Interesting fact... Susan Somers wrote a book on how she CURED autism in her child.

TOX-SICK to NOT sick. She was bullied by Hellywood for it & her career tanked.

Great Article!

Excellent article. I say that it is obvious that vaccines which contain neuro-toxic substances will cause neurological damage/disease. They will naturally affect child development so what is labelled autism is understandable.

Of course the labeling is part of the industrial medical complex's scam as people with neurological damage have a group to identify with.

This is a great article, thank you. But I'd like to add that there is a social value in some of the ideas of the neurodiversity movement. If you read Temple Grandin's book, she explains very clearly why her autism makes her better at industrial design than her non-autistic colleagues. It is not just correlation with intelligence; high-functioning autistic people are actually better at certain kinds of intellectual work because of how their brains work. She never claims that being autistic causes her no difficulties in her life.

The reason I say the idea has social importance is because autism is now extremely common. We live in a world full of autistic people. If we can learn how to understand their differences better, and even respect certain benefits that come with these differences, and move completely away from the idea of stigmatizing or pitying people with autism, it will be better for everyone. This doesn't cancel the idea that we should stop injecting kids with toxins and we should try to prevent autism; this is obviously also true.

I disagree. I think every single aspect of autism is negative. I experience a lot of frustration because I can't use my intellect as much as possible because I have sensory issues with concentration. But with high functioning autists intellect is generally the only skill we have due to social incompetence. If there is any difference in thinking because of normal people and us, I don't believe it's because there is any positive aspects to brain damage. It is because higher intellect = more likely to experience vax injury and probably also because autists have nothing else we put all our resources into the one thing we do have, which makes it extra developed making a wider gap between us and normal people who develop in a more balanced way.

I find neurodiversity contradicts itself. Autism is a disability when they want benefits from government or accommodations, but the rest of the time it's ~just a difference~. I find this actually undermines the case for helping people with autism since brain difference doesn't require accommodation, only disability does.

I don't believe neurodiversity deserves any respect. I will go into it more when in part 3, but neurodiversity completely ignores severe autism & makes it all about the savant (even though they allegedly reject the Savant trope). Non verbal etc who require 24/7 care - calling them neurodiverse is massively offensive frankly but that lot do it anyway.

Thanks for explaining your point of view in such detail. Since you have personal experience of this which I do not, I learned a lot from what you say here, so thanks for opening my eyes to this more.

In Grandin's book, she says that her advantage as a designer is that she thinks in pictures, not in words. She has to translate pictures into words in order to express herself verbally. (She's an excellent writer.) I can certainly see that, if I were an industrial designer like she is, and if I thought only in pictures, without having the distraction of verbal equivalents, I would be able to find solutions to design problems much, much faster than people who think in words are able to do. My own work involves some visual design, and whenever I need to do this, I have to work tremendously hard to make myself think visually and turn off the overly verbal part of my mind. For her, it's much easier.

You are absolutely correct that she is an outlier and a rare exception, and so she offers no example for the question of autistic people in society in general. To her credit, she never uses any of the arguments or rhetoric of the neurodiversity ideology in the book, she simply describes her own experience, which includes feeling frustrated that non-autistic people in her field take such a long time to understand solutions to problems, because they don't think in pictures.

I'm looking forward to part 3, and I you have really made me change my mind about this.

I don't think that's autism at all (thinking in pictures). I have basically no visual thinking and find it extremely difficult to, say, visualise characters from novels.

That's very interesting, thank you. This may be an example of the idea that a wide spectrum of different neurological disabilities are all being lumped together under the label ASD.

Cassandra, Take a peak at this

https://www.civilianintelligencenetwork.ca/2023/06/13/aryan-mafia-of-ccr5-supremacists-made-up-of-ashkenazi-jews/

This caught my eye:

CCR5 gene is the door to your immune system. Cancer requires CCR5. COVID requires CCR5. HIV requires CCR5, … Those with a “mutation” don’t catch certain Cancers, COVID or HIV, … Odd that the Ashkenazi Jews have the highest rate of the CCR5 mutation. Up to 10% of Europeans have this mutation. Highest rate in the Ashkenazi population.

IF they can do this with Cancer...I'm sure they covered their assess with autism!

Retrospective study of VAERS for CDC recommended infant vaccines (less than 24 months) yields autism adverse events that is consistent with yearly autism population rate. Genetics likely identifies infants with the higher risk levels related to immune responses to the vaccine.
