Autism is Diverse not a Disease Robert Jr

Let's focus on that for a second. And what you're gonna find out is that autism is a different way of wiring the brain so that it will function. Nature is an amazing thing and it produced this alternative way for our brain to function. And autism is that there are different levels of autism and different ways to get through to each person so that you can communicate and

find out their ideas. When you manage to unlock those ideas that each and every person has within them, you find that wait a second, it's a different wiring of the brain. That means their brain actually functions and it functions at a very in a very different way. Notice I'm not using any terms that would denounce intelligence or or state something that there is a cure in the leading back to what Robert Kennedy Jr. Is actually driving at with the idea of bringing the CDC board to

examine why autism is at a all time epidemic. High epidemic needs the curable disease. There is no cure for autism because it's not a disease. There is no fixing the brain because there's nothing wrong with a person's brain who has autism. There is only a matter of understanding. And it would seem that once again that in order to put an agenda forth that mister Trump and his administration has to denounce something else that is wonderful and beautiful.

I will tell you this that I have been doing doing radio and podcasting broadcasting for quite a number of years, and one of my longtime partners has autism, and he was one of the best broadcasters I've ever met because he was able to focus on details that Hey, with my normal wiring of the brain was not able to see. He was able to hear things differently. He was able to see a different path of interesting. I just keep using the word different or diverse because that is what

autism actually is. It is a different wiring. It is a nature creating diversity within the human species. Okay, so this next recording you're gonna hear leads back to some

of my roots in broadcasting. One of the shows that Kelly Rayburn and I did together, and Kelly is that partner that I've talked about and long long term friend that I've talked about with autism, and he produced this next episode of Community Living, and that Community Living podcast you also you cannot actually listen to its entirety under our umbrella ads community living podcasts, but I'm going to post it up again because I think that this is

important to understand that autism is a brain function. It is not a disease. It's not necessarily a disorder. It's just a diverse functioning of the brain, and that we should respect that and we should also listen to people that have it, because there is no such thing as stupidity or any of those other really outdated terms that we just find a way to communicate together in harmony.

So let's move forward into the Community Living podcast as recorded by Kelly Rayburn about autism and r f k's junior's statements.

So basically he's going to talk about many of the issues that has come up with the House and Human Services Secretary from Robert F. Kennedy Junior, and discussion on the latest Autism and Developmental Disabilities monitoring, the a DDM network survey, the centers from these control and prevention in America.

So it's about thirty minutes. It's about thirty minutes clip of how Robert RFK Jr. Has talked about on the issues dealing with the CDC and I'm guessing could be dealing with vaccine issues and stuff like that that might be happening in and around America. So here now is a clip of RFK Junior holding the press coverance on the latest fundings with Autism through to the CDC.

Anyways, here's the clip now on RFK Junior holding press conference on the Autism fundings for the CDC.

they should be. And one of the things that we're going to do is we remove this function to the Administration for Healthy America to the Chronic Disease The new Chronic Disease Division is we are going to have updated real time data so that people can look at this. Americans can understand what is happening with chronic disease in this country in real time. And I'd have to wait two years to react. We don't wait two years to react to a measless epidemic, and we should not or

a diaby or any kind of infectious disease. We shouldn't have to do that for diabetes or autism. The ASD prevalence rate in eight year old this is now one in thirty one, shocking. There's an extreme risk for boys.

factor of four point eight. It's four hundred and eighty percent. I believe the first eighty DM the survey was twenty two years ago. One prevalence was one in fifty one in one hundred and fifty children in all the core states.

The trend is consistently upward, and most cases now are severe, so about twenty five percent of the kids who are diagnosed with autism are nonverbal, non toilet trained, and have other stereotypical features headbanging, tactile and light sensitivities, stemming, toe walking,

et cetera. One of the things that I think that we need to move away from today is this is this ideology that this that the autism diagnoses, that the autism prevalence increase, that the relentless increases are simply artifacts of better diagnoses, better recognition, or changing diagnostic criteria. If you look at Table three of the ad DM report, it's clear that the rates are real, that they are increasing in the last ten years, year by which is

the fruit beginning with the first one. Year by year, there is a steady, relentless increase. I want it because this this epidemic denial has become a feature in the mainstream media, and it's based on an industry canard. And obviously there are people who don't want us to look at environmental exposures, and so I want to just read you some of the little excerpts from some of the

older studies. The baseline for autism in this country was established with the biggest, the largest epidemiological study in history, a study of all nine hundred thousand children in the state of Wisconsin children under the age of twelve. They found point seven point seven children and autism meant every ten thousand. That's less than one in ten thousand. Today we're one in thirty one. The that study also confirmed

