Autism 'extreme male brain' clue
posted by Matt on 11:03 PM November 3rd, 2005
Men's Health This from the BBC... excerpt:

The brain structure of people with autism is an "exaggeration" of the normal male brain, researchers suggest.
It has long been suggested that autistic behaviour is an exaggeration of male habits such as making lists.
But Cambridge Autism Research Centre researchers say the actual development of the autistic brain also exaggerates what happens in male brains.

I always thought making lists was more of a female trait.

Only when the list is of things they want us to do for them. That generally gets them interested in writing things down.

It has also increased in prevalence some 2500%+, and its increases directly correlate with the increase in number of vaccines given in early childhood. Prime suspect: Mercury. Despite a claim by some congressmen that the mercury was removed from vaccines, this statement is false. What actually happened was the allowable limit was *raised*, but some manufacturers made versions of the vaccine without mercury alongside versions with. To get versions without, you have to special order them. Your doctor will not have them on hand. They also cost several times more than the ones with ethyl mercury as a preservative. Pretty much all of the flu shots contain it (Thimerosol). The only exception to this is the flu-mist inhaler, but that isn't a good choice since it is a live virus, and you actually become a vector for spreading the flu to others if you use it. Flu-shot is a poor bet anyway, of the last 5 years, they have failed to produce a shot which protected anyone from the actual flu that hit. (Well, outside of the people who caught the flu from those given the flu-mist shot. Creative marketing? You betcha.)

We have reached a sad point in time where we are giving infants Hep B vaccine. Why? Because of adult sexual activity. There isn't even any evidence it will protect them into adulthood, and no evidence of safety. It doesn't matter for vaccine makers if they are safe or effective though, vaccine makers are 100% shielded from liability in the US. They have a pooled fund, which you pay for, that the US government administers. You can not sue the vaccine makers, instead you have to file a claim against the pooled fund.

Male trait, female trait..blah blah blah. Its a trait of what happens to the nervous system when you repeatedly inject poisons into it, and they know it but try hard to bury that fact. They have even gone as far as to make the absurd claim that "Mercury is good for you". This is one of the most toxic substances known to man, and the combined level of mercury just from vaccines alone keeps rising. Not to mention fillings (which do leech, though probably more dangerous to your dentist than you, at least if you only have one). Mercury from fish. Total exposure keeps climbing, and so do the rates of autism in children, dementia and other brain wasting diseases in the elderly, and autoimmune diseases.

There is presently no incentive for vaccine makers to make a better product. The only way this changes is through legislation.

autism is not caused by vaccine contamination

the vaccine/autism theory is a red herring propagagted mostly by mothers of autistic kids who are desperate to find a "reason" and a "cure" for something they don't understand and can't deal with

it's a way of shedding personal responsibility (and effort!) for caretaking an autistic person (which, granted, is VERY challenging), and instead shifting the onus onto a System-Boogeyman and a medical procedure

what a complete waste of time, money, and human energy -- the major beneficiaries are the research, drug, and medical industries

the other major beneficiary is feminism, because 4 out of 5 autistics are MALE, and the less real-life support that these boys and men get, the stronger grows the matriarchy

over the past half-dozen years i've written at great length about the very deep and very old connections amongst autism, egoic consciousness, "extremism" in male behavior and potential, and the various "men's movements" in both history and prehistory led by autistic men/groups

i'm tired of talking to the wall, so i won't burden this board, or any other element of the, ahem, "movement," with my findings

v briefly -- autism is not a disease, it's not "pathological," and it arises from necessities far older and more complex than contaminated vaccines -- a superficial cop-out for those unwilling or unable to investigate its real origins and nature

autistic men are the leaders of the modern men's movement, as they were the leaders of all "men's movements" in the past, no matter whether those movements were primarily secular or spiritual

Simon Baron-Cohen's research should be supported to the max by the modern men's movement, because he's one of the few autism "researchers" sharp enough to understand that autism is primarily an expression of "wide spectrum" or so-called "extreme" MALENESS, and he is honest enough to refute the modern drool that autism is a "disease" that must be "wiped out"

the intent of the matriarchy is to hinder and crush masculinity in all its expressions and forms, and there's no better way to accomplish that than to pathologize and genetically "marker-out" the extraordinary "maleness" of autistic boys and men -- who represent not only the past, but the future of men

rather than waste time trying to convince senators that american males should be Co-Victims with females (something we will never accomplish), we should be encouraging the work of Baron-Cohen and the few others like him, and likewise loudly and persistently discouraging an refuting the voice of the Mob, who assure us from ignorance that autism originates in syringes, is equivalent to polio, and must be annihilated from the planet
