Autism cause by a Virus that attack the brain.

Post Reply New Topic

I think autism is cause by Virus because autism was rare disorder a long time, now is more common. When I little, I always got earinfections. I believe that this might have cause my autism.

Tom, there's a much simpler explanation for the current rate of autism diagnoses -

Autism was not a diagnosis until 1980. Asperger's Syndrome was not a diagnosis until 1994.

I was born in 1963, and went undiagnosed until I was closing in on 40. My sister was born in 1965, and was diagnosed with Infantile Schizophrenia, because that was what autistic withdrawal was supposed to be a symptom of according to the DSM-II (published in 1967).

Since the diagnostic criteria were first established 31 years ago, and expanded 16 years ago, it's little surprise that the diagnosis is only spreading through the neuropsychiatric community (which prefers to diagnose disorders they can treat, and no wonder) today. It would be astonishing if the rate of diagnosis weren't climbing like a terrified rocket.

I have Asperger's and when I was a kid I used to have a really bad time with my ears too. When I was a teenager I had to get overnight surgery several times for a chronic ear infection. The doctors once said that for some reason my ear canals weren't developing normally. I don't know if Asperger's or autism is actually caused by a virus but I wonder often if there's a connection between it and unusual ear problems. Of course they're really not doing much if any research on it and there is some secret government conspiracy to scare everyone into not vaccinating their kids because they think it causes autism in order to reduce the population by starting a pandemic of diptheria or even smallpox...

No.

Autism IS NOT A DISEASE.

I'm not preaching if it's a fact.

AUTISM IS NOT A VIRUS.

What if in the future they find out that earinfections was causing autism.

what if in the future you read enough about biology and psychology to understand your question and answer?

I'm trying not to be rude, but this whole notion seems utterly outlandish.
Specifically because of my neuroscience knowledge.

"Perhaps NT is the 'virus' or being NT is from an ear infection that dulls all senses?" - made up

Why would someone like Daniel Tammet want his autism cured? or people that are very mild like myself.

I'm not sure how severe or in what area's you express the autism spectrum, so I apologize if I am out of place.

Autism is a very fundamental expression of the genome, that being said, there are billions of biological and psychological processes left un noticed and EPICALLY under researched.

We are who we are, due to genomics, environment and our brain.

These three things severely affect our domain of choice and our range of outcomes, like a personal timeline for our specific genome encodement that is constantly evolving, reacting and given new information series and sequences to choose upon, sub atomically and at quantum levels.

please add or change something I have missed in my summarized summary.

The above link is most likely amazing.

What if in the future they find out the fundamentalist Christians were right, and we're all victims of demonic possession?

Your question is meaningless in any terms except its own. It has no relation to any demonstrable external reality.

Speaking of christians,

I saw a blog about a group of christians who think autism is from sins and demons etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.

Reading people's opinions, I 100% had a mini seizure.

Maybe every single person is not NT and we all need some sort of healing, and helping.

Who is the perfect NT?

There's no empathy in utopia.

What if in the future you read enough about Causation and Correlation to understand the difference between the two?

What if you come to understand that mere belief is insufficient evidence for proof of claims?

What if you eventually learn to apply the Scientific Method correctly before reaching a conclusion?

Ear infections don't rewire brain cells. Think about it.

So you hate god?

How do you know you are right about autism being genetic. I just think is weird not being able to make eye contant with people. Do you have a social life and a job?

What are we, Computers? Just do a simple virus scan and send us on our way... NO. Not gonna happen.

Autism is with you since birth.

recearch has been done on DNA of autistics and NTs, heritage studies gave proof of the heriditary nature of autism; it is as close to proven as in possible withing science that autism is, at least for the most part, genetic.

also, not looking in the eye isn't that weird; humans are about the only lifeform on earth that sees eyecontact as socially acceptable, and not even all humans do; it's only western society...
besides, it is not that hard to learn how to fake eyecontact close enough to have a social life and a job, if you want to
