Jessy asked:


My brother showed many signs of Autism as a child and my mother neglected us so he never got diagnosed. The school labeled him ADHD but now that I’m an adult I see that his behavior was not ADHD at all. I am pretty convinced he has either Autism or Aspergers. (sp?) This is the first opportunity we’ve had to get him some answers because our biological mother is finally out of the picture. He is 19. If anyone has any help that would be great!

I’ve been reading so much about autism and about the the different views on the links to the vaccines. But are there any reports on children who have autism and have not been vaccinated?

K M asked:


My son is 20 months old. The symptoms that fit on the autism spectrum are that he speaks no words but can hear fine, he flaps his hands when frustrated, and frequent tantrums. But what doesn’t fit is that he is very social, makes a few gestures, and plays with other children appropriately. They say he is probably on the spectrum. But I’m wondering if there are other disorders with similar symptoms. Any help would be great!

Jess C asked:


I’ve got high functioning autism and i have got friends with Asbergers. Asbergers is a form of autism but what is the actual difference between the both?

Olympia asked:


I’m currently pregnant and wonder if there’s anything I have to do to prevent autism? Is it true that certain vaccines can cause autism? Thank you

Jenny McCarthy claims that her son Evan lost his “Autism Diagnosis” after a year of diet and detox. Is this really possible? My understanding is that either you have it or you don’t there is no in between. Looking for some medical professionals answers here.
