No, it's actually brain damage. The 30% brain inflammation that's common is due to toxins in the brain. These toxins - especially mercury and aluminium - result in very fragile synapses. The synaptic pathways collapse, and the brain compensates by trying to create more pathways faster than they can collapse.

The 70% of Autistics with IQs in the 70s or below shows it's brain damage as well. 70s and below is called MENTALLY RETARDED RANGE.

“…aluminium exposure is associated with the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines and with the development of chronic oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction and glial activation or dysfunction; these changes in turn are associated with ASD.”

(Aluminium in vaccines causes BRAIN-DAMAGE linked to Autism!)

“The preponderance of the evidence indicates that mercury exposure is causal and/or contributory in ASD” (in other words, mercury – as in vaccines containing the organomercury compound Thimerosal, is linked to Autism)

“…the significant association between vaccination and NDDs all support the possibility that some aspect of the current vaccination program could be contributing to risks of childhood morbidity. Vaccination also remained significantly associated with NDD after controlling for other factors, whereas preterm birth, long considered a major risk factor for NDD, was not associated with NDD after controlling for the interaction between preterm birth and vaccination. In addition, preterm birth coupled with vaccination was associated with an apparent synergistic increase in the odds of NDD above that of vaccination alone.”

(NDD = refer to neurological damage, in other words *BRAIN-DAMAGE* )

“This study supports a significant relationship between increased organic-Hg exposure from Thimerosal-preserved childhood vaccines and the child’s subsequent risk of a ND diagnosis.

I can easily cite hundreds more.

Your crap calling what I'm saying "ableism" is just you using insults instead of dealing with the science.

I don't give a fuck about your better, kinder term. The scientists say RETARDED, that's NOT a slur. That's the term. I will not abide with politically-correct nutcases to dictate what "science" should say, any more than I would go along with the Soviet Union's propaganda or China's propaganda or North Korea's propaganda when they made anti-scientific claims.
