Obviously Plan for the best doesn't have an autistic child or a member of the family who is autistic.. The statement about no increase in autism and it being re-defined is ridiculous. I know hundreds of autism families and there is no way one could mistake a shy person from an autistic one .. This person knows nothing about autism.
A huge correction needs to be made with this article. Thimerosal IS NOT out of vaccines so the media needs to stop saying this and get the facts right. It is in 90% of the flu vaccines recommended for pregnant women and children over the age of 6 months(25 micrograms) and is also still in large amounts in 11 of the childhood and young adult vaccines. many of the other vaccines are processed with thimerosal and then it's taken out leaving trace amounts still in the shots. It has never been proven that injecting any amount of mercury into the body is safe. So to say that thimerosal doesn't cause autism is not true either. It has not been proven not to cause it. I hope this paper will make a correction in tomorrow's paper. Maurine Meleck North Augusta, SC
Ms. Keller has written an excellent letter to the editor about autism and I want to thank her.. Autism is so much more than just a disability. It's a metabolical disease affecting every organ in the body causing immune dysfunction, oxidative stress and often mitochondrical disorder. For too many years it's been treated as a psychological disorder. When doctors and the public in general understand this, perhaps they will treat the children differently. We need an independent vaxed vs unvaxed children study once and for all to settle this controversy.. Maurine Meleck South Carolina grandmother to 2 vaccine injured children-one recovered.
Prevalence of autism to increase, experts say
