Autism

Autism Autism Autism is a neurological disorder that affects functioning, particularly in communication and social skills. Bodily impairments, abnormal movements, and sensory dysfunctions characterize autism. Although no known cure for autism exists today, doctors and scientists are exploring ways to help eliminate the causes. Researchers all over the world are linking autism to abnormal genetics, unreliable vaccines, mercury poisoning, and many other causes. Many researchers, doctors, and scientists conclude that autism is most likely a combination of many genetic and environmental factors. The number of cases of autism syndromes has risen over 900% in the past decade, and the condition now affects one in every 500 children. The following are some of the newest theories/causes of autism: § Mercury poisoning, when detected, is often initially diagnosed as a psychiatric disorder with symptoms such as poor eye contact, irrational fears, aggressive behavior, temper tantrums, irritability, and mood changes. Exposure to mercury can cause immune, sensory, neurological, motor, and behavioral problems similar to traits associated with autism and similarities that extend to neuroanatomy and biochemistry. Many cases of idiopathic autism may be induced by early mercury exposure from thimerosal, a preservative added to many vaccines.
