Anyone with Asperger's here?
Any good resources to read for trad Catholics thinking they have Asperger's? (Fr. Ripperger told me there isn't any literature on Asperger's from a Catholic perspective.)

(Fr. Ripperger told me there isn't any literature on Asperger's from a Catholic perspective.)
Right, but there are movies now which make Asperger's syndrome look cool.
One recent movie is ...
.
The Accountant (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBfsgcswlYQ)
.
As a result some women think that having a child with Asperger's syndrome
would be cool. Some actually think Autism is cool. It's not.
.
Asperger's Syndrome is an Autism-Spectrum Disorder, that may not be
diagnosed at all or not diagnosed as Autism. Any Autism type of disorder
is not normal and not better than normal. It is a decrease in mental ability,
even though some mental abilities seem increased. The other movie is:
.
Rainman (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095953/videoplayer/vi1846975001)
.
After researching this for many years, the best book I have found is:
.
Vaccination, Social Violence and Criminology
(the medical assault on the American brain). (https://www.amazon.com/Vaccination-Social-Violence-Criminality-American/dp/1556430841/ref=sr_1_1?crid=328OYLPAWVTRV&keywords=vaccination+social+violence+and+criminality)
.
It explains something that very few people understand. The cause of
all Autism Spectrum Disorders is vaccinations. Autism is progressing
so rapidly that genetics cannot be the cause.
.
The other misunderstood phenomenon is what's called Minimal Brain
Damage (MBD). Most children are getting some kind of MBD from
vaccinations, some more than others. Even if they are not diagnosed
as Autistic, then are likely to have some MBD. And how can you prove
they don't get MBD. Impossible, unless there is a twin who was not
vaccinated.
.
This book is not necessarily Catholic, but it is scientific and not anti-
Catholic.
.
And unfortunately Catholics are not aware of the problems caused
by vaccinations or the cause of Asperger's.
.
And horror of horrors, Fr Peter Scott (fsspx) wrote an articles for
The Angelus, many years ago, saying that vaccinations are just a
normal part of life and there is nothing wrong with vaccinations.
.
So, seeking out a Catholic source on Asperger's might be useful,
but I doubt that you will find the total truth there.
.
If I'm wrong, please let me know.

People with Asperger's probably have some kind of sensitivity to certain foods.
It's good to learn what foods cause nervousness or some similar problems.
.
About getting rid of Asperger's ... some homeopathy practitioners claim to have
a cure. I'm skeptical, but there's no harm in trying homeopathy.

That was not my post but I agree wholeheartedly.
The name of that book is:

Asperger's is a form of Autism. The word autism gives it away. Autism = selfism, the difficulty in communicating with others. Definitely not a good thing, and a bar to going out to others as our faith teaches us to do. It is a real tragedy/ problem for sufferers. A way to undo the damage, anybody?...
-
The most effective treatment for these Autism Spectrum disorders
was done by Dr. Alan Cott. Here is a link to the article:
Controlled Fasting Treatment for Schizophrenia
http://orthomolecular.org/library/jom/1974/pdf/1974-v03n04-p301.pdf (http://orthomolecular.org/library/jom/1974/pdf/1974-v03n04-p301.pdf)
.
While fasting for 21 days (for the worst cases) might seem drastic, it illustrates the best method
is detoxification. Especially detoxification of Aluminum which is found in abundance in the brains
of Autistic people.
.
If you don't fast you can still try to avoid foods which are harmful. And there are many harmful
foods in your average American grocery store. Organic is better. Try avoiding peanuts, wheat,
eggs, milk, citrus fruits, MSG and others.
-
Being on a strict diet is not a cure, however.
If possible, find a homeopathic doctor who has experience in treating
Autism, Asperger's, etc. This will be hard to find (based on my experience).
-
I should add that medication for Asperger's and Autism does not help.
In fact, medication makes people worse. It may appear that the medications
are doing some good for the first two years, but the 20-year study, done
by Dr. Martin Harrow, shows that the medication has disastrous results
after two years.

Anon, the links you provided say nothing about autism or aspergers. There are no drugs for the treatment of autism. There are however drugs that may be used to control irritability and other unpleasant behaviours... and yes definitely stay away from them.
There are posters here who have aspergers. If you do a search you may come up with some of them.

Schizophrenia is an Autism Spectrum Disorder. There definitely are drugs being given to people
with Autism Spectrum Disorder. I have first hand experience with this, a relative of mine.
.
If you could be more specific. I could give you more information. Drugs are being given for all
kinds of things, even Social Anxiety Disorder (such as stage fright when you give a speech).
.
Aspergers does not get as much attention as Autism Spectrum Disorder, but I guarantee you
that it only takes about 5 minutes of talking to a psychiatrist to get a prescription for some
tranquilizer or anti-psychotic or bipolar medication.
.
I have first hand experience with this also.

.
"The diagnoses are becoming almost innumerable including LD, ADHD, OCD, oppositional defiant disorder,
bipolar disorder, and Asperger’s and autistic spectrum disorders. Increasingly children also fall victim to
psychological tests that allegedly identify frontal lobe dysfunctions characterized by inattention or flawed
executive functions."
[6th paragraph in the article].
.
And ...
.
"Like the diagnoses, the drugs administered to children have mushroomed to involve every class of psychiatric medication, including stimulants, antidepressants, tranquilizers, mood stabilizers and antipsychotic agents. The FDA has increasingly given official approval for giving children especially deadly anti-psychotics such as Risperdal, Zyprexa, Geodon and Seroquel (https://breggin.com/brain-disabling-treatments-in-psychiatry/). Meanwhile, anything that can sedate the child’s growing brain from anti-hypertension drugs to anti-seizure drugs are routinely dispensed with callous disregard for their harmful impact."

