Guest guest Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Surely not Dr. Offit? “There are likely multiple causes of the autism spectrum of disorders. Most scientists agree that today’s research will show that a person’s genetic profile may make them more or less susceptible to ASDs as a result of any number of factors such as infections, the physical environment, chemical exposures, or psychosocial components.†Any guesses? It wasn’t me, though it sounds like something I have been saying for quite some time. DK Check out smokin' hot deals on laptops, desktops and more from Dell.

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 Gotta be Offit, it seems too much of a smack in the face for it not to be. Gerberding is my second guess. But wait, maybe it isn't the enemy? Maybe its someone that wants to help us and someone that may have some authority next administration? Oh , you are such a tease. > > " There are likely multiple causes of the autism spectrum of disorders. > Most scientists agree that today's research will show that a person's > genetic profile may make them more or less susceptible to ASDs as a > result of any number of factors such as infections, the physical > environment, chemical exposures, or psychosocial components.

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 My guess is that it wasn't Gerberding herself, but one of her lackeys at the CDC. This Minnesota/Somali mess is not going away and so they are probably trying to appease as many people as possible.“There are likely multiple causes of the autism spectrum of disorders.

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 I was just trying to imagine what " psychosocial " component might be horrific enough to actually make a child withdraw into a permanent shell. It would have to be bad beyond belief. The usual fridge mom psychosocial theories are ridiculous when held up to actual reality. My husband's mother described seeing so many slums in South America where many children essentially raise themselves or are raised on the streets by siblings working as prostitutes, etc. Terrible neglect, violence, and all that. But no autism until charity and health organizations got in there with the shots. > > > > Psychosocial components...hmm.
