Autism is part of who I am.

I'll tell you what autism is. In 99 percent of the cases, it's a brat who hasn't been told to cut the act out. That's what autism is. What do you mean they scream and they're silent?

Don't sit there crying and screaming, idiot.'

It's a problem for a wide range of vaccine-preventable diseases.

I have a fairly strict definition of early infantile autism.

Autism is not a snapshot. It's a life.

When the link between the use of unsafe, mercury-laden vaccine and autism, ADHD, asthma, allergies and diabetes becomes undeniable, mainstream medicine will be sporting a huge, self-inflicted and well-deserved black eye.

In an ideal world the scientist should find a method to prevent the most severe forms of autism but allow the milder forms to survive.

Without autism traits we might still be living in caves.
