Subject: Ham-radio is a hobby not a service

In article , Mike Coslo writes: There is also a lot of bad science out there involving immunizations. For example, there are still folks trying to sell the idea that immunizations are somehow a cause of autism, even though repeated scientific studies have shown no causality. There *is* a sort of correlation in that the first definitive signs of autism are usually observed about the age of many common immunizations. The very success of immunizations has been a big part of the controversy sround their continued use. "After all, no one gets these diseases anymore, so why should we immunize for them?" TAFKA, Mike, my youngest son is autistic. He was immunizised. Can you tell me what caused it? Was it all the crap they pumped into me before I went to Somalia? Was it his own immunizations? Autism predates the widespread use of immunizations, Brian. It, like many other birth defects, are still non-specific in etiology. No one can take a test to determine if some combination of DNA or enviromental exposures will induce it. My daughter's birth defects were generally attributed to aerially deployed agricultural defoliants, but at the end of the day, the answer was a shrugh and a "Who knows...!??!" Agreed to what??? Should I teach him Morris Code so he can communicate with me? Many Autistic children show a predispostion to defered methods of communication, but I doubt Morse Code would be one of them. And of course the reason such diseases are almost gone is - universal immunization. My son is in a classroom of -all- autistic children in a small community of less than 20,000. Some current thinking on this is that it's not a necessarily wise thing to do. Behavioral modification is best thought to work when they are placed in "normal" enviroments. Unfortunately the realities of economics and minimal resources dictate otherwise. Lots and lots of stupid people. Like those demanding continued Morse Code exams. You equate inequities of your child's birth defects with Morse Code testing? Since you're a smart person, you have the answer. What caused my son's autism? Mother Nature sucks. What caused my daughter to be born with only 25% of her brain? All we can do is love them, care for them, and try our best to prepare them for when we're not here. If they think immunizations are bad, they should see how bad not immunization is. Yep. This is one reason why the study of history - real history - is so important. Someday someone will write the history of autism. The real history. What causes it. Let's hope it's real soon. All of our newsgroup bantering aside, Brian, I have a significant amount of experience in developmental disorders of children. I am at your service if I can help. Nothing gets in the way of a child. 73 Steve, K4YZ |
