> I lived next door to a l0year old autistic boy. He had temper tantrums and was out of touch with reality. Looked in the air as if something were there hated the feeling of clothes on him but his Mom said innoculations the mercury caused it. So I doubt she'll ever give him meds. Too bad Spriggy doesn't post any more her son is autistic too. Love Phillipa
There will always be the people who believe the fluoride in the water and that thiomersal causes everything from cancer to autism. And the people who never innoculate their children. I mean for ** sakes, there still is polio in the US, from people who won't vaccinate their children. And similar childhood diseases.I know people are desperate about their autistic children, if they're lucky they "just" have aspergers, but people search for the most ludicrous causes. Its a serious condition that deserves scientific investigation -- but real investigation, with double blind studies and scientific methods.
Some studies show that risks of TD with atypicals are lower in children -- some show higher. Its still unclear.
