Autism raises some profound questions about human development, capacities and culture. This post links the existential questions asked by one boy with severe autism to the human capacity for language and social communication that have allowed human beings such global success. His autism queries what it means to be human and how to craft a human response.
Thank you. I was vaccinated at the age of 2, with the diphtheria, tetanus and poliomyelitis vaccine; after a few days, my parents noticed significant changes in my behaviour and demeanour, only later realising that my character was not developing for that of a “normal boy of 2 years’ age”. This was during the mid-1960’s.
My mother was an experienced State Registered Nurse with a specialisation in paediatrics and child development. When she tried to query the changes to me and whether they were due to “vaccine damage”, the medical establishment closed ranks against her. She was warned, very strongly, that if she persisted with questioning, her Nursing qualification, and therefore Professional status, would be revoked! From then on, I was denied any additional support or what later became “SEN” assessment, being left to struggle and cope (or not), alone.
I still wonder - just what was in those vaccines? I know, these diseases are horrifying, and both tetanus and poliomyelitis are potentially deadly; but I have seen, in other family members of the next generation, significant, similar developmental changes following childhood vaccinations - particularly both with DTP (the original “triple vaccine”) and MMR. Yet, what little research that has been carried out, has either been withheld from publication, or the authors silenced and, in some cases, totally discredited and stuck-off their Professional registers. Measles is a potentially life-changing vaccine for a very small minority, as is mumps; rubella is dangerous only to children “in vitro” or pubescent girls, causing only mild illness in children and adults. So, why give these vaccines to such young children? Is there some grand, secret, mega-scale social experiment? Since the introduction and mandating of these two triple vaccines, rates of ASC, ADD/ADHD and Dyslexia/Dyscalculia and Dyspraxia have increased massively - yet few dare to question the possibility of any biological link, which leads me to ask why. Are we, the working population, being subjected to non-voluntary biohazard experimentation?
This country (U.K.) has had more than a few - indeed multiple - medical scandals involving prescribed drugs and procedures, with associated cover-ups, over 60-plus years, with immeasurable, potentially-avoidable harm inflicted on thousands of us, which exponentially impacts the cost of long-term support and health provision.
Finally, as a retired Computer Programmer, Engineer, and Manager, I have talked with bioscientists, geneticists and theologians regarding chromosomal and DNA damage; it begs questions, such as “a computer programmes are “code”, comprised of keywords, values and commands; corrupted (or wilfully scripted malicious) computer code is harmful, e.g. viruses, malware, etc. DNA is the building-block of biology - and, having been sequenced, along with chromosomes, can also be considered (highly complex) “code”; interfering with it can (as evidenced by CRISPR gene-editing/re-sequencing) be beneficial; or it can be devastatingly harmful, developmentally. Has anyone else “connected the dots” and asked?
It seems that there is a growing wave of people asking the question. Governments desires to suppress anything they don't like can only last so long. It's good to read that RFK Jnr is on the case, as long has he doesn't get silenced.
simply beautiful, Jane. you brought tears to my eyes, even though I thought I had long since shed all that ever would or could.
my 20 yr old son with autism is currently going thru some major dental work and its breaking my heart, yet again, since I doubt he really understands what is going on. of course I try to explain it anyway. I told a close friend this morning that I would give anything for it to be ME going thru it instead of him. but that's our lives, isn't it?
Thanks Cary. Thinking of your son and hoping the dentist goes well. I think we'd need a general anaesthetic before being able to do proper work on teeth. Must be v hard for him.
thanks so much, Jane! he actually did very well sitting for nearly an hour, working on the first two cavities (one being quite extensive). he likely will need a root canal/post/crown procedure and I definitely will ask for anesthesia for that. he had extractions of 'baby teeth' (which actually caused some of the issue he is having now!) under anesthesia and did well. luckily we have a very knowledgeable treatment mentor & integrative internist who advises well on types of anesthesia that are cleared from the body, better than others. (we always advise against nitrous oxide, if you even have that over there, idk.) plus I give him small doses of calming things like GABA, beforehand
but still... a complication our kids don't need. *sigh*
Hi D I'm sure you are right about the dangers of those vaccines. We just don't know what they have done to people - and across generations too ... we are now into the third or fourth generation of humans who have had their natural immunity disrupted in this way. The unintended consequences could signal the end of the species if we keep on this track.

Oh Jane, this is so powerful and spiritual. You’ve moved me beyond words.
Thanks Valerie. It's hard to write without knowing if/how you reach people so much appreciate the encouragement.