I haVe no doubt you know your subject and that there are great abuses with psych drugs.
My main poin is to point out that there is no thereutic pharma treatment for autism, only for controlling behaviour. But tht is not treating autism.
IT is important that those who are concerned are aware.

I studied Asperger's while getting my B.A. in Speech Pathology.
And yes, our instructors advised us that vaccinations, MSG, all pesticides, all herbicides, sodium laurel sulfate (shampoo and toothpaste), preservatives (again look at the ingredients in shampoo and conditioner) are suspected in both Asperger's and Autism. Even fingernail polish used by the mom during her pregnancy can affect the unborn child. And yes, it is very important to eat organic foods as many grains and beans are sprayed with Round Up (Glyphosate) just prior to the harvest to help the dry the grain and prevent mold. Glyphosates are airborne, are found in water, and are more prevalent in agricultural areas especially in the Sacramento Valley, San Joaquin, Bakersfield, Oxnard, and Imperial Valley of California. Thus, children living in these areas have higher rates of not only autism and aspergers, but also cancers and tumors of all kinds. I have seen some horrible facial disfigurations in newborn children due to their exposure to agricultural chemicals in utero.
I worked with severely disabled children with these diagnoses. It was heartbreaking. Worse was the condition of their parents who were angry and in denial. These parents also must be given help or they can make the condition of their children even worse.
Drugs just dull the symptoms, or make the symptoms worse due to the side effects.
Diet does help, but it may be difficult to encourage a child to eat what is beneficial especially if the school is offering candy, cookies, graham crackers, and cupcakes filled with sugar, eggs, wheat, artificial flavorings, artificial colorings, and preservatives. When I was working with these children, staff regularly gave these treats to the children. Not good.
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on us and save us. Save the innocent children who know not what they do.

Right, there are no psychiatric drugs that "cure" Autism.
.
The underlying physical symptom is a demyeilination
of nerves, even nerves in the brain. And the drugs used
to "treat" Autism Spectrum Disorder are of the SSRI
(Selective Serotonin Reuptate Inhibitors) type, specifically
because they interfere with brain activity.
.
Dr Peter Breggin says these drugs are like giving the
patient a chemical lobotomy. His book, which I bought,
is probably the best book available:

Dr. Russell Blaylock, MD, is another expert in this field of brain
chemistry. He explains how vaccinations cause Autism from a

There's something there causing neuro-toxicity that overstimulates the brain, the so-called excito-toxins. Vaccines do exactly that and can be what sets it off, but certain foods (gluten in particular) exacerbate the activity. People have reported significant reduction of symptoms by cutting out certain foods. MSG is also an excito-toxin.

Here is an article doing research into brain imaging of those with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
Note that the current diagnosis of Autism under the DSM-5 does not include all cases of Asperger's.
In my opinion, the DSM-5 is a very biased unscientific diagnostic tool that is unchristian and self-serving.
Children are being damaged in utero by vaccinations given to their pregnant mothers. In addition, with the
increased vaccination schedule, more children are being diagnosed with Autism and Asperger's every
year. Furthermore, the pervasive use of highly toxic preservatives found in shampoo, conditioners,
and in foods, the presence and increasing use of never tested (generally considered to be safe)
food additives including MSG, food enhancing agents, food coloring and preservatives in our foods
are all very suspect. These chemical additives used in our foods and personal care products should
never be used by humans, including moms, dads, and their children.
Check toothpastes containing the highly toxic fluoride rat poisoning. It is best to use plain sea salt and
baking soda to brush one's teeth. This is far less expensive. Baking soda and salt mixed with warm salt
water not only gets rid of plaque but also helps prevent gums and the mouth from infections.
"Brain overgrowth in childhood of ASD mediates a significant difference in geometry of the brain."
This very abnormal brain overgrowth has been seen in both Autism and in Aspergers.

Characteristics of Brains in Autism Spectrum Disorder:
Structure, Function and Connectivity across the Lifespan
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4688328/
Abstract
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a highly prevalent neurodevelopmental disorder
characterized by impaired social communication and restricted and repetitive behaviors
(RRBs).
Over the past decade, neuroimaging studies have provided considerable insights
underlying neurobiological mechanisms of ASD.
In this review, we introduce recent findings from brain imaging studies to characterize
the brains of ASD across the human lifespan.
Results of structural Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) studies dealing with total
brain volume, regional brain structure and cortical area are summarized.
Using task-based functional MRI (fMRI), many studies have shown dysfunctional
activation in critical areas of social communication and RRBs.
We also describe several data to show abnormal connectivity in the ASD brains.
Finally, we suggest the possible strategies to study ASD brains in the future.

INTRODUCTION
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent deficits in social communication and restricted repetitive behaviors (RRBs). Recently, there have been some changes in diagnostic criteria of ASD in The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)-5 (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). Several diagnoses have been integrated into one dimensional diagnosis, or ASD. As well, three criteria of ASD; (1) qualitative impairment in social interaction (2) in communication and (3) restricted repetitive and stereotyped patterns of behavior, interests, and activities have been reconstructed two domains; (1) persistent deficits in social communication and social interaction (2) restricted, repetitive patterns of behavior, interests, or activities [1 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4688328/#B1)].
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report, ASD affected nearly 1 in 68 children in the United States in 2014. In Korea, the prevalence of ASD was estimated to be 2.64% in school-age children [2 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4688328/#B2)]. The global prevalence of ASD has rapidly increased over time, however, the etiology for ASD has been poorly understood [3 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4688328/#B3)]. It is believed that ASD is a highly heritable disorder and that genetic susceptibility interacts with environmental factors in ASD etiology [4 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4688328/#B4)].
Neuroimaging is a powerful tool for in vivo study to investigate the brain structure and function. Since Horwitz et al. reported linkage of ASD to abnormal brain activity using Positron Emission Tomography (PET) [5 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4688328/#B5)], many brain imaging studies have been conducted and provided understanding the underlying neurobiological mechanisms of ASD [6 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4688328/#B6)]. As Lange et al. described ASD as a dynamic disorder with complex changes over time from childhood into adulthood [7 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4688328/#B7)], developmental perspective may help to understand some contradictory findings in ASD studies [8 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4688328/#B8)]. Therefore, it is meaningful to review about the ASD brain features depending on age. The objective of this review is to summarize recent findings from brain imaging researches and to show characteristics of ASD brains in terms of structure, function, and connectivity across the lifespan. By overviewing the previous researches, we will discuss abnormalities of ASD brains and will suggest the future directions of ASD research.