the for to one male to female ratio. There were at that time just over sixty children in Wisconsin with autism, and today it's around twenty thousand. In nineteen eighty seven, there was another exhaustive study, a peer viewed study in North Dakota set out to count every child in the state with a pervasive developmental disorder, including autism. That study meticulously can through every record, every diagnosis, and he even conducted the in person assessments of the entire population of

one hundred and eighty thousand children under eighteen. The autism rate they found was three point three per ten thousand, So that's in line with a one in ten thousand that was found in Wisconsin seventeen years earlier or contexts today, the last number of one in thirty six is eighty three times higher. In nineteen eighty seven, out of every one million kids, three hundred and thirty were diagnosed with autism. Today, there are twenty seven thousand, seven hundred and seventy seven

for every million. If you accept the epidemic deniers narrative, you have to believe that researches in North Dakota missed ninety eight point eight percent of the children with autism, and thousands of profoundly disabled children were somehow invisible to doctors, teachers, parents, and even their own study. The same researchers who followed the original cohort for twelve years to double checked their number. They went back in two thousand and found that they

had missed exactly one child. So doctors and therapists in the past were not stupid, They weren't missing all these cases. The epidemic Israel. Between nineteen fifty nine and nineteen to sixty five, researchers from fourteen hospitals associated with major universities undertook the National Collaborative Perinatal Project, tracking thirty thousand children from birth to age eight. This was no a half big survey based analysis. The study conducted nine separate screenings

covering neurology, psychology, speech, language, hearing, and visual function. Every developmental quirk anominally in disorder was logged with painstaking detail. Autism condition characterized by profound impairments and social communication and behavior would have stood out like a fashion, like a neon sign. There were fourteen cases as four point seven per ten thousand. So we know what the historic numbers are,

and we know what the numbers are today. And it's time for everybody stop attributing this to this ideology of epidemic denial and was in In two thousand and nine, the California State Legislature charged the Mind Institute of UC Davis with because this myth was already becoming pervasive. The myth of epidemic denial was already becoming pervasive in the

mainstream media. The California Legislature directed the Mind Institute of u SEE Davis to answer the question, and Irva Hertz Pahoto, is a highly esteem revered as a scientist, neurology and epidemologists, came back with a definitive answer. The epidemic Israel. Only a very very small portion of it can be changed, A better can be charged, a better recognition or better diagnosicteria.

I want to say a couple of other things. There are many, many other studies that are firm this and instead of listening to this is a canard of epidemic denial. All you have to do is start reading a little science because the answer is very clear and this is catastrophic for our country. There's a recent study by blackxail at All and a team of other researchers said that the cause of treating autism in this country by twenty thirty five, so within ten years, will be a trillion

dollars a year. This is added to already astronomical health care costs. And then there's an individual injury. These are kids that this is a preventable disease. We know it's an environmental exposure. It has to be. Genes do not cause epidemics. They can provide a vulnerability. You need an

environmental toxin and our erv hurtz. Buta Shoda pointed out that that because of this mythology tend to the amount of money and resources put into studying genetic causes, which is a dead end, has been historically ten to twenty times the amount to spent by NIAGE and other agencies to study environmental factors, to study exposures, to study external factors, and that's where we're going to find the answer. This is an individual tragedy as well. Autism destroys families. More importantly,

it destroys our greatest resource, which are our children. These are children who should not be who should not be suffering like this. These are kids who, many of them, were fully functional and regressed because of some environmental exposure into autism when they're two years old. And these are kids who will never pay taxes, they'll never hold a job, they'll never play baseball, they'll never write a poem, they'll never go out on a date. Many of them will

never use a toilet unassisted. And we have to recognize we are doing this to our children, and we need to put an end to it. And I think I'm going to have Walter Zahar Rodney, who is the most senior researcher for this project for ADDM, and who's been doing this for many years, to come up and say a little.

Disease Control and Prevention since two thousand. When we began our endeavor with CDC, we expected to do maybe two or three baseline studies to establish how many children have autism, because it was not expected that autism prevalence would increase. Other childhood disabilities, neurologic disorders do not increase or change over time. But somehow, for some reason, with autism, everything

was different. Autism went from being a very unusual, rare disability which affected, as the Secretary said, one child in maybe ten thousand, to being known in every community, every school district, every center that cares for children with disabilities. Autism is real. It's a true disability. It's not a personal quirky issue. Everything is changed for the individual with autism, and while there's a wide range of expression, it does change the family and it does inevitably change the community.

In the society in which we find it, autism prevalence has increased very dramatically. It's increased in New Jersey where we have excellent resources and access to services, and it's increased in all the states in the network. It's increased not only by the CDC ATOM network active surveillance activities, but it's increased according to federal idea, statistics and information

from multitude of surveys. It is a true increase. There is better awareness of autism, but better awareness of autism cannot be driving disability like autism to increase by three hundred percent in twenty years. That's what we saw on New Jersey. That's what the CDC report of yesterday indicates, and that's what, in my opinion, future reports from epidemiologists will show. The data provided in yesterday's report strongly suggests that not only is this a high point of autism prevalence,

but in the future rates can only be higher. Autism deserves to be treated as a real public health phenomenon, and I would say is an urgent public health crisis. It's not just that we're more astute or perceptive. It's not like these it's not like two or three children out of for everyone with autism has remained invisible. Autism

is striking and the consequences are life long. So I would urge everyone to consider the likelihood that autism, whether you call it an epidemic, tsunami, or a surge of autism, is a real thing that we don't understand, and it must be triggered or caused by environmental or risk factors. We need to address this question seriously, because, in my opinion, for the last twenty years, we've collected data but not made real progress in understanding of what causes autism or

how to effectively prevent it or treat it effectively. So I urge you to read the report very carefully. I urge you to do something that nobody does and go into the many supplemental tables and see that autism is a true phenomenon, and that we need a correct perception, not a perception that allows us to just provide services without understanding the root causes or the true factors at play. So thank you for your attention. I wish we could answer questions.

If autism, if the epidemic is an artifact, a better diagnostic criteria or better recognition, And why are we not seeing it in older people? Why is this only happening in young people? You know? I asked Walter before we came out here, I said, have you ever seen anybody our age? I'm seventy one years old with full blown autism, head banging, uh, nonverbal, non toilet trained, stimming, toe walking, these other stereotypical features. Where are these people walking around

them all? You can't find them. They're not in homes. There are no homes for them, there are no institutions for them. Why are we seeing them on the street? Anybody can look around and see that this is a canard, And then you have to ask yourself why is it so pervasive? Why has it been thrown up against us for so many years? And clearly there are industries. This is coming from an environmental toxin, and somebody made a profit by putting that environmental toxin into our air, our water,

our medicines, our food. And it's their benefit to say all to normalize it, to say all this is all normal, it's always been here. But that's not good for our country. It's not good for the press to not be more inquisitive, to not be more skeptical. And within three weeks, and probably we're hoping in two weeks, we're gonna announce a series of new studies to identify precisely what the environmental

toxins are that are causing it. This has not been done before, and we're gonna do it in a thorough and comprehensive way. And we're gonna get back to when with an answer to the American people very very quickly. Great, thank you, Yeah, go ahead.

one in five died from lung cancer. There were four of them that didn't and those were the ones that had some circumstances, probably genetic, and made them more susceptible to it. And the same is true. We know that that gluetithion production and glu gluteith ion is is an enzyme that that helps the human body excrete metals and toxins. People with low glutithion production are more vulnerable. People with the mt HF orgy in which dictates of methylation are

more vulnerable. People with high testosterone are more vulnerable. So there are a lot of genetic vulnerabilities. You need an environmental toxin.

going to look at food additives. We're gonna look at pesticides. We're going to look at air and water and medicines. So you know, we're gonna look We're gonna look at ultrasound because there's a timeline that you know, something happened. In fact, Congress said to EPA, ordered EPA to tell us what year the autism epidemic began. The EPA scientists

came back and said, it happened in nineteen eighty nine. Oh, you you know, you have to find a toxin that became ubiquitous around that time period, and that affected every demographic from Cubans and keeps gay to Inuit in Alaska, and that affects boys at the four to one rate show as girls. There's only amitted universe of those, but

actually it's quite large. And you know, erber Heertz Pachota was the one who suggested that one of the things we have to look at is ultras I don't think that that's probably a factor, but it's one of the exposures that became ubiquitous during that period, and we're going to look at all of them agnostically, We're going to find the potential exposures that increase during that time period, and then we're going to uh and we're gonna we're gonna see if there is a link to this, to this injury.

We're going to remove the taboo. People will know they can research and they can follow the science no matter what it says, without any kind of fear that they're going to be censored, that they're going to be gaslighted, that they're going to be silenced, they're going to be defunded, the licensed and we're going to give them permission to do this research. And then we're going to open it up to the research community and we're going to task them with certain outcomes and we're going to have them

come in bid on how to do the research. This is all being run by Jay Patachara and by and you know, I think Martin Coldorf may be also working on this undesigning the grant proposals. So it's going to be done by credible scientists, by the most credible scientists from all over the world, and we're going to do it very very quickly. Yeah, one more question. You identify yourself.

that also exert pressure on them to remove it. And oh, I wanted to say, I'm very grateful President Trump because he tas me on day one of this job with making this a priority of finding out what's causing the autism epidemic, and we are gonna do it for 'em. Thank you all very much.
