Not Only Are Autism and Schizophrenia Related They Are the SAME If you change the name of disorder a rose is a rose

THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT VACCINES CAN'T CAUSE AUTIS! AUTISM IS A CATCH ALL TERM THESE DAYS A VACCINES CAN HURT SOME CHILDREN AND CAUSE BRAIN DISORDERS



Autism and Schizophrenia May Be Related

A new study supports the idea in autism research that people diagnosed with either schizophrenia or autism often share the same rare genetic mutations, Nancy Shute reports. Julie Daniels, an epidemiologist at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, looked at the health records of the parents of 1,227 Swedish children with autism who were born between 1977 and 2003. Those parents were twice as likely to have been diagnosed with schizophrenia as parents of children who didn't have autism. Other studies of early childhood brain development have shown that in both autism and schizophrenia, the brain development process is accelerated from birth to age 3.

In the On Parenting blog, Shute explains why the new study--while scary on its face--is actually good news. Earlier, she reported on evidence dismissing the link between vaccines and autism. And U.S. News's Bernadine Healy recently looked into the autism-vaccine link, after the independent Office of Special Masters of the Court of Federal Claims--with a 20-year record of handling vaccine matters--conceded that the brain damage and autistic behavior of Hannah Poling stemmed from her exposure as a toddler to five vaccinations on one day in July 2000.
