    They probably put it in the vaccines as it's an active ingredient?

    my girlfriend has autism, followed with a bunch of other disorders (OCD, ADD, ADHD) she takes many pills when she wakes up, and sleeping pills to get to sleep. plus with her OCD she tends to pluck out her eyebrows for some unknown reason, but she draws them in later. shes a nice girl though. but she cant keep straight eye contact for more than a few seconds, because her eyes start wandering off somewhere else. i guess before i knew her she was barely able to communicate and she'd stare at the floor a lot, but now shes better at looking at the persons face and talking. nice girl though, she just hates her family. she went goth after a while and right now shes very friendly to almost everyone. Her autism has affected her in the past but shes overcoming it pretty well.

    I'm a counselor at a camp for disabled kids and stuff. Lots of autistic kids. Most are pretty smart and can sometimes talk. They get frustrated with everything however. I can imagine. If you know you could do something but you're being limited. Must be tough.

    Yeah, doctors say I have some effects of 6 disorders (ADHD, ADD, Bipolar, mild autism, and some other ones). I've managed to overcome almost all of them except Autism.

    That's a positive way of looking at it.

    I did a little digging and found that they've found an actual genetic cause for Autism and Aspergers' Syndrome. It seems that it's one specific chromosome that decides to misbehave which causes Spectrum disorders.

    From what I understand, this region of the chromosome is swapped with another in Aspergers' and completely missing in those with full-on Autism.
