Re: Autism Awareness Month
The maddest my little brother ever got at me was when we were out on the boat one morning and I blew his cover in front of Dad and said I thought he was hung-over. Him and a boy from camp snuck and had a few beers. I thought he was going to throw me man-overboard.
He was :busted and I blew his cover. It was about time though someone else did something in the family that shouldn't have and got caught. I was sick of all the notoriaty.

Re: Autism Awareness Month
I have a question relating to Autism Awareness month. Is there a connection to Wolfram and Suzidfloosey being siblings and both having autistic children? I have wondered this since you both posted, because my knowledge in this area is limited. A friend of mine has a 19 year old nephew living with him who is autistic, he is an only child. There are several bothers and sisters in the family all but my friend have children and there are no additional children born into the family that are autistic. I was just curious as to if whose family follows the more common route of autistic trends. If that's not too personal of a question that you feel comfortable answering I am interested. If I have asked to personal of a question I am sorry. I hope I haven't though.
Each birthday for us in the family we do the standard birthday party and I also pick something to donate to on behalf of the birthday person, random and usually something happens that decides where to donation goes to shortly before the birthday, I always look for a sign prior to the big event. The boys keep their eyes out for a sign too. Alex's birthday is next, June 4th. Because I am so glad to have met you both Autism will be remembered in June. It's been a tradition that we do enjoy and one I hope they will continue with their families. I told Alex today I found his sign (I heard him upstairs showing the Orr video to his friends) I explained the meaning for the sign and he said yep, that's the sign, no need to look for others this time.

Re: Autism Awareness Month
There are so many "what-ifs" attched to ASD Lost it aint funny. If one or more could be proven then we might have a clue to what causes it, but alas nothing has been proven.
My own opinion, I think there's a link between the MMR vaccine and/or food preservatives & pollution. Can't be proven of course. Sister Suzi might be able to add more as not alone is she an IT engineer, she's a qualified Homeopath. :)

Re: Autism Awareness Month
I have read about the vaccine connection and have actually worried each time I have had the kids vaccinated. When the boys were little I just worried about it, not for a specific reason- I just worried.
If you were to have another child would you vaccinate? I know it is becoming very common with families my younger brother's age he is late 20's alot of his friends are having their children vaccinated.

Re: Autism Awareness Month
The previous connection between autism and vaccinations was related to the mercury that was present in some vaccines. This was removed in the 1990's and autism has continued to be diagnosed. remember however that the protection from contagious and deadly disease and the public health the vaccines afford our children is also extremely important. I have read recent studies which also links a fathers age with autism- possibly due to spermal mutations etc. The fact is that one of the reason autistic rates have grown over the past few years is because the autistic spectrum has been widened to accommodate many levels of severity as a means for obtaining help and covered care services for the kids. Thus, it is difficult to make a blanket assumption about causes. It remains a mysterious condition and no root cause has been proven as of yet.

That is also the case Red. I can't have anymore(been snipped) but Ciaran wasn't my first. I have a daughter from a previous relationship, 4 yrs older than him.She's not autistic.
It's a mysterious affliction & I do wish we had something to grab onto in regards a cause.