BRAIN STRUCTURES IN ASD
Since neuroimaging approach is one of the few methods that enable to make direct observation of the brain in vivo, Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI) studies have provided many implications of neurodevelopmental characteristics underlying ASD [9 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4688328/#B9)]. Although various results were shown from structural MRI (sMRI) studies over the past decade, there are abnormalities in gray and white matter with some regional brain differences between ASD and typically developing (TD) control [7 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4688328/#B7),10 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4688328/#B10),11 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4688328/#B11)]. Many sMRI studies have investigated volumetric and morphometric brain in order to examine atypical brain anatomy and neurodevelopment in ASD. Reviewing these findings provides insights into the neural substrates and autistic symptoms across the human lifespan.
Total Brain Volume
The most coherent finding is an accelerated total brain volume growth in early children with ASD around 2~4 years of age [10 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4688328/#B10)]. Many age-related studies have examined group differences in the total brain volume between ASD and TD. Fig. 1 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4688328/figure/F1/) is a plot of whole brain volume by age and group, ASD and TD control (TDC) [7 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4688328/#B7)]. As shown in Fig. 1 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4688328/figure/F1/), findings generally have evidence of its atypical developmental trajectory with enlarged brain volume in younger individuals with ASD [12 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4688328/#B12)], but decreased volume or no difference in older individuals with ASD compared to TDC [13 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4688328/#B13)]. Although it has not been identified abnormal brain maturation during adolescence and adulthood in ASD, brain development during early childhood in ASD seems to be predominated by an enlarged brain volume of the frontal and temporal lobes [14 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4688328/#B14)] followed by arrested growth and a possible declined volumetric capacity of the brain after around 10~15 years of age [7 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4688328/#B7)].
(https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4688328/figure/F1/)(https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4688328/bin/en-24-273-g001.jpg)
(https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4688328/figure/F1/)
Regional Brain Structure
The pathological mechanism that represents an ongoing enlargement of the brain is unclear. Recent progress has evidence that early overgrowth of ASD brain is caused by an accelerated expansion of cortical surface area but not cortical thickness before the age of 2 years [15 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4688328/#B15)]. It was a meaningful finding because it showed potential for clarification of the neurobiological mechanisms that might be deficient in ASD. An early white matter differences in ASD brains might explain the brain being connected atypically [16 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4688328/#B16)]. Thus, accelerated expansion of cortical surface area of the gray matter in ASD seems to be associated with impaired maturation of the cortical white matter.
The constituent parts of the neural systems associated with clinical symptoms in ASD were examined by many studies. Specific core regions have been suggested to mediate clinical phenotypes of ASD such as the frontotemporal lobe, frontoparietal cortex, amygdala, hippocampus, basal ganglia, and anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) [17 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4688328/#B17)]. For example, abnormalities in (1) the inferior frontal gyrus (IFG, Broca's area), superior temporal sulcus (STS), and Wernicke's area might be related to defects in social language processing and social attention [18 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4688328/#B18)], (2) the frontal lobe, superior temporal cortex, parietal cortex, and amygdala might mediate impairments of social behaviors [19 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4688328/#B19),20 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4688328/#B20)] and (3) the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) and caudate nucleus have been associated with RRBs of ASD [21 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4688328/#B21)]. Although deficits in these regions seem to be general in ASD, some findings proposed that abnormalities in these brain regions are not peculiar to ASD and seem to be common in other disorders such as obsessive-compulsive disorder, general anxiety disorders, and schizophrenia [22 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4688328/#B22),23 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4688328/#B23),24 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4688328/#B24)].
Zielinski et al. measured cortical thickness in various regions of ASD brains and reported accelerated cortical thinning in individuals with ASD aged 3~39 years in a longitudinal study [25 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4688328/#B25)]. Findings from a vertex-based measurements study suggested that individuals with ASD tend to have thinner cortices and reduced surface area by age-related effects [26 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4688328/#B26)]. These findings point that a plot of cortical development is curvilinear across the human lifespan and there are evidences of abnormal cortical expansion during early childhood followed by rapid cortical thinning during adolescence and adulthood.
Cortical Area
Brain overgrowth in childhood of ASD mediates a significant difference in geometry of the brain. Several neuroimaging studies have examined other aspects of the cerebral cortex, such as cortical shape and sulcal patterns. Abnormalities in cortical folding might be caused by mechanical tension of axonal white matter fibers pulling force on the neocortex [27 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4688328/#B27)]. Since cortical gyrification seems to be associated with an expansion of the outer cortical layers relative to the microstructural deeper layers of the gray matter, atypical cortical folding in the brains of children with ASD have been observed in several studies [28 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4688328/#B28),29 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4688328/#B29)]. These findings suggest that there is remarkably enlarged gyrification of the frontal lobe in children and adolescents with ASD [28 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4688328/#B28)]. Regional cortical folding is increased in bilateral posterior brain regions in individuals with ASD during early adolescence and adulthood [30 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4688328/#B30)]. Whereas, reduced local gyrification has been reported in the right inferior frontal and medial parieto-occipital cortices in children with ASD [31 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4688328/#B31)] and in the left supramarginal gyrus in individuals with ASD aged 8~40 years [32 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4688328/#B32)]. These various findings imply that the specific pattern of cortical gyrification has been altered across the lifespan and that genetic and environmental factors contribute to aspects of cortical geometry.

