Now Reading: Autism Research: The Difference Between “a Link To” VS. “the Cause Of”
So many people assume that I am anti-research and/or against all these studies.
Autism Is Like A Cough….
What I mean by that is, there’s probably 20 things that make you cough (cold, flu, pneumonia, bronchitis, etc). And each of those 20 things have a different treatment, a different way to make that cough disappear.
In the same vein I think there may be 20+ things that bring on autism, or autistic symptoms or whatever you want to call it. And there may be 20 different ways of treating that autism.
var _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push([‘_setAccount’, ‘UA-25522671-1’]);

ga.src = (‘https:’ == document.location.protocol ? ‘https://ssl’ : ‘http://www’) + ‘.google-analytics.com/ga.js’;
var s = document.getElementsByTagName(‘script’)[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);

If you’re gonna shop Amazon anyway, can I ask that you enter Amazon by using the search box above? This way I can make a little money. This blogging thing has been awesome & life changing for me… but I must admit that it’s taking up a lot more time than I ever thought… so if I can make a few bucks it’ll make it easier for me to justify….Love you all! Thanks!!

While correlation is not causation, I do think the research on circumcision and autism is significant. In recent decades those who circumcise often but not always provide the baby with Acetaminophen (Tylenol) to reduce pain. Other studies have found Acetaminophen use is much more common in babies who later develop autism (see: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18445737) and other studies have found countries that have greater acetaminophen use have higher rates of autism. See (http://www.ehjournal.net/content/12/1/41).
In addition as autism frequently features sulfation and methylation deficits and acetaminophen requires suflation and methylation for minimally disruptive metabolism, I think it makes sense that acetaminophen use could be particularly problematic in those with a vulnerability to autism. Of course this doesn't mean that all or even most cases of autism are do to acetaminophen use. It suggests to me at least that it is a real risk factor and the widespread use of acetaminophen in infants and children should be stopped.
Some folks view my post as spam but I feel I have a duty to share what I know if it can help anyone just a little. There is dietary help and Dr. Gerald Edwards explains how he has helped his son.

Some of these studies are useful, like the sulforaphane study at Johns Hopkins. The problem is that it will takes a few decades before this reaches your doctor. If you spend some time reading about it, you can take advantage now. No DAN doctor needed. No safety risks. No big expense, just some time.
Thanks for a very refreshing post. Every time these questions come up at our house, my husband reminds me that it is pointless to assign blame to ourselves. We do our utmost every day to be the best parents possible to our little one and help him achieve his highest potential. Looking over our shoulder at the past is not productive for our family. Thanks for the reminder that every study published doesn't change the universe. LOL
Lol I felt like I fell into every "link" that they have come around with. Having a son and nephew that fall into the severe "category" of ASD, we definitely have not been without a plethora of reasons as to what may have caused this. It's been our life for 15 years and in 6 years we will experience the big transition. The yellow bus has come to our door every school day since E's 3rd birthday. I try to think what life might be like at whatever point we move to him to a residential group home. It brings tears to my eyes just to think about it. Anyway, well written article once again. Thank you you for sharing you life experiences with the king.
