If you think it?

I personally don’t belive this at all, but here it is anyhow, here is the blog for today…

A doctor named Dr. Geerd Hamer says that the psychological reason for autism is due to the mother experiencing profound feelings of rejection during, or even preceding her pregnancy. She may be a perfectionist, feeling judged, or feeling that no matter what she does it’s wrong – she feels worthless.  

If I were to speculate, I’d say this may fit the profile of quite a few women who try to be everything for everyone, shouldering work responsibilities, being good wives, lovers and mothers.

This child is the creation of her and her husband, and whatever happens in their psyche is therefore “imprinted” upon the child. In a biological sense, it’s like programming your offspring with information it will need to be better able to deal with the environment it’s coming into.  Dr. Hamer believes that once your child is “primed” for shutting down mentally and emotionally in this way, when a trigger is added to the mix, such as mercury, it might set off cellular degeneration leading to the onset of autism.

AUTISM, CELL PHONES and WIRELESS COMPUTERS

As we know today that the rate of autism in Canada and the United States is 1 in 150 children, according to new reports, there has been a horrific increase from the end of the 1970s, when the ratio of autism was 1 in 10,000, which was before the cell phone, wireless and similar technologies were introduced into the environment that produce radio waves which now point to electromagnetic radiation stress, which increases with cell phone and wireless use, as one of the potentially major root causes of the explosion of autistic cases in the past two decades.

There is no doubt that we are seeing a severe epidemic rise of autism in children and the widespread use of electronics and wireless devices may well be a factor that has been also ignored!
This MAY be a potentially groundbreaking link between electromagnetic pollution and the crippling of cellular detoxification and could very well play a central role in autism as well as OTHER chronic illness of all types in all ages. 

As we know that heavy metals are a very strong component dealing with Autism, this toxic pollution entering the body is created from transmitting data as information carrying radio waves known as electromagnetic radiation.   Along with the information of needles, with more cell phone towers and cell phones being use globally the risk for autism continues to rise!

RAISE YOUR VOICE FOR THOSE WHO CAN’T!!!

For those of us living with autism, the reality of this heartbreaking disorder occupies a monumental proportion of our time, thoughts and energy. And we are exhausted. During April, we reach out to our families, friends, neighbors, business leaders and politicians to take up our cause. It’s our opportunity to help them understand our children and the crisis of autism affecting our nations

You can help teach the general public about the rising incidence of autism and Cure Autism Now’s efforts to stem this tide through education, treatment and scientific research. We need to highlight our children’s strengths, while showing their challenges. We need parents of toddlers to understand the signs, so that other affected children can receive early intervention and improved outcomes. We need to push for greater understanding and significant increases in funding for education and research, so that we can achieve our goals of treating and curing autism. We need to spread the message of hope, for our children and for future generations.

APRIL IS AUTISM AWARENESS MONTH

April is Autism Awareness Month, when the autism community makes a collective effort to bring public attention to the autism epidemic. With the rising rate of incidence, autism has become a national concern. Cure Autism Now will be highlighting autism awareness through media outreach, corporate partnerships and special events. We’ve collected some ideas on how you can help promote awareness and understanding while sharing Cure Autism Now’s message of hope.

According to Centers for Disease Control statistics, autism now affects as many as one in every 166 children born in the United States. Autism is the fastest-growing developmental disability in the United States. A child is diagnosed with autism every 20 minutes. That’s why we say that if you don’t know someone with autism, you will soon.

Asperger’s Syndrome

Asperger’s syndrome is a neuro-biological disorder that affects the brain.  People who have Asperger’s  seem very “normal” and are often of average or above average intelligence.  There is 1 in every 500 people in Canada and the United States who have this dysfunction.  This can include language disabilities to sensory problems and physical awkwardness.  Some Individuals with Asperger’s Syndrome have a variety of characteristics and can range from mild to severe and they can have difficulty with their social skills, or with transitions or changes and prefer sameness.  They often have obsessive routines and may be preoccupied with a particular subject of interest.  It is very important to remember that the person with Asperger’s Syndrome perceives the world very differently and that their behaviour which may seem odd or unusual is due to the neurological differences and not because they are intentionally displaying rudeness or bad behaviour, and most certainly not the result of “improper parenting”.  Those who have Asperger’s are very intelligent, extremely structured and have no social awareness as they are often very literal.

MAKE SURE YOU READ THIS!

THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO ARE SPEAKING UP ABOUT AUTISM AWARENESS ARE THE PARENTS WITH AUTISTIC CHILDREN AND SO FAR THAT IS  NOT ENOUGH.

