MYSTERIOUS MINDS
Parents Coping With Kids With Autism Have More Questions Than Answers

"I think the hardest thing is feeling like I have no idea how to really reach her or communicate with her. As parents you have dreams, and you're not sure how things are going to be in the future for her.. . .The hard thing is, I have nothing to compare (Emma's life) to."

SABRA MURPHY | Emma's mother

Emma Murphy is a walking statement of affection on a recent afternoon, wearing a bright pink T-shirt that reads, "I Love Mommy." But the golden-haired girl, who will turn 4 this month, never speaks those words herself.

Emma, a pretty girl with vast blue eyes, grips a pencil in her little fist as she wanders the house where a friend of her mother's lives. Instead of using the pencil to draw, as some children her age would, Emma drums it repeatedly against her own chest.

Her left hand bears a stamp she received at her pre-school, an image of a smiling dinosaur beside the words, "Speech is fun."

The irony is that Emma, diagnosed with autism two years ago, essentially has no speech. She pays little attention either to the three other children at the house or to her mother, seated on the front porch.

"I think the hardest thing is feeling like I have no idea how to really reach her or communicate with her," says Sabra Murphy, Emma's mother. "As parents you have dreams, and you're not sure how things are going to be in the future for her. . . . The hard thing is, I have nothing to compare (Emma's life) to."

Autism, a complex and poorly understood neurological disability, impairs the ability to communicate and engage with others. The disorder typically becomes apparent during the first three years of life.

As a "spectrum disorder," autism has a wide range of symptoms and severity, but common characteristics include resistance to change, repetitive behavior, unexplained emotional displays, limited eye contact and a lack of facial expression.

A generation ago, autism was considered rare. Today, the Centers for Disease Control estimates the disorder affects as many as one in every 166 children born in America. In Florida, diagnosed cases of autism increased from 582 in the 1992-1993 school year to 5,915 in 2003-2004, according to the U.S. Department of Education.

Very interesting! I saved this article for future investigation of Autism kids.

Parent have ways of pointing autism in children from vaccines. When It does not cause from any vaccines. You can read more about autism in children at http://vaccineprotection.com/consumer/safety.cfm

Experts who monitor the use of vaccines agree that today’s vaccine supply in the United States (US) is the safest and most effective in history. All vaccines undergo years of testing before they are approved for use. Once they become available, vaccines are continually checked for safety and effectiveness.

Like any medication, no vaccine is 100% safe; however, most people experience no side effects after vaccination. If side effects do occur, they are usually mild

I have also asked my boys doctor about that issue too and their doctor says that autism cause from after birth up to age of 3 or after the age of 3. It has nothing to do with the vaccines that they took, but Parent always want to find blame into something. :roll: Doctor have said that skipping the shots aren't the answer for any child. Some children have died from not taking their routine vaccines up to date or stopped all together.

Cheri - Most doctors (90%) always say that vaccinations do not cause austim. I had one, and it does not affect me which mean that I am lucky. I met a few parents who never allow their children to have vaccines. Their kids are grown up and very healthy.

Parents with their autism children met other parents who have austism children. For years, they narrowed and discovered that some vaccines do affect some children.

Doctors and lab scientists are not equal. A doctor's job is to take care of people. A scientist is to research on some chemcial experiement. The scientist have the most resource or information than the doctor has.

I assume that the doctors do not have time or they are probably afraid that they would be sued so they had to shut their mouth and do their job. (My retired dentist told me about it.)

Did you know that vaccines contain small amount of mercury? In fact, all nurses do NOT know that because they CANNOT understand the lab ingredients because the statement is very complicated.

You found some information about autism that vaccines do not cause... on the internet. That's because it's doctor's job to put information on the internet to make sure that you believe the doctor's long story.

Here are two perfect examples - (1) it's law that banned all mercury temperature on the market. (2) Many new dentists are being to understand and start use plastic fillings instead of allargm (mercury).

Another example, at school lab, a young student accidently dropped a small glass tube of mercury on the floor. All students must immediately evaculated the building and wait for some firetrucks to take care of the problem. Why the tube is so small? - Isn't that big deal? I did not change the subject. It has to do with vaccines. I have an idea - Can you ask your doctor to give you the vaccine ingredients paper? You may be surprised that he/she will not allowed to give the paper to you.

Can you ask your doctor to give you the vaccine ingredients paper? You may be surprised that he/she will not allowed to give the paper to you.

In Fact I don't need to ask my boy's doctor for vaccine ingredients because she gives it to me without even asking for it, everytime my boys go in for their vaccines due. And the listing was very minor and she also told me if I had any problems with my boys shown any side effects after their vaccine to call her. My boys had no problem with any side effects after their vaccine expect fever/swellings of course which is very common.

I have not seen one evidence that point out that vaccine has cause autism from vaccines, If you do not believe me feel free to call their hotline or check on line for information I listed below.

National Immunization Program at www.cdc.gov/nip or call their Hotline at 1-800-232-2522(English),

There is a health conference in Pennsylvania that you might be interested to attend there. http://www.panla.org/ I assume that you do not live in PA.

It's in Chambersurg, PA (Wilson College) on August 5-7th. It will be about excitotoxins (aspartame and MSG); vaccine, fluoride and mercury toxicity. I am not exact sure if the conference is free. I haven't sign up yet, and live in New England. I will have to ask someone about getting an interpreter.

Another subject, you might want to read a book - "Natural Cures 'They' Don't Want You To Know About." http://www.naturalcures.com . You could order it from your library.

I am just wondering if one of your sons has a serious side effect, does his doctor know what to do next? (I am sorry if this sound insult you, but I care about children's health safety. That's all.) Another question, should we trust CDC?

Correct, I don't live in Pa, It shouldn't corner me should it? Why should I worried if my sons would receive any side effects? If it never happened yet, I wouldn't like to think negative other than being positive that it would go smooth. I don't think stopping the vaccine would be any help at all. I believe my boys needed it to be safe, than sorry I don't like to see them ending up dead from some bacteria. And should we trust CDC? Is there any way we shouldn't? Not that I am aware of, and I will be more than glad to check on the book you mention. Thanks

Correct, vaccines has nothing do with autism but birth.

The most important thing to remember is that the benefits of immunization are much greater than any possible risks. Vaccines protect us from many serious diseases. Thanks to vaccines, most people in the US have never seen a case of polio, measles, or diphtheria. But before vaccines were available, these and other diseases caused widespread illness, complications, and death.

I'm surprised about that because the doctors MUST do that to our children because of protect against any risks, etc. My children would not accept in Kindergarten or school if they don't have vaccines. Health Department wrote a letter to us demand children's vaccines pass to control before my children goes their first kindergarten and school.

Without vaccines is IMPOSSIBLE because the air in the world are not clean.

Now, you understand it - the birth. So, some babies were affected by receiving bad vaccines.

Remember, I met a few parents that never allow their kids (babies) to get vaccinaction. At first, I was surprised to hear that. So, their kids are doing very well especially they are very healthy. They are grown tall. I was pleasant to hear their opinion about the shots. That's all I know. It's interesting because we must think that it is important for us to get some vaccine shots or flu shots. Look, that kids are survived since then. For me, it is impossible, but we need to learn from them. That's all. It's your choice whether to get the vaccination shots. 50/50 chance good or worst.

I'm glad that your kids are fine because they got lucky. Perhaps, their vaccine contain very very small amount of mercury that may be "wore out" which not affect their health. In a general, mercury usually never get out of the body. It just float around the cells, and it very slowly kills the cells in a long term. It is too complex for me to understand because I have heard it from many speakers at several health conferences. I wish that I could explain it to you clearly.

My opinion is that some vaccines are not perfect, and our medicial technologies may not be perfect. Someday, it would announce a new medicine and even better than vaccination shots. I do not care what the news tell you. If you listen the news, that's your problem - not mine period. I don't want to force you to make a decision. So, just be happy in your life.

I may think that that has nothing to do with vaccines from dirty air. Maybe, you could be right. Unfortuantely, there are some mercury in the air from electric power plants. The law requires all factories to set up air filters (30 percents). It should requires 80 or 100 percent pure clean air. Bush said 30 percent air filter... I cannot imagine what he was thinking about. I would rather to have coal electric power plants with good air filters than Nuclear Power Plants. We have too many nuclear waste barrels that buried underground in our country without a notice. A few years ago, the news said that the largest radioactive waste barrels in the world is in NV. Sorry this is off subject.
