Doctors want to redefine autism; parents worried

By LINDSEY TANNER | Associated Press – Thu, Apr 5, 2012

CHICAGO (AP) — One child doesn't talk, rocks rhythmically back and forth and stares at clothes spinning in the dryer. Another has no trouble talking but is obsessed with trains, methodically naming every station in his state.

Autistic kids like these hate change, but a big one is looming.

For the first time in nearly two decades, experts want to rewrite the definition of autism. Some parents fear that if the definition is narrowed, their children may lose out on special therapies.

For years, different autism-related labels have been used, the best known being Asperger's disorder. The doctors working on the new definition want to eliminate separate terms like that one and lump them all into an "autism spectrum disorder" category.

Some specialists contend the proposal will exclude as many as 40 percent of kids now considered autistic. Parents of mildly affected children worry their kids will be left out and lose access to academic and behavioral services — and any chance of a normal life.

Got to do something about the huge increases, I guess. People are starting to think about it.

Dumb ass American / British Doctors.

I've got this really strange idea.  Why don't we ADMIT what CAUSES AUTISM and start reducing these numbers and use that knowledge to help the rest out.

Oh yeah, doctors wouldn't like that idea.

RETRIBUTION!

Autism Redefinition Scam And The Denial Shell Game

As Autism (or chemical & heavy metal poisoning) exploded when vaccine schedules increased in the nineties the medical industrial complex went into panic mode and expanded the definition of Autism into a ‘spectrum of disorders’. Other names like Asperger’s was thrown into the definition to muddy the water leading the Autism epidemic trail BACK TO VACCINES.

Then the medical industrial complex cooked up the the genetics ‘theory’ that stated the Autism epidemic explosion was due to genetics. They even infiltrated Autism organizations, filling the heads of people stupid enough to believe the idea that autism was “evolution” and that we should NOT stop or interfere with it. At least there is still enough people in the science community that couldn’t be bought off to push the genetic autism theory but, instead, shot it down in flames as being the scientifically absurd fraud it was.

Autism: The Epidemic The Medical Establishment ‘DARE NOT CALL AN EPIDEMIC’
It seems that the original wiseacring by the medical establishment to reclassify autism has come back to bite them in the ass. Now, it’s been reported by the same medical establishment that, being autistic has soured 56% in just five years!!! That is an epidemic beyond anything scene in America at the height of the American polio epidemic. However, the medical industrial complex REFUSES TO CALL THE AUTISM EPIDEMIC AN EPIDEMIC!!! Why is that? Simple, because by classifying autism as being an epidemic the medical establishment WILL BE FORCED TO ADMIT IT’S NOT JUST SOME ‘PSYCHOLOGICAL PHENOMENON’. THEY WILL ALSO BE FORCED TO ADMIT THAT AUTISM IS A ‘PHYSICAL’ NEUROLOGICAL DISORDER. BY THESE ADMISSIONS THEY WILL ALSO BE FORCED TO FIND THE CAUSE OF THE AUTISM EPIDEMIC. This is what the medical establishment can NOT afford because the house of cards POISONOUS vaccines are built on will crumble AND THEY KNOW THAT.

The pharmacological industrial complex has to drive the number of autism cases down to NON epidemic proportions if, this absurd game of vaccination and autism is to continue. I think Pandora / the genie has already left their box’s and bottles.

How about this idea.
That we the people, make doctors who are hell bent on giving out vaccines like halloween candy, personally responsible when that vaccine causes the laundry list of health issues covered ad nauseum at this blog. If they do NOT wish to be held responsible WE NEED TO FIND OUT WHY.

This Autism redefinition IS JUST ANOTHER ONE OF THEIR SCAMS!!! BUYER BEWARE!!

I work with kids with Autism. What I find is that the criteria for Asperger's disorder are very broad and could be applied to someone who is just shy or not very social. The problem is that for people to get mental health services they need a medical diagnosis. So the Psychologists who diagnosis children in need of mental health services will tend to make the person fit into one category or another in order to get them help. I think now they are rethinking the criteria in order to make sure that only kids who are actually suffering from a disorder are the one's who get services instead of anyone who walks into the psychologists's office. It's about saving money but also about making sure that services are going to those who are truly in need of them. That's just my opinion from the inside.

I think your giving the establishment far too much credit.  I don't think the medical establishment (at the top) care about giving anyone anything but more bad medicine.

Autism WAS, in the beginning, very specific in diagnosis.  As chemical and heavy metal poisoning started to rear it's ugly head due to all that crud in vaccines, those caring loving establishment types broaden the autism definition to defuse or muddy the water of those who where TRULY autistic with the flood of children who were chemically lobotomized. 

Well that idea backfired on them when it created an obvious 'epidemic'.  They don't EVER want autism to be considered a 'epidemic' because they will be FORCED by the public to find the CAUSE.

We all know what the cause of this epidemic is about and so do they.

Autism is brain damage and birth defects from toxic overload. They are starting to note that older parents who have had more time to build up toxins and overweight parents who are bloating up from fluoride toxins etc. are more prone to have autistic children.

At the least the doctors should be required to obtain a permission slip classifying individual children as experimental animals rather than automatically loading them up with toxic cancerous brain damaging drugs and requiring a religious waiver
