yrs old

autism cant be diagnosed until school age. how ever if it is sever enough symotoms can be recognized as eairly as 1 year old. if a child is developing slower than usual generally the doctor will do a hearing test and a few other test to rule out any other possibilities before exploring the chance of autism, if they do tell you they think your child might show autistic symptoms keep in mind there are all diffrent levels of autism and some small children out grow some symptoms. thats why you cant diagnose autism until they are about school age. as far as the cause no one really knows some say that the shots we give our children are responsible then again alot of people argue that. there isnt really one thing that the can blame for autism. kinda like the cold. there is alot of information online about autism. i wish you luck.

Well goto yahoo websearch and type cellphone autism
when pregnant women use the cell phone radiation is immitted by the phone. this causes brain damage in the fetus (theory)
your blood is also recieving radition. Cell phone companies are keeping this quiet.

for you men who like to argue that the cell phone is not close enough to the womb.

you dumbster forget that most women carry their cellphone in there purse. when it rings the phone is right next to the fetus you dumbster.

addition to what that guy after is saying

what you are seeing in children today is not autism it is brain damage from cell phone emr you people call it autism note:some kids have minor brain damage. So what is taking place here is a miss diagnoisis. it is brain damage not autism. 2nd
the rate was 1 in 10000 before 1996 in 1997 it was 1 in 150 in california its 1 in 100 the price of cellphone came down to $100.00 in 1997 world wide and this increase in autism is found in cell phone countries world wide. keep in mind some cultures in europe the woman don't use new tech when pregnant. your statement was already factor in the cell phone theory

Autism is not brain damage. A lot of autistics are geniuses.
Others are excellent athletes.

It is not a neurological defect. There are no neurological or chemical or genetic tests for it.

Autism is listed on the DSM IV, which is a list of psychiatric disorders. It is an emotional regression to infancy--a withdrawal from the world.

The only reasonable theory I have ever found on the etiology of autism is that it is caused by psychological shock. The sensitivity, or susceptibility, to psychological shock is caused by one or more of the following: caesarean birth, premature birth, being born precocious, being born blind or being born a twin. Any trauma shortly after birth also results in hypersensitivity. Also, babies can become hypersensitive to shock if they suffer from severe illness or severe neglect.

A super-sensitive child is predisposed to autism. He will experience shock more intensely than other children. In other words, even a minor trauma like a bad reaction to a shot can trigger autism in a predisposed child. That's what happened to a very obviously predisposed child just recently in the news:
