Professor studying autism rates

Needs more data in North Alabama for his analysis
For years, some have suspected that autism is more common in the Huntsville area than in other parts of the country.
But a University of Alabama at Birmingham professor who has been studying autism rates since 2002 has not found any evidence so far to support that theory. Dr. Russell Kirby said his research, funded by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, suggests an autism rate for the 32-county North Alabama region of about 3.5 cases per 1,000 children.
That's less than the national average of six to seven cases per 1,000 children.

I always heard that Silicon Valley in California had the highest Autism rates in the country...so many children of Engineering "fathers" appear to have Autism and Asperger's Syndrome. My dad is an Electrical Engineer and worked for Hewlett Packard, Company until he took early retirement.
People are always coming up with "theories" as to the cause of Autism...but nothing conclusive has been found. MMR vaccines have
definitely been ruled out as a cause of Autism as the Mercury has been removed from these vaccines ...and Autism rates have not
slowed down.

No, it hasn't been removed from them.
Bush vetoed its removal earlier this year, and it was never removed in the first place. They also had to use up old stocks that still contained it before any of the talk of its removal even happened.
It's not just the mercury that's the problem with them either, it's the other ingredients (embalming fluid, aluminium, aborted fetal cells, anti-freeze etc).
Sorry to go off on one, it's just something that really irritates me. I don't necessarily believe MMR does cause autism (possibly vaccines do trigger some in some kids, but definitely not the majority), but I do believe those things are toxic and nasty and shouldn't be given to kids at all.
/rant... back to subject!!
Isn't the silicone valley thing just because it's an industry that seems to attract those with aspie/autistic traits? i.e. obsessions, higher intelligence, doesn't require a lot of social interaction, etc etc?
Embalming fluid? Aborted fetal cells?? Anitfreeze???? What kind of cut-rate third-world juke joint do you buy your vaccines at, anyways?
Denmark did remove all thimerosal stabilizers from vaccines quite a number of years ago. Their autism rates continued to increase on the same slope as everyone else's. (Besides, the whole idea was based on observation of 13 children, who began exhibiting symptoms of autism shortly after receiving MMR vaccines - which are usually given around the second birthday. Oddly enough, even if all vaccines are withheld, infantile autism tends to appear around the age of two...)
Recent investigations have shown that several autistics studied had an excess of grey matter in the parietal lobes of their brains - in the same areas that ordinarily regulate sensitivity to sensory input. Links appear to be on chromosomes 2 and 11.

Those are the standard ingredients. Also known as formeldehyde (that's the embalming fluid), ethylene or propylene glycol (that's the anti-freeze, incidentally also found in the majority of skincare products - hence why I only buy organic and entirely natural stuff!!), and erm... well, aborted fetal cells don't really have any other name do they?! The majority of vaccines are cultured on them, which of course poses some pretty major ethical/moral issues, besides what exactly that'll do to you when you inject it into your arm, thus bypassing your key natural defences (ie digestive system)... If they're not using them then they're using animal tissues, and often chicken embryo (egg), which has been linked to the rising number of people allergic to eggs. Aluminium is used in a majority too, which is well-documented as having major, major effects on the body, especially in terms of neurology and brain/nervous system disorders, same as mercury (thimerosal).
This is a good table listing which ones contain aborted fetal cells, last updated in August.

Again, I'm not saying all autism is caused by vaccines. What I am saying is that I firmly believe SOME could be caused by vaccines - perhaps in these cases it isn't even *true* autism, but vaccine damage that presents with the group of symptoms? - as the number of parents reporting their children changing within minutes or hours of a vaccine is simply too high to be a coincidence. Besides that, I don't see how there can be any benefit in injecting that kind of gunk into the arm of a small child repeatedly while they're so small they don't even have a fully developed immune system to protect them can possibly do any tiny amount of good. You're not even giving what immunity they have a chance to work, as you're pumping it into their muscles and tissues, instead of letting them ingest it and giving their natural digestive defences a chance to do their thing and rid them of the poison via vomiting/pooping. They'll say "Yes, that's why we inject it", but that's failed logic. The body knows what's good and what's not, so to trick it that way cannot be doing any good whatsoever.
Again, I don't believe all autism is caused by vaccines. I simply believe that some people are damaged by vaccines, resulting in either autism or autism-like symptoms, and that no vaccine containing any of the above ingredients - which is, incidentally, every vaccine - can be in any way beneficial to the human body.
We already have a perfectly good immune system, with readily available immune boosters surrounding us in nature. Mother nature will always provide us with what we need to survive; synthetic, refined, crappy drugs that line the pockets of Big Pharma do not. Why would they want to help or heal us? A customer healed is a customer lost...
