Exclamation autism linked to rapid brain growth

A couple of days ago I was reading an article in the news and it said that researchers had just finished a study that linked rapid brain growth to autism. I said that sometime between two months and fourtheen months of age the child has accelerated skull growth, and brain growth. They say the rapid brain expansion in theory is too fast for vital neurological connections to form in the brain. They are saying this gets rid of the vaccine theory because the skull growth accure before the MMR shot.

I thought this was very interesting and I wanted to share it with everyone.

I don't buy it in my son's case. I heard that too just a few days ago and I have all my son's original medical reccords and the chart was showing his head size around was within the normal rage. I do remember having a discussion with some other moms that where kinda laughing about how there kids have big heads but not linking it to an autism thing so I can see where that can be true in some cases. Anyway, I never believe the mmr set off my son's autism because mmr never had mercury it it and my son has a lot of mercury in his body and he changed rapidly after having many shots in one day so I still believe that therory. Also, and this is just a thought, some babies have died shortly after recieving vaccines and the brain swells and then the parents are charged with shaken baby syndrome. They have found that in an autopsy that it's very hard to see the differents between a swallen brain from a reaction to vaccines and shaken baby syndrome. Most babies get there first shot before they leave the hospital before the blood brain barrier closes so the toxins goes straight to the brain so maybe that is why some kids start to grow a little more........who really knows, that is just something that crossed my mind a bit.

I agree. I think the AMA is trying to hide their guilty a$$es (from filling our babies with toxins) behind big heads. DISGRACEFUL!

I agree also. I have 4 boys with slightly bigger than normal heads- only one with an ASD. The one who had seizures after his shots- and the one whose doctor blew them off as being a "normal" reaction to them that some kids get and there was nothing to worry about.........