Here is an article doing research into brain imaging of those with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
"Brain overgrowth in childhood of ASD mediates a significant difference in geometry of the brain."
This very abnormal brain overgrowth has been seen in both Autism and in Aspergers.

These various findings imply that the specific pattern of cortical gyrification has been altered across the lifespan and that genetic and environmental factors contribute to aspects of cortical geometry.
Excuse me ... this is government propaganda. The US Government works
hand-in-hand with the pharmaceutical companies to make sure they are
protected from lawsuits. The CDC lied about the connection between Autism
and the MMR vaccine. Look up Thompson or watch the movie VAXXED:
.
VAXXED II (trailer) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGZHifUs7KY)
.
This article points the finger at
"genetic and environmental factors", saying they
"contribute to aspects of cortical geometry".
.
THIS is TOTAL BALONEY and PROPAGANDA (disinformation).
.
Autism is growing so fast that genetics cannot possibly be the cause.
The government is saying a lot about brain imaging and trying to make
it look like science has a handle on Autism. Wow ! Are you impressed ?
.
WHAT IS THE CAUSE ? They say such decisive things like:
"contribute to aspects of cortical geometry".
.
CONTRIBUTE ? Genetics contributes ? To WHAT ?
ASPECTS ?
.
This is like saying that when an earthquake causes a 20-foot high
tidal wave, that the Moon contributes to aspects of tidal waves.
.
By the year 2032, one half (50%) of the children will be Autistic, based
on the current growth rate. NOTE, boys are 4 times more likely to
get Autism than girls. 40% of the boys and 10% of the girls will have
Autism in 2032.
.
Genetics cannot do this.
.
Did you see any mention of vaccinations in the article ?? NO WAY !!
.
Finally. What good is it to know that brain geometry is different or
MAY be different in an Autistic person ??
.
We don't just want to look at abnormality, we want to STOP it. So,
WHAT IS THE CAUSE ?? Not what may contribute to aspects.
.
NCBI.NLM,NIH.GOV is government propaganda (disinformation).
.
Tooth paste does not cause Autism. Neither does MSG. A person
with Autism most likely has a stronger reaction to MSG, than a
normal person. But that is after the person gets Autism.
.
Maria, I've noticed that you like to DOMINATE a thread by dumping
huge articles into them with large type. Is somebody paying you
to do this ?

When my son was born, he was not autistic.
I can remember coming home from work, and he would see me, get a big smile, and scamper across the floor to me.
[crying now]
Then the time came for his 2year-old shots.
We had reservations because of the use of abortafacients, so we talked to our SSPX priest (but autism was not even in our minds).
He gave us an article from the Vatican which discussed the concepts of formal/material and proximate/remote cooperation in evil which concluded that using abortive vaccines was material remote cooperation, and therefore permissible.
The article did not fully assuage my conscience, but despite those moral stings, I took reluctant advantage of the liberty he and the modern Vatican were giving me, and I had my beautiful firstborn vaccinated.
My punishment was not long in coming.
Just a month or two later there was a dramatic change in his behavior.
He had developed autism.
I ruined my poor son. His autism is fairly profound, and he is clinically disabled.
I try hard not to blame that priest. I feel like if he had forbidden us from taking abortive vaccines, the autism would not have occurred.
And perhaps the autism was from another cause, as there were prenatal issues, and delivery issues involved as well.
But the timing and proximity of the shots to the change tells me otherwise.
And at the end of the day, I was the one who made the choice, not the priest.
Now my son will suffer his entire life because of my decision, and I live in a state of profound and persistent remorse because of it.
Why wasn’t I the one to be punished?!
My only consolation is that he is baptized, and being incapable of mortal sin, is guaranteed salvation.
Don’t make the same mistake I did.
You won’t want to live with guilt like this.

It's not your fault, because the information you needed was not available to you and you
were surrounded by liars and people who knew none of the truths about vaccinations.
It has been planned that way. The truth is kept from us by the government and the
pharmaceutical companies through propaganda. And your pediatrician, was not much
help either. He probably does not vaccinate his children, but will never tell you that.

Excuse me ... this is government propaganda. The US Government works
hand-in-hand with the pharmaceutical companies to make sure they are
protected from lawsuits. The CDC lied about the connection between Autism
and the MMR vaccine. Look up Thompson or watch the movie VAXXED:

This is why I listed my comments above before citing this article. Did you take the time to read my comments (in 2 point)?
If you have read this research and others, it is evident that some agent, most likely aluminum, mercury and other chemicals found in vaccines, our food, our personal care products, our rain, our water, and even the air we breathe thanks to geoengineering with lithium, stronthium and aluminum are all causing the brains of unborn children and children to establish weird connections. Their brains are not normal.
This is valid research. Once the brain is injured like this, there is little to be done. The wiring in the brain has gone crazy. This is why some children with autism can have very sensitive heads. They cry when their hair is combed or brushed because their neurons are growing in abnormal places.
Other children exhibit repetitive negative behaviors such as banging their heads repeatedly against the crib, the floor, the wall, etc. My younger brothers and sisters had this behavior. They would rock and bang their heads against the crib repeatedly. Somehow, they grew up almost normal although they now have serious forms of diabetes.
If caught very early in childhood, perhaps the neural damage can be minimized through remedial education, detoxification, and proper diets. Yes, our brain are plastic. In other words, they can change, but only if detox is done immediately.
Again, prevention is the best cure. However, living in a pure environment is not really possible today.
Look up at the sky. We in Los Angeles see geoengineering almost every day whether it is the fogging tankers out at sea or the jets and drones over our coastlines. It is insidious.

