Thread Name: BS: Aspergers Syndrome?
Subject: RE: BS: Aspergers Syndrome?
When I was a little kid, the great scourge for children was Polio. Governments went all out to find a cause and cure. At that time 1 out of every 2500 kids was affected by Polio. Today 1 out of 150 fall in the autism spectrum disorder and 1 out of every 9 male children with be affected yet there is little government support. Families with Autistic kids live in a hell little could understand. I watched people lose their house, car and their savings trying to help their child because the drug companies don't cover the meds. Why, because of the classification, some drugs that work for autistic kids are not "classified for autistm" so the parents pay out of pocket. It is the great scourge to our children today and something better be done to help. The mercury in the vaccines they say is not the cause yet I watched a beautiful little baby fade away to nothing right after the shot. The problem is, no money is spent to really test it that is one of the causes. Why, the big drug companies and their lobbyist prevent that. It is our kids we are talking about and we are losing them.

If you PM me I will get you the info you need. I do a lot of volenteer work for the autism community
