This thought process, which my own ped quoted to me too, really bothered me - so much so that I did a little digging to find out if that was actually true. Did autism really normally show up at 18 months? Was it coincidental that the MMR was also at that time? Well - it turns out that in the days when autism was 1 in 10,000 that it was known from birth that there was something different about these children. Now we have " regressive autism " that appears at around 18 months - that is what has been on the increase these past 15 years. Regressive autism is what is responsible for the stats to now be 1 in 250. (or 1 in 175 as the recent UK stats show) Below I have pasted a quote from Dr. Rimland's testimony Before House Committee on Government Reform April 6, 2000 They claim that autism naturally occurs at about 18 months, when the MMR is routinely given, so the association is merely coincidental and not causal. But the onset of autism at 18 months is a recent development. Autism starting at 18 months rose very sharply in the mid-1980s, when the MMR vaccine came into wide use. A coincidence? Hardly! So - what my kid has is different from the 1 and 10,000 from years ago. This is a new type of Autism that our peds don't understand and are being told the party line that it " normally appears around 18 months anyway " which is what our ped told us. Dr. Rimland would know - he's been in this field for decades - long enough to spot a trend and to know that what we are seeing is new. That is just my 2 cents - and research. I am not a doctor, but I can read. Moira Mom to Vico (ASD 4) and Culzean (10.5 months - not vaccinated) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 28, 2001 Report Share Posted March 28, 2001 Oh, we have all heard that from the doctors. They are just covering themselves from lawsuit. Can you imagine what would happen if (or when) they prove the connection?? We have been gfcf and are considering Feingold. Any suggestions for surviving the stage one? -Phyllis immuno and autism > at my son's well check last week, the peds told us the vaccines keep getting > proven that it's not the link to autism andit's the " age " that 18 months or > whatever taht autism appears. just fyi., since we just got back form the > peds > > private email welcome! > JoyceW, So Calif, divorced, work FT, new to all this...... > 5y6m old son, Aspergers, no dx yet, but Mom's observations.... > Feingold diet www.Feingold.Org. ; considering GFCF > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