I took courses in research when studying for my degrees in college.
It is very important to read between the lines and reject false conclusions.
Very often pharmaceutical companies pay ghost writers to write articles and then pay college professors and researchers for the privilege of using their names to publish bogus research. Remember: college professors and researchers must publish a certain number of articles every year in order to retain their tenure or to obtain a pay raise or a better position. This pressure to succeed leads them to cheat. The academic arena stinks.
Brain research with MRIs and other scientific studies are less likely to be fake research, but their conclusions can be faked by recommending drugs.
Most often it is new pharmaceutical research and especially vaccine research that is totally fictitious in their search for FDA approval, which is frequently given especially when money is handed under the table.
If any doctor tries to convince you to take a new pharmaceutical drug or a new vaccine, run far away.

All this talk about the chemicals in the environment being suspect as a cause of Autism is total BALONEY.
I really think you are a disinformation agent.
.
You have totally missed the point in your "research" (which you studied in college -- wow!).
Millions of mothers are saying their child was FINE, before the vaccinations, but immediately or up to
three weeks later, their child disappeared and never came back to normal.
.
You obviously have not watched any videos by Dr. Russell Blaylock, who explains the biochemistry of
how the vaccines cause Autism.
.
BTW, vaccines go into a child's blood stream and into the brain. MSG in foods goes into the stomach,
big difference.
.
So stop with this disinformation propaganda about chemicals in the environment as a CAUSE of Autism.
.
Why did you put government propaganda in this thread in the first place. This so called "research" is
irrelevant and done to make the government look so scientific, while the disinformation is the last
sentence in the article.
.
"Brain has gone crazy" ? Can you explain that? You really should watch one of Dr Blaylock's videos
before you leave any more replies.

Nanoaluminum, lithium, fluoride and many other chemicals taken by mouth and/or breathed from the air do enter the bloodstream, and can cross the blood-brain barrier.
Those suffering from leaky gut syndrome, which is most likely the majority of Americans, do absorb food particles from the gut into the bloodstream. This is the cause of allergies, and can cause brain allergies too.
Mercury is very volatile just in case you have not studied chemistry.
People with amalgam fillings in their mouth are being poisoned by mercury, which is not dormant in the mouth. People who have these amalgam fillings are absorbing Hg into their blood and are also breathing Hg directly into their lungs, and into their brains.

This thread is about Asperger's Syndrome, an Autism Spectrum Disorder.
I have never heard of a case in which a mother brushed her child's teeth
and within hours the child had seizures or some other Autistic symptom.

So far, the only known cause of Autism is vaccinations, NOT chemicals in
the environment. Like I said, you should watch one of Dr Russell Blaylock's

I've listened to Blaylock. He speaks a lot about excito-toxins like MSG exacerbating Autism and having similar effects.
I've also listened to Blaylock, and have subscribed to his newsletters over many years. Excito-toxins like MSG, MSG-like substances, gluten, pesticides, herbicides, preservatives, food coloring, and food additives that are generally considered as safe (GRAS) do contribute to or worsen many illnesses including Autism, Aspergers, and the degenerative diseases like Parkinson's and Alzheimers.
Dr. Blaylock witnessed his own parents dying from degenerative diseases. This is why he is so passionate about alerting people to the dangers of excito-toxins which affect not only newborn babies, but all of us.
Furthermore, I am severely chemically sensitive, so much so, that I exhibit Asperger's-like symptoms whenever exposed to toxic chemicals. My brain just cannot function, so I say and do stupid things that mortify me.

My 16 yo son was diagnosed around age 4. Our remedy--traditional Catholic faith & morals, homeschooling, hard exercise, and teaching him to have a sense of humor. He has to stay busy because when he gets bored he can get into trouble. We never hesitated when he was acting aspie to say "Don't do that--it's weird." He's a great kid.
Same with my now 23 yr old. I refused to let them label him and turn him into a zombie with drugs. He's doing great now.

A child who was fine and healthy taking MSG and then completely
disappearing. That is what happens with vaccinations. And that
is caused by Aluminum adjuvants in the vaccines.

Who knows. MSG is a chemical. It could affect different people in different ways.
If MSG can make Autism worse, then it can cause Autism.
Not logical. MSG can negatively affect the brain because it's a chemical. If someone already has a damaged brain from autism, then ANY chemical can complicate this damage.

To say that MSG is equally as bad as vaccines is complete nonsense.
MSG can be detoxified from the body, by the body. Aluminum adjuvants
are much much harder to be detoxified.

The demyeilination caused by vaccines, cannot be caused by MSG.
If you think it can, show me the proof or a video.

