?>>>> I personally think there may be a link between autism and electromagnetic fields. Computer usage went way up in the early 90s and that coincided with the increase in autism. The electromagnetic fields from electronic equipment might be the cause. How far do you sit away from the computer and monitor? Three feet at most. That could affect an unborn fetus.
More LCD today as opposed to CRT monitors in the 90's... That's an interesting point... Remains to be seen...
prior to 1985 most kids with autism ended up being classified as juvenile schitzipherenia(forgive my spelling) and retarded
the percent of kids with (using an oold outdated term) retardation/mental incompacity/autism has stayed mostly level...the differewnce is that instead of having 3 JS, 1 AUT, 6 retards (10 kids) out of 1000....now its just 10 autism/asperger out of 1000 (1 in 100)
the same with in the 80's when the liberals have many of the institutions closed because it was 'inhuman' to lock these people up....now they are the growing population of HOMELESS (85% of homeless at mentally ill)
btw there has not been mercury in ANY VACINE since 2001
Reagan closed the mental institutions in the 80's... There's still mercury in most if not all vaccines...

uhm..nope liberals and the democrta controled congress did
and there is NO MERCURY in any vacines anymore.......
......has not been for a decade:July 7, 1999 when a joint statement was issued by the U.S. Public Health Service and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) supporting the FDA’s directive to the vaccine manufacturers to eliminate mercury (in the form of Thimerosal, a preservative) from vaccines. the last thimerosal vacines were produced in 2001
and many things can effect kids and brains
Bacteria Also Cause Brain Inflammation and damage
Encephalitis has always been the most dreaded complication of pertussis or whooping cough, with endotoxin and pertussis toxin in the B. pertussis bacteria responsible for most of it. Pertussis toxin is one of the most lethal toxins in nature and can cross the blood brain barrier when conditions are right. It has long been known that a severe case of whooping cough accompanied by brain inflammation symptoms such as fever, lethargy, vomiting and seizures can be fatal or cause permanent brain damage ranging from seizure disorders and mental retardation to learning, personality and behavioral disorders. Mnukhin and Isaev also found a high incidence of epileptic seizures in autistic children, indicating autism has an organic, neurological basis. They were soon joined by other autism researchers who asserted that the symptoms of autism are grounded in dysfunction of the nervous system . Deykin and MacMahon (American Journal of Epidemiology) agreed that the high rate of abnormal EEG’s and seizures in autistic children suggested neurologic damage. They pointed out that the central nervous system is not fully developed at birth and may be at special risk for brain damage from viral infections in the first year of life. They concluded that "viruses with encephalitic potential, especially those occurring during gestation or during the first few months of life might be associated with the development of certain childhood mental illnesses."
Currently, according to the CDC, the following vaccines which are marketed as mercury free, actually do have mercury in them (less than 3mcgs per vaccine, but still dangerous to human health).
DTaP (Tripedia)
DTaP/HIB (TriHIBit)
DT (Sanofi)
Hep B (Engerix-B)
Hep A/Hep B (Twinrix)
Influenza (Fluarix, Flulaval, Fluvirin and Fluzone brands)

Electromagnetic fields have absolutely no effect on human physiology, regardless of its strength.
Have mutant monsters started crawling up out of holes in the ground yet?
Sorry kind hijacked the thread to see what is the craziest thing this poster believes. It is soooooo hard to choose!
