The dictionary definition of "autism" is:  a serious mental condition that makes it difficult for someone to react to and communicate with other people.

Most of the children I have met whose parents tell me are "autistic" seem completely normal.  Some of them are a little reclusive or less willing to engage with others but, when the mood strikes, they can be very engaging.  

I've come to believe that many "autistic" children--as well as "autistic" adults--are people who have been drugged over many years by prescription medications ostensibly to control "ADHD" but in reality are designed to sedate normally active children.  As these children age, they are trained to think of themselves alone and to act disconnected to reality, but they are not physically different from the rest of society.

This is not to say that there truly are people who could genuinely be considered "autistic", but when one reads the lives of the saints one cannot escape the realization that many of them would be diagnosed as "autistic" if they were alive today.  Instead of being nurtured they would have been medicated.

I don't believe it's vaccines, I believe it's massive overdiagnosing.

Yes, certain people with actual autism will have severe mental retardation, function at a preschool level and die in a group home, never being able to function independently.

But an introverted kid who knows all about trains does not an autistic kid make.

I have Asperger's syndrome, and I can tell you that autism has nothing to do with mental health but rather with neurological health. It's a neurodevelopmental disorder. Please stop propagating the tired misinformation that it's a "mental illness."

No wonder the MSM keeps trying to say there is no physiological origin of autism.

Autism is a form of brain damage caused by ischemic events in the brain.

And, yes - caused by vaccination.

A restriction of blood flood causes brain damage. Read Anrew Wakefield's work.

Is there a way to reverse it?

I have recently read that that there seems to be a link between "Autism" and First trimester baby ultrasounds. Have anyone heard of this?

Yes, though it is vehemently denied by your average doctor. Many natural birthing centers will suggest you not have an ultrasound before 20 weeks because of it. I've not done enough research on it to definitively say yes or no, though I lean towards 'better to be safe than sorry".

There are some who say yes, and have techniques for that. Don't know what the success rates are.

Someone wrote in, and wanted to add this:

Acetaminophen as a cause of the autism pandemic? It makes absolutely no sense … at first.

This is an interesting article.  I did not know that acetaminophen was derived from coal tar.  I wonder if this has any similar negative effects on adults.  I note that the warning labels for acetaminophin indicates that people need to be very cognisant of the dosage of the drug used in various medications and ensure they limit the amount taken.
