Added to the confusion, autism and autoimmune encephalitis are similar... one being a medical diagnosis and one being behavioral. I’m the parent of two children, one with auditory processing disorder/adhd, and one with ASD who was profoundly affected, nonverbal until he was 8 and we were able to use functional medicine to improve his health, which resolved many of his “autistic” behaviors. You don’t magically gain cognition when you heal an infection. We have found that he was more able to express himself and take in information when his body healed, which affects how his brain functioned. I would like to see these two diagnostic labels be more integrated or more separated. I think it’s why they can say that vaccines don’t cause autism. Which other medical product causes a behavioral diagnosis?

Some adults who have autism are resentful at the implication that there is a cure, and those of us with children severely affected resent the implication that they can’t be helped with functional medicine bc we should respect that they have autism and not try and “fix” them.

Regardless, the adverse medical impact on our children needs to be brought to light. One new prediction I read is that 1:2 people will be diagnosed with “autism” however you define that, by 2035. I’ll tell you right now, between insurance, Medicare and out of pocket expense we are over $1M of care on our boys, easily. Big pHARMa will impair the next generation of adults by a lot.

Thank you for hearing me out on this.

Thank you for these insights.

1mio? That's insane. I suppose you're living in the USA then. Over what timeframe?

I'll be honest here: I know next to nothing about autoimmune encephalitis, but it seems neuroinflammation has generally been overlooked as a factor influencing cognition and behavior. Have you observed how diagnostic criteria changed between ICD versions?

I strongly doubt the 1:2 prediction. These extrapolations rarely end up being confirmed. One reason would be behavioral changes over a certain threshold due to rising awareness.

We have paid considerable more $$ for one son over the other in the past decade. We are in the US. The issue is that no one in main stream medicine had any answers for us, so we went to functional medicine, which is not covered under traditional insurance.

Awareness does not account for the increase in numbers, as the most recent numbers out of Children’s Health Defense outline 1:10 with autism in brown and black children in urban areas with multiple toxicities in their environments, and many pediatricians do not even understand what a vaccine reaction is, so these kids are likely fully vaccinated in a generally polluted environment.

The time frame is about a decade of full time functional medicine protocols, even now, it’s my full time job. Our youngest was in full time behavioral therapy from the time he was 4 until he was 10, between 32 - 45 hours a week. We saw some progress, but better functionality for him came when we focused on his body’s individual needs vs behavioral interventions. We ended up pulling him from public school bc they treated him like he was stupid, which he is not. Unconventionally brilliant is a better way to describe him, bc this kid doesn’t miss anything going on around him and he is 16 now.

To be successful, I read medical info every day and work out how it applies to him. I am fortunate to have found brilliant and brave doctors to with, and together we plan out how to approach healing his body. Every single time we clear an infection from his body or that infection goes into remission, he displays massive cognitive gains. For a kid who has only been speaking for 8 years, who I was told to institutionalize, he is doing wonderfully now. But it comes with a parent like me who can dedicate time, find the money, and execute the protocols to continue to improve his health and that of his brother. He has lesser medical needs, but he still needs functional medical support to heal and be functional. Repairing the damage done by the vaccines they had takes an enormous amount of time, and, it’s cutting edge. Most of what has worked has been discovered in the past 6 years or so.

Thank you for the work you’re doing ... thanks for hearing me out ...

Oh wow, he has only been speaking during the second half of his life? I can see how you are convinced autism is treatable now.

I forgot to answer the ICD code changing criteria. What I have noticed is that mostly gets all lumped into one group, only separated by severity now. The problem as I see it, severity is subjective. Someone who can communicate is seen as less severe than someone like my son who had multiple medical complications and was non verbal. This is not always the case. A verbal person can be much more restricted in some areas than say my son. While my son is more socially isolated than others, he’s a rockstar when it comes to physical movement. Sensory integration and motor planning can be huge overlooked issues for anyone with ASD. So I disagree with the “severity” separations. My son is considered severe, although he is far more functional than others in this category.

I also don’t agree with how they have broadened the categories, bc now anyone with severe anxiety can be diagnosed with autism as well, which is inaccurate and adds to the numbers of adults who are being diagnosed with autism.

Hope that helps ...

I was advised to take it down. If we spook GISAID now, I will reduce my chances of acquiring the remaining 10 million sequences to zero. They have already taken down epiflu and this might very well happen to epicov as well. I want nothing more than to make the data available, but it will have to wait.

Excellent, thank you very much Diane.

I have some other priorities for now, but once I get to dedicating my time to autism and the US education system data (which I will), I will keep this in mind.