... gluten ...
An interesting digression. I've actually seen reports of people whose symptoms improved dramatically after cutting out gluten.
Now, we could get into the subject of how modern wheat flour (that's been engineered, albeit not genetically) contains excessive gluten compared to the "ancient" flours. My wife has gluten issues, and so does one daughter ... and they have no reaction to the use of an ancient flour like Emmer and Einkorn (which would have been what Our Lord used during His institution of the Blessed Sacrament). I've often thought it would be really nice to use Emmer or Einkorn to make Hosts for Mass instead of the modern-butchered flours out there ... just because it's closer to what Our Lord used (not that the new ones would be invalid or anything, since they're still essentially wheat).
-
?? Because there are different degrees of autism.
It exacerbates the symptoms. Autistic people can have good days and bad days, and dietary/environmental things have been correlated to these ups and downs in terms of the symptoms. If you have an autistic child, I strongly recommend cleaning up the diet and removing gluten entirely. Gluten-free breads used to be terrible and expensive, but they're more and more common now. Even a discount grocery chain like ALDI has a wide selection of gluten free items that are very reasonably priced. I can't tell the difference in the pastas. Some breads are terrible, some OK. ALDI recently came out with a "wide pan" bread that it awesome; only thing is that it's a tad dry and crumbly compared to gluten bread, but it tastes just fine.
My oldest son seems to be "on the spectrum" ... but we have never had him diagnosed. He has lots of strange behaviors, and his brain seems to race a lot. He does much better when he's off gluten and dairy.
By the way, this son I regrettably subjected to the usual vaccine course until I learned better (when he was about 3 or 4), whereas the next child got very few, and the rest got none. He's the only one with these behavior/mental challenges.
-
And that
is caused by Aluminum adjuvants in the vaccines.
It's not JUST from the "adjuvants". There's a strong immune/inflammatory response to the vaccines themselves, and when children are subjected to such an aggressive course of vaccines (as in the most recent schedule) when they are still very young and developing, this leads to brain inflammation. It hasn't been ruled out, either, that MSG could CAUSE Autism. Assuming that an infant/young child were subjected to significant doses of the stuff from the early years on, who knows? But I don't think it's very common for younger children (0-4 years old) to consume significant amounts of MSG.

I realize that MSG causes a more severe reaction in a person with Autism,
but how does it make an Autistic person more Autistic ?
Processed MSG, aspartame, NutraSweet, AminoSweet, aspartic acid, and naturally occurring MSG found in aged cheeses like Parmesan, and in other foods such as soy-extract, soy sauce, tomato sauce, processed foods, processed packaged meats, brewer's yeast, sea foods, salad dressings, broth, crackers (gluten), potato chips, pretzels (gluten), sports drinks (AminoSweet), ice tea (AminoSweet), Splenda, and mushrooms can cause many individuals to become ill. Some become violently ill with asthma.
Reference: https://draxe.com/msg/
For example, within minutes after ingesting any kind of MSG, I develop severe migraine headaches, and even amnesia, with flu-like symptoms that can last for three days. Sometimes the amnesia becomes so bad that I do not know what has happened for an hour or more, what I have done, or where I have been. I lose all track of time. My allergist tested me and was shocked at my reaction. For me, MSG could act like a date-rape drug. I must avoid it like the plague.
I no longer subscribe to the Blaylock newsletter as Newsmax, the publisher, repeatedly charged me for a double subscription and would not refund me. They cannot be trusted. Dr. Blaylock had several articles on MSG and the deleterious effects of it being suspect in causing diabetes, cancer, degenerative diseases and worsening the condition of those with autism and aspergers.
I have read about patients with high functioning autism or aspergers who had previously controlled their symptoms through diet and living a healthy clean lifestyle, but when they were traveling and eating out and consequently exposed to MSG, they experienced a regression of their previous symptoms. Any sudden changes in their lifestyle or diet can be a recipe for a disaster and can aggravate the symptoms of autism and aspergers.
Note that the government considers MSG as a GRAS additive (Generally Regarded as Safe). As such, it need not be labeled on foods when t it occurs naturally or when it is added to processed foods. This is why processed foods are not recommended for those suffering from Autism, Aspergers, chemical sensitivities, allergies, etc.

Glutamate (E 620) Drinks, candy, and chewing gum are potential sources of hidden MSG and/or aspartame, neotame. and AminoSweet (the new name for aspartame). Aspartic acid, found in neotame, aspartame (NutraSweet), and AminoSweet, ordinarily causes MSG type reactions in MSG sensitive people.

Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is a flavor enhancer commonly added to Chinese food, canned vegetables, soups and processed meats. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has classified MSG as a food ingredient that's "generally recognized as safe," but its use remains controversial.

MSG: More than just a food additive. Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is the sodium salt of glutamic acid, a nonessential amino acid. High levels of MSG are naturally found in a range of food sources, including seaweed, soy sauce, parmesan cheese, tomatoes, and breast milk. The uniquely savory flavor associated with these foods is called "umami,"...

Very true.
When the mother eats anything containing MSG, it most likely will cross the placenta and can affect her unborn baby.
When I was pregnant with my son, I was very careful not to eat any foods that might cause him discomfort.

MSG makes the person worse, but that is temporary,

Aluminum has been found in the brains of Autistic
people many years after they have been vaccinated.
Whereas MSG does not stay in the body that long,
unless you keep getting it in your foods.

And if you have never been vaccinated, the MSG is
less likely to produce a terrible reaction.

Where are your sources? The above is only your opinion.
Dr. Blaylock and others have produced research that shows
that neural damage is caused by MSG and other chemical agents.
We should not only avoid the aluminum, mercury, and formalydehyde
in vaccines, all which damage the brain, but also MSG and other excito-toxins.
The glutamate industry is fully aware of the harmful effects of MSG,
that it is a toxic substance. They know that ingesting their toxin can
cause diabetes, adrenal gland malfunction, seizures, high blood pressure,

If we ingest anything that is toxic, then we are harming our bodies,
which are the Temples of God.
Therefore, we should avoid all chemicals which can harm us.

That's because some people's physiology and genetic makeup make them more impervious to the potential damage. It's the same reason some people get cancer and others do not when exposed to various carcinogens. There's been a linkage between various allergies that are becoming increasingly common and vaccines. Also, auto-immune disorders are on the rise. There are a broad range of inflammatory and auto-immune conditions that could be triggered by vaccines, only one of which is Autism.
You sound a person who's bought the big pharma and government propaganda regarding vaccines. Not only can they be harmful, most of them aren't even particularly effective (as demonstrated by studies). It's just about following the money ... and also about a certain cabal that want to damage and hurt people.