DO YOUR RESEARCH AND SPEAK UP.  THINGS ARE NOT GOING TO CHANGE UNLESS WE SPEAK FOR OUR CHILDREN WHO CAN’T!

PARENTS OF AUTISTIC CHILDRENS STORIES TIME AND TIME AGAIN, ARE ALL THE SAME.  THEIR CHILD WAS FINE, HAPPY, PLAYFUL, NORMAL…THEN WITHIN WEEKS, EVEN DAYS, THERE CHILD WAS WITHDRAWN AND NOT THEMSELVES AND SOON TO BE DIAGNOSED WITH AUTISM.

80 % OF PARENTS NOTICED A CHANGE IN THERE CHILD WITHIN WEEKS, EVEN DAYS AFTER OF RECIEVING IMMUNIZATIONS .

UNFORTUNATELY NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE KNOW EXACTLY WHAT AUTISM IS OR HOW THESE CHILDREN GET IT UNTIL ITS TOO LATE.

 THIS IS WHY I AM POSTING THESE BLOGS! 

CHILDREN TODAY ARE GIVEN 36 VACCINES AND NOW 1 IN EVERY 150 CHILDREN HAVE AUTISM.

WE NEED MORE PEOPLE TO BE AWARE THAT MERCURY, FORMALDEHYDE, ALUMINUM, ANTIFREEZE, AND OTHER DEADLY INGREDIENTS ARE PUT INTO OUR CHILDRENS VACCINES.  THIS IS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE STOPPED!!!!

and nothing but the truth…

TO PEOPLE WHO THINK THEY HAVE TO VACCINATE… 


If you think that you are not a good parent if you don’t vaccinate your children, the doctor’s wouldn’t lie to you or there a great chance that your child would get some of the diseases that have not been around in YEARS! Or the schools won’t admit my child, and the pharmaceutical companies have your best interest in hand,

Now here is the real truth.  DOCTORS LIE! Some of the disease have not been around for YEARS! There are waivers to have your child in school without vaccinations, and the pharmaceutical companies make billions of dollars in profits to make you more sick!

OVER 80% OF PARENTS WITH AUTISTIC CHILDREN SAY THEY BELIEVE IMMUNIZATIONS CAUSED THERE CHILDS AUTISM.

IN THE 1980′S OUR CHILDREN WERE GIVEN 10 VACCINES = AT THAT TIME, AUTISM WAS 1 IN EVERY 10,000 CHILDREN.

YOU do the math!

1 in 150…. Could Your Child Be The 1?

20min.jpg

Autism is part of a group of disorders known as Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD).  It is more common than cancer, aids, multiple sclerosis and diabetes combined.  It is four times more likely found in boys than girls of all ethic, racial and social groups.  As it is complex, it impairs a person’s communication and relations to others and causes repetitive behaviours and unusual routines from mild to severe.  Obsessions of arranging objects can also be found.  1 in 150 children are diagnosed with Autism and 1 in 94 boys are on the spectrum.  A new case is diagnosed every 20 minutes and 67 children are diagnosed per day.  This is the fastest and still growing developmental disability in the United States and in Canada.  It is also the most poorly funded as it receives less than 5% of research funding of other childhood diseases and it costs over $90 billion dollars per year which is expected to double in the next decade.  As there is no cure for Autism, and no medical detection, this is a very serious issue that requires more research and funding.

The Five Types

gothautism.jpg

There are 5 types of Pervasive Developmental Disorders as they come in many combinations of characteristics and different levels that affect the way people speak, socialize, play and react to their environment.

Below are definitions and characteristics of these five disorders.

Classic Autism is those who have severe problems relating to people and speaking.  Most are very hypersensitive to their environment as certain colours, sounds or textures can upset them.  Most have set rituals and are compulsive as doing simple things like eating the same foods or watching the same shows on television every day at the same times as changes in their daily routine can set them off and upset them.

Childhood Disintegrative Disorder is a form of autism that develops in children who at first seem normal.  Around the ages of 2 and 4 the child stops speaking and socializing, can stop playing and interacting with others, and has lost potty training skills.  Some can even lose their motor skills.

Asperger’s Syndrome is a type of autism that does not have language delays but causes problems with social and communication skills and can be socially awkward and may not understand conventional social rules or may show a lack of empathy or have limited eye contact.  They can be unengaged in a conversation and not understand the use of gestures but they also have average or above-average intelligence level.

Rett Syndrome usually affects girls and is marked by poor head growth.  This can cause poor verbal and social skills as they can have repetitive hand movements. 

Pervasive Developmental Disorder­ Not Otherwise Specified is where some but not all of these symptoms from all the above categories are characteristics found.  This is most common and forms of each could be combined into one.
