Vax Fears & the Pandemonium it Creates (opinion only)

Hi everyone I just wanted to put my humble opinion about this topic because I am frustrated with the censorship of this issue & the paranoia it creates, Its about the Autism Vax correlation theory, remember that these are theories, especially if your a parent who is looking for the issue the first time. I am not disputing that some parents may have children who have Autism by vaccination & some children who overcome Autism as well, I don't want to preach or tell you parents what to do about your child. However I am please urging you to all think with both sides of the issue first, & not one based on fear of the unknown, based on what I believe is one sided propaganda. I myself have Asperger's & one of my nephews has low to med verbal Autism & his brother has Asperger's like I do (we are officially diagnosed by the way), I have also see what Autism can do to families (running away from home,major messy houses etc), I believe in the Genetic factor & we are also decades, aport, & before you demonize the Vaccination as the total cause of Autism is upsetting to me as a person on the Autism Spectrum that 3/4 of the groups & info out including the well meaning groups & websites who say they are here to help us actually doing more harm than good on today's chidren (in fact in my diagnoses & my nephews the cause was not an issue) however these groups at the same time also put down people who don't agree with them on the anti vax issue & condemning those who are currently on the spectrum & happy with the way the are.

After this is done, I provide links on both sides of issue.

What upsets me the most is groups like Generation Rescue, Autism Speaks, Jenny McCarthy, (who is getting her own show too! scary) etc, with big followings based on limited or one side of the Anti Vax & cure debate, these groups do not represent me or my views. If you want to follow them that is your decision, however I believe in openess for information coming the scientists and other websites as well, like the CDC & WHO government organizations, I am defending the government either, in order to make an informed choice, the free flow of free speech and information need to given. I know that some people have overcomed there Autism, however that is very cases about 10% as per last news listings. I don't like quackery on either side. There are other Autistics who feel like I do, I have a feeling some are afraid to come forward because of intimating power of these groups because they will harrass & make fun opposers on their sites, & completely dispell the medical & science community which really wish to help (unless certain Dr's etc are on their side). Please listen to me with an open heart, I mean no ill will towards these groups, they just are upsetting me with their one sided views & philosophies, that are most often based on big financial kickbacks & pushy lawyers as well (not in all cases). Remember the tirade on "The Doctors" program, where they wanted to make fun of the doctors for not agreeing with them, also remember the fiasco with Andrew Wakefield & the Lancet which pulled his study after finding kickbacks & money grants he recieved for his flawed studies, & technically he is no longer a Dr. anymore,but some parents still praise him anyway as a hero:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Wakefield

Conclusion more research & more unbiased studies need to be done on what causes Autism & overcoming Autism & also not to dispell environmental factors which these groups try to cover up as well just to get money from the Vaccine companies whiching is going the wrong way instead of petitioning for Autism rights & for us to be recognized as a people. Please don't let fear & hatred influence your decision. Its my view that you cannot over Autism totally only the major symptoms associated with it, because of the Genetic base & Autism has been around longer than the Vaccinations itself, Einstein, Mozart, etc, who is trying to cover up who is the question, like calling the tea kettle black...

I possibly will have more to say another day....please see my links prior as to what Autism & the Spectrum is....
Thanks your friend, a Proud Aspie & Autism Facebook leader Zoey :)
remember try to stay positive & I on,ly mean well with the openess of ALL Autism info I know that there are Autistics & other Spectrumites, like me who while we are not socially perfect, can make up a lot of our own decisions based the information out, hopefully good over the bad.
Remember Misinformation leads to Discrimination!

Links: Its your judgement call on these groups I am just providing the information In my humble opinion) try to be well meaning but one sided & censor information (when you respend to there stories etc) that doesn't go along with there views (wiki is still good despite it not being perfect) By the way I am not dispelling that side effects from Vaccines can occur, I am objected to them being used as the only hypotheses & cause for Autism & others with Genetic roots:
