JB.. Flu is a poor analogy. WHO is not on your side. It is hard to do all kinds of research when you have a child who is sick.. Let alone three… politics are involved here… Autism, laced vaccines.. Chemtrails.. Pesticides are not an accident… there is a common denominator… there are technologies to cure very many "Uncurable" illnesses and they suppressed by governments… please do actually to to TED page and watch Bill Gates speaking about vaccines, carefully.
Understanding genes linked to autism-relevant behavior in high-risk siblings
Psychology researchers are searching for early markers of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), following a study predicting ASD symptoms from children's behavior in the first year of life. Infants who demonstrated less initiating joint attention, using eye contact to share an experience with another person, tended to have higher levels of autism symptoms at age three. Ref. Source 5t.
Aerial spraying to combat mosquitoes linked to increased risk of autism in children
New research suggests that the use of airplanes to spray anti-mosquito pesticides may increase the risk of autism spectrum disorder and developmental delays among children. Ref. Source 1p.
Novel mouse model sheds new light on autism spectrum disorder
A new mouse model is the first to show that when more of a specific biological molecule moves between different parts of nerve cells in the mouse brain, it can lead to behaviors that resembles some aspects of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in humans. Ref. Source 9a.
Autism with intellectual disability linked to mother's immune dysfunction during pregnancy
Pregnant women with higher levels of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, proteins that control communication between cells of the immune system, may be at significantly greater risk of having a child with autism combined with intellectual disability, researchers have found. Ref. Source 2k.
Stress exposure during pregnancy observed in mothers of children with autism
Stress during pregnancy has been linked to several conditions, including some instances of autism spectrum disorder. Now, researchers have observed a variant of a stress-sensitive gene and exposure to stress during pregnancy among two groups of mothers of children with autism. The finding could be a step toward helping identify women who have greater risks for having children with autism when exposed to stressors during pregnancy. Ref. Source 3q.
Disrupted immunity in fetal brain is linked to neurodevelopmental disorders
New research findings in mice may help explain how viral infection during pregnancy raises the risk of autism and schizophrenia in their offspring. The study may explain, among other things, how the mother's infection with the cytomegalovirus (CMV) during pregnancy, which affects her own and her fetus's immune system, increases the risk that her offspring will develop autism or schizophrenia, sometimes years later.