No, I'm a never-vaxxer educated person who does research.
.
They may have symptoms that are not detectable, like minimal brain damage (MBD),
that is explained in this book:
.
Vaccinations, Social Violence and Criminology (https://www.amazon.com/Vaccination-Social-Violence-Criminality-American/dp/1556430841/)
.
Sometimes symptoms are very subtle and not noticeable until age 18, 19, or 20.
That's what Dr. Blaylock says. Then all hell can break lose. I have a relative in
this catagory.
.
And furthermore, how can you be so sure that a psychiatrist or psychologist
is able to detect Ausitm in a person who has 1% of the symptoms. Medical
Science cannot detect cancer until it has already been there for 8 to 10 years.
.
Do you care if your child is 1% Austic or would you rather have your child be
normal.
.
Furthermore, show me the research that PROVES that vaccines prevent
diseases. All we hear is a repeat of the usual lies the a measles epidemic
is in progress and we had better vaccinate our children or else.
.
There is no research. It's a religion being perpetrated over and over through
the media and the ignorant and gullible take their children to get vaccinated.
.
If you can find some research if favor of vaccines, I will show you that it was
written by a ghost writer who is getting paid by a pharmaceutical company.
.
Before you vaccinate your children, you ought to find out if your pediatrician
vaccinates his children. Also ask to see the label on the vaccine container.

On May 14 of 2017, my new PCP told me I may well be on the autistic spectrum. He's probably right. It would explain a large number of challenges throughout my life. However, at age 60, I'm not going to bother getting a diagnosis. I've managed to figure things out for myself and there's nothing a psychiatrist can do for me other than take my money and slap a label on me!

He rejects any notion that there is a biological /neurological problem... he just has bad luck and is a failure at life and is terribly angry at God to the point that he says God does not intervene in the life of man, kind of like an Allah fixture. For him this seems true and hard to argue with- things never change for him.He used to pray (Rosary) but no longer. He gets many Traditional Masses said for him every month and most of my prayers for the past 35 years. I think that is why he is still alive.
Needless to say it was very painful reading this thread.

He gave us an article from the Vatican which discussed the concepts of formal/material and proximate/remote cooperation in evil which concluded that using abortive vaccines was material remote cooperation, and therefore permissible.
But material cooperation can be sinful. Designating it as "remote" in this case is quite arbitrary.

My wife has gluten issues, and so does one daughter ...
Even with non-GMO, pesticide-free, or organic flour?and they have no reaction to the use of an ancient flour like Emmer and Einkorn (which would have been what Our Lord used during His institution of the Blessed Sacrament).
Quinoa, which is gluten-free and thus low-glycemic, is very good; it's the only grain that provides all the amino acids ("complete 'protein'").
Also, St. John Chrysostom said Christ and His disciples ate nothing more than barley bread.

I'm the OP, and your son sounds a lot like me (except, by the grace of God, I pray the rosary and attend Mass daily).
I, too, "rejects any notion that there is a biological /neurological" basis for autism/Asperger's. To me, it seems primarily a spiritual or psychological issue, whose effects can redound into the body.
-
What do you expect the Church to do ?
The Catholic Church is not a health organization ?
I was expressing interest in the content of the OP, not "expecting" the Church to "do" something.

If your condition is "primarily a spiritual or psychological issue" then you don't have Asperger's.
I could easily qualify for Asperger's, but I don't like labels and diagnosis are not reliable (IMHO).
My symptoms showed up on allergy tests, so I know it's physical, not psychological.
Do you have any of the symptoms caused by vaccinations ?

I've noticed that every autistic child I've met had parents who seemed odd to me. I had always assumed that it was the stress of having an autistic child that made the parents weird now I wonder. At any rate I know a woman with an autistic son. She has terrible depression and obsessive compulsive behavior. Her parents and social worker and doctor all pressured her into getting an IUD with the argument andh that she can't risk having another child. Her husband had no say and I don't think he knows anything about the IUD to this day.
-
Since autism in the 70's used to be one out of 500 children and now it's one out of 30, parents must be getting exponentially weirder or the vaccines are getting more toxic and numerous.

My father is thought of as odd, in the eccentric sense. He's a retired physicist. Mom is prone to depression, but certainly wouldn't be called dysfunctional. The rest of us turned out "normal."

I think if autism/aspergers had a more apparent visible marker- such as the handicapped or blind have with their wheelchairs or canes and dark glasses- people would be much more aware and appalled at the situation when they saw the number of them; and would start demanding answers.

I think a lot of people don't even realize the difficulty.

To be fair, the majority of that is down to a change in classification. High-functioning autists, the kind who can get by in life independently but are just very poor socially etc., were not diagnosed as autistic back then.
That is not to say there is not a real increase. There is. But it's nowhere near as dramatic as that statistic would suggest.

50 vaccines by age 6. That's a lot more than I got.

Extrapolation of the statistics on Auitism rates,
indicates that in 2025, 50% of the children will be Autistic.
40% of the boys and 10% of the girls.

