| The face of autism |
 |
Here's the story -- well, the first five
years -- in the life of Quinn: a wonderful,
exuberant, mostly non-verbal boy with autism.
You can see how the signs appeared over time,
even before his diagnosis was made at 21
months.

| In My Language |
 |
The first part is in my "native language,"
and then the second part provides a
translation, or at least an explanation.
This is not a look-at-the-autie gawking
freakshow as much as it is a statement about
what gets considered thought, intelligence,
personhood, language, and communication, and
what does not.

| Robert Kennedy on the Vaccine Autism Coverup |
 |
Robert Kennedy talks about the cover up
regarding vaccines and Autism.
In June 2000, a group of top government
scientists and health officials gathered for
a meeting at the isolated Simpsonwood
conference center in Norcross, Georgia.
Convened by the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention, the meeting was held at this
Methodist retreat center, nestled in wooded
farmland next to the Chattahoochee River, to
ensure complete secrecy. The agency had
issued no public announcement of the session
-- only private invitations to fifty-two
attendees. There were high-level officials
from the CDC and the Food and Drug
Administration, the top vaccine specialist
from the World Health Organization in Geneva
and representatives of every major vaccine
manufacturer, including GlaxoSmithKline,
Merck, Wyeth and Aventis Pasteur. All of the
scientific data under discussion, CDC
officials repeatedly reminded the
participants, was strictly "embargoed." There
would be no making photocopies of documents,
no taking papers with them when they left.
The federal officials and industry
representatives had assembled to discuss a
disturbing new study that raised alarming
questions about the safety of a host of
common childhood vaccines administered to
infants and young children. According to a
CDC epidemiologist named Tom Verstraeten, who
had analyzed the agency's massive database
containing the medical records of 100,000
children, a mercury-based preservative in the
vaccines -- thimerosal -- appeared to be
responsible for a dramatic increase in autism
and a host of other neurological disorders
among children. "I was actually stunned by
what I saw," Verstraeten told those assembled
at Simpsonwood, citing the staggering number
of earlier studies that indicate a link
between thimerosal and speech delays,
attention-deficit disorder, hyperactivity and
autism. Since 1991, when the CDC and the FDA
had recommended that three additional
vaccines laced with the preservative be given
to extremely young infants -- in one case,
within hours of birth -- the estimated number
of cases of autism had increased fifteenfold,
from one in every 2,500 children to one in
166 children.
THE GOVERNMENT AND VACCINE MANUFACTURES KNOW
VACCINES ARE CAUSING DAMAGE TO THOUSANDS.

(Check out my other video labeled "Autism:
Christian and Makena's battle" It's this
video updated and in more detail.) My son was
diagnosed with Autism at age 2 and my
daughter does not have Autism but she has
gastrointestinal issues. I made this video
to show that Autism can be helped. You'll
see the before and afters of both kids and
you'll see how much our non verbal aggressive
little guy has turned into a wonderful
healthy little boy with the help of the
specific carbohydrate diet, vitamins,
supplements, chelation therapy, ABA,
Occupational and Speech therapy. Our story is
