My
Son Was Not Born Autistic
Recently I was going through some old pictures of my autistic son,
John. Back in those days we took allot of pictures, although it was a
few years before we got most of them developed. We moved around allot
in those days as well, as most military familys do. it's
been nearly 20 years since we've taken a hard look at his pictures from
his first 3 years.
I almost thought I was looking at pictures of John's youngest sister,
who is just 2 1/2 years old. While there is a remarkable resemblance,
John also behaved like a normal child. From the pictures, you can see
that John was a happy young child that liked books, toys, computers,
and just plain laughing and playing. You can see that John smiles and
focuses.
While I don't have a picture of it, John used to answer the phone when
we lived in Germany. I did shift work back then in the Army, and I
would come home and find the phone on the floor (off the hook). Within
months John would slip off into that "autistic" shell, and has been
there ever since. John is now 23 years old.
In a truly honest
sense I do not believe John is autistic. I believe he
was a poisoned by vaccines. I have his medical records where he
received the MMR at a routine checkup. It is documented that he said
10+ words, and did all the things 2 year old children should do. Within
a few months, we were meeting with a team of specialists that
determined he had Pervasive Developmental Disorder. To us simple folk,
that meant he was behind in his development, which doctors would later
categorize as autistic.
However, as you can see John was not behind in
his development. He
regressed from Mercury poisoning. If you think that premise is not
palatable, it was 1988 when this happened. It would take another 10
years before the idea of mercury poisoning would make it into the
public's thought process.
We could debate the
autism-mercury connection from now to the end of
the century. The fact is, no U.S. Government agency is going to admit,
on the record, of any proof of a connection. The government is going to
refute any reputable autism-mercury study, no matter the source. And
any autism-mercury study backed by the U.S. Government is suspect. Why?
These are the same agencies that threaten doctors and dentists with
pulling their medical license for treating, or suggesting to treat
mercury poisoning.
Whatever your opinion of the autism-mercury
connection, these pictures
are hard to refute. Something happened to my son between 24 and 30
months of age that caused him to regress into "autism". We didn't have
the knowledge of the possible environmental factors that may cause
autistic symptoms. No one knew what Gluten and Casein was. No one knew
about the risks of fish or mercury laden dental fillings.
But I do know that my son was
born normal, and for about 24 months
lived a happy and active life. It's in the pictures.