I'm still quite young and I don't remember getting even the tiniest fraction of that many. Obviously I wouldn't remember the ones as an infant, but in all my childhood I can remember I got maybe 2? One being measles, mumps, ruebella and the other being tetanus I think.
-
they said I had aspergers when I was younger... then later they said I didn't......but I don't think aspergers is a real thing....
I like to learn a lot about subjects..... how is that exactly a disorder? I like to learn about things in depth and I'm not a logical atomist.... I don't see that as a disorder

The word autism gives it away. Autism = selfism, the difficulty in communicating with others. Definitely not a good thing, and a bar to going out to others as our faith teaches us to do. It is a real tragedy/ problem for sufferers. A way to undo the damage, anybody?...
No. It is a different way to see the world that gives us certain crosses to bear. I feel sorry that you can't see anything good in it
-
Schizophrenia is an Autism Spectrum Disorder.
NO! Like those are two rather different conditions.
-
Dr. Russell Blaylock, MD, is another expert in this field of brain
chemistry. He explains how vaccinations cause Autism from a
scientific perspective. He is viciously attacked by mainstream
medical doctors, so he must be telling the truth about
vaccinations. Attacking the vaccine industry is like heresy in
our world of disinformation.
Do you ever consider that after many scientific studies all concluding that vaccines don't cause autism, it might be true that vaccines don't cause autism?
-
But material cooperation can be sinful. Designating it as "remote" in this case is quite arbitrary.
Really? When you deal with remote and proximate in moral theology, the use of stem cells from aborted babies to grow vaccines on is definitely remote. There are cases where this distinction is difficult but this isn't one.

t's called we completely changed the diagnostic criteria that included a whole bunch more people. I grew up in the 80s and didn't fit the diagnostic criteria then, but I am clearly autistic.
-
Also, there is no serious evidence that vaccines, MSG, GMOs, or similar cause autism. Nor is there evidence that homeopathy or a multiple week fast helps. Homeopathy is in fact no better than a placebo at anything.

1) Who funded those studies?
2) Since 1989, vaccine companies are exempt from legal liability stemming from their products, unless it can be shown that harm was incurred during clinical trials (i.e., an incentive NOT to do any safety testing);
3) Children born before 1989 have a 12.8% chance of developing a chronic disease; children born after 1989 have a 54% chance of developing a chronic disease;
4) Why can't my pregnant wife eat a tuna fish sandwich, because the tuna might contain trace amounts of mercury, but there is allegedly no danger in pumping liquid mercury (a vaccine adjuvant) directly into a child's system? If my pediatrician had no answer for that one, I bet you don't either.
5) I think you need to spend some time listening to Robert Kennedy Jr. a bit (also, Dr Buttar and Dr. Shiva).
No surprise a conciliar (i.e., nєω ωσrℓ∂ σr∂єr and fake Catholicism) priest would be completely taken, hook, line, and sinker with the plan to ruin humanity through vaccination.
PS: My child was ruined by vaccines. His whole personality changed in 30 days, and today he is profoundly autistic. There is absolutely no doubt at all that it was the result of vaccines. None of our other children had vaccines, and they are all perfectly healthy.

1. All kinds of sources from various national governments to corporations, to even anti-vaxxers funding one study that showed no connection between autism and vaccines. https://www.newsweek.com/anti-vaxxers-accidentally-fund-study-showing-theres-no-link-between-autism-and-379245 (https://www.newsweek.com/anti-vaxxers-accidentally-fund-study-showing-theres-no-link-between-autism-and-379245)
3. Do you know why chronic disease is now a much bigger problem than it was years ago? Because antibiotics and vaccines have taken away the top killers of human beings, then because we managed to turn deadly diseases into merely chronic ones.
4. a. Different types of mercury. b. Thimerosal is no longer used and autism didn't go down when removed.
5. I listen to the 99%+ of doctors and health experts.

Y
ou're mistaken with regard to the vaccines. There was a whistleblower who recently released a bunch of docuмents in which the CDC clearly knew about the strong vaccine->autism link, especially with MMR.

I watched a docuмentary about this, and the evidence against the CDC is damning.

Quinoa is great! I eat it regularly. However, strictly speaking, it's not a grain. But close enough.
As for barley, no disrespect intended, but how would St John Chrysostom have known this? And am I correct in understanding that the bread for Passover, or for the meal that preceded Passover and was the first Mass, had to have been wheat, not barley, not anything else?
I like barley as one of the grains in multigrain bread, and of course as the central ingredient in beer --- its "highest and best use".
-

Every person sees the world in a different way. We all have crosses to bear.
With respect, you have not even defined what you mean when you use the word autism.
I did not say that I can't see anything good in it. Those are your words, not mine. I said that autism is not a good thing. Any more than epilepsy or heart disease is a good thing.
-
Also, St. John Chrysostom said Christ and His disciples ate nothing more than barley bread.
I, too, question how Chrysostom, born 3 centuries after the Resurrection (i.e., born c. 347), could've known that they "ate nothing more" than barley bread. But he was an early Doctor of the Church, so I wouldn't rule out that detail being Divine revelation.
As for barley, no disrespect intended, but how would St John Chrysostom have known this? And am I correct in understanding that the bread for Passover, or for the meal that preceded Passover and was the first Mass, had to have been wheat, not barley, not anything else?
Actually, you're not correct. Passover had at least 1 mundane agricultural aspect: It coïncided with the harvest of barley in the Holy Land. To maintain that coïncidence despite the disconnection of seasons from the lunar calendar used by the Hebrews, 2nd-Temple rules allowed a committee of 3 Temple officials to reschedule Passover based on local field observations. What kind of observations? Specifically, whether the barley in the fields at Jerusalem was close enough to harvest. What about wheat? In the ancient times of the Christ on Earth, it was what we might call the "upscale grain" for bread, and it didn't mature until later in the year. Its harvest coïncided with the Hebrew Pentecost, observed 50 days after Passover.[#]

Note #: St. Joseph (Textbook) Edition of the Holy Bible, O.T. p. 164 (Nm. 28:26) note "28,26" (a single note). Those 50 days are counted inclusively, as also done by the Romans, so it was exactly 7 weeks later by modern reckoning.