Again, thank you.

I slept my way through embriology. This is literally the only thing save for neuroanatomy that bored me. :D

I was still under the assumption all blood cells were generated from bone marrow before reading this.

I passed this information on to a couple of people who are more involved with microbiology and COVID pathophysiology in particular. I'm mostly digging through data trying to understand what happened on the population level. But don't get me wrong, I appreciate any input.

Rockefeller denied OIL caused cancer, created ACS in 1913 American Cancer Society was created to misdirect cancer research

Big Tobacco denied that Smoking caused lung-cancer +80 years, it took that long for courts to do their fucking job

Big-Pharma has since 1920's been fucking people with oil-based pharma since Rockefeller took ownership of AMA&APA in 1920's

Kids have been getting Autism since vax begun and BIG-PHARMA owns the MSM, and 90% of all MSM budget for advertising on Earth

Ergo, it might take the SCOTUS 500 years to admit that oil-based Pharma is Autism

Good points. This actually motivates me to dig deeper. It's up to us to keep fighting in order to cause a shift in people's perception the way I see it.

I recently watched the documentary "Trust WHO?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJYUgN9BO2I , which contained a lot of information on how the lung cancer / smoking association was obfuscated. Warmly recommended, though you probably know all about this, judging by your post.

TRUST NOBODY

Learn to "self heal'" when young

Probably a good idea to go on a ten year sailing voyage around the around alone when young, learn how to take care of 100% of everything, then you will carry that attitude the rest of your life;

Problem is most adults are just children that expect the 'doctor' to be mommy and/or daddy, failing to understand that doctors only exist to economically fuck you, bankrupt you, and destroy your health; Funny lawyers exist for the same reason;

Me thinks 90% of the world says "Trust only your family", of course in ASIA family means something, in the West TV, and now internet is 'family'.

Well U note on asshole doctors, I tossed in lawyers, but recall that Tobacco couldn't play their game had the lawyers not obfuscated the law, and owned the judges who are just 'lucky lawyers'

I wonder if an update of government data would show a proportional increase in autism since other vaccines are added to the mix given now. Thanks for this analysis!

I already downloaded dozens of csv's (160 actually) from this horribly slow and unreliable datahub this morning before writing the article. Still need vaccination data and population counts. Will probably look into it, but didn't want to make promises since I often don't keep those, especially when I can't find anything worth writing about in the data.

Great work. I knew Gayle. We were working on a project together when the fates took her (she passed last year from cancer; no she was not injected). She was a remarkable person. I have been wanting to bring her study up to date for some time now. One problem with time series data is that they can share a common trend and appear to be correlated even when they're not. I have lots of ideas of how to improve the methodological design, but I haven't found the time to do it. But with a partner doing the data wrangling, that's a different story. Anyway, I'd be happy to try to work on this with you or at least share my thoughts. If that sounds good to you let me know and we'll find a way to connect.

I wasn't aware she passed and can't say I had been aware of her existence, but I'm glad I can promote her work this way. She must have experienced a lot of blowback for publishing this.

What you are saying makes sense. I suppose inaccurate population estimates could be responsible for that, right?

I am not sure what these estimates are based on. The census estimates I've looked at are just awful. I try to avoid them whenever I can.

I suppose student counts should be very reliable though since every student is registered along with his attendance.

For future analyses I vaguely thought it might be a good idea to look at the proportion of autism among all types of disabilities listed in the same dataset. Something like that. Probably not a perfect solution.

I'd be delighted to cooperate with you on this. I'm an absolute beginner when it comes to statistics.

This is great. I'd like to see something like this for various countries with various vaccine schedules. I'm not capable of this kind of analysis but took a peek awhile back and just noted that Qatar with the highest vaccine rate in their region has the highest autims rate. And France, who in 2018 there were articles bemoaning there vaccine uptake, had the lowest. But that was me cherry picking. It be nice to see real analysis like this done.

Governments are really stingy with the data.

If you have data, I will analyze it.

Otherwise this is a queued project I will most definitely get to, once I am done showing how the COVID vaccines caused epidemics and impacted SC2 evolution. Long way to go I'm afraid...

But I can squeeze in brief analyses whenever I acquire data. So feel free to email me(at)pervaers.com if you have anything you'd like me to look at.

Maybe those parents strictly following the vaccination schedule are also those most eager to have their child diagnosed the latest fashionable disease? Being no medical expert, autism looks to me like yesterday's trans - a serious but very rare condition, blown out of proportion by fashion.

Very good point.

Doesn't explain the differences in report proportions between the various childhood vaccines though, with MMR standing out.
