I've said this many times before, but here's the truth: I don't believe that vaccines cause autism, however I am autistic. I live a happy life -- I own a motorcycle and I build diggers for a living for Caterpillar. I never let it hold me back, and knowing that I was autistic and that life would be a challenge only made me push even harder, jump even higher, aim further, and achieve greater. I've achieved a lot. I'm happy. I love my family and my friends. I don't see autism as a curse at all. If I had to choose between what I have now, and dying of some otherwise preventable disease at age 2, I know which one I would choose. There was once a lady in my city who was speaking out about vaccines. Coming from the UK I thought that the anti-vaxxer movement would never hit us, but I was wrong. I was walking around with my sister at the time; she helps me to buy clothes and helps me to manage my money. The woman made a bee-line for my sister and immediately asked her if she believed in vaccinating children, to which my sister agreed that vaccinations are very important. The woman then, in what I can only describe as inside-voice-volume-screaming, told my sister that vaccines cause autism, and that autism is something that you don't want your children to have because it means a lesser quality of life for them, and results in putting a burden on the parents. I started welling up because I never thought of myself being a burden before, and then I realized that I dragged my own ******* sister out with me just to help me buy ******* clothes. I had to wipe the tears away and I felt like just dropping my bag full of clothes and running away crying.... My sister started screaming abuse at the woman and pointing at me, saying how I've done so well for myself and that I have a future, then the woman tried to talk to me, and she used to ******* words "Oh, oh, no, no, I don't mean you personally, I just mean autistic people in general. Do you understand that? I know that autism makes understanding things difficult." At this point I should explain that I am prone to anger, but I spent 2 years during my school years in a sort-of therapy-type session thing trying to help me to control my anger. It's made me much more peaceful, but with the downside that when I snap, I now snap real bad because I'm just not overly used to being angry anymore. I stopped crying, and began breathing deeply to stop my rage from kicking in. I really did not want to go ham on the woman, but she was there calling me a ******* idiot in front of my family, and pretty much insulting everyone like me who has ever ******* struggled with this condition ever. She looked at my sister and asked if I was having an "autism fit", and then I snapped. I don't quite remember exactly what I said, but I remember screaming at her, using the words " **** ", and "cunt" a lot. I yelled how I had tried to be civil with her and that I only wanted to go out to get some clothes, not abuse. People gathered and soon the woman was silenced.. I remember one fully grown man started crying and hugged me, saying how his youngest daughter, aged 8, was autistic and she was the light of his life. I don't go clothes shopping with my sister anymore.

Yeah I've never understood society's hang-up with autism. Except in extreme cases, it seems to me like it's less of a disease and more of a different way of processing information. But I guess it's the whole "hurr! different! bad!" thing that the morons in charge throw around

Autism is Mercury Poisoning. There is a 100% correlation in symptoms. Mercury was marketed as a preservative via a University of Maryland operation to distribute it into vaccines. It was 'snuck' into said vaccines by the Eil-Lily company and rebranded as thimeoseral. Autism cases skyrocketted when ethyl mercury was used in dental amalgum, until it was banned. Autism rates dropped to almost zero, then climbed massively since thimeoseral was placed into kids vaccines. - Mercury has a large appeal to both the CIA and pharmaceutical companies, it causes life-long dependence on medicines (for mercury poisoning is incurable and has many variant effects depending on the afflicted person), number two, it creates massive hormonal stress and tension, resulting in a person who can be 'governed' by fear. Administer that to society and run news broadcasts to enhance the effect, you can effectively warp a civilization to do anything. University of Maryland = CIA programs. (They are next door). We can thank them for autism.

except there isn't mercury in vaccines, only a compound that contains mercury. It is completely harmless and has since been REMOVED from vaccines because the public believed it to be dangerous. this happened years ago but autismo rates are still going up Hydrogen and oxygen make up water, but add one more oxygen atom and you get hydrogen peroxide deadly if consumed the mercury compound "therimosal" is harmless and not even in most vaccines anymore. The increase in cases of autism is due to the increase in cases being reported, new forms of diagnoses, and new classifications of what autism is. More people aren't getting autism, we're just identifying more people who have it.

So what's it like to be autistic? Really curious because the most I've ever really understood about people with autism is they like to group things together or at least from what I seen in those pictures where they show how an autistic kid puts all the colors and shapes to match with each other. and it's kinda something I've wanted to understand since I want to be a therapist as I get older

Assburgers here. Imo the main difference is having to put effort into understanding peoples feelings, our brain don't do it automatically, well. It sucks if you're stupid, but if you inteligent enough you'll be a living lie detector by 10 and capable of predicting actions and behaviours with an unfair degree of accuracy by 20.

This post kinda gave me heavy feels.

I always struggled with stuff like handshakes, saying good bye, bodily contact, emotions etc. Always been popular among both guy friends and girls, but I know I've always been considered somewhat "eccentric". I do things my own way, and people know that.

I've always been incredibly adept at figuring out if people are lying or not, though. I had huuuge problems interpreting people when I was younger, and now my problem is that people can't even tell a white lie without the situation getting awkward. And the reason the situation gets awkward, is because I just really suck at hiding the fact that I know they're lying. I'm not telling them, of course, but my body language always gives me away. My body language can be grandiose at times, and I suck at masking it.

Now, I have a gf, apartment, own my own business and I'm successful in my job. But I always talk too much, and I still struggle with body contact etc with people I don't know REALLY well.

Been checked out for ADHD, all kinds of DSM diagnoses, and I've had sleep issues since I was born (to the point of my mom getting partial facial paralysis due to lack of sleep), but I've never been checked for autism.

I dunno, man, I dunno...

I know what you mean by the whole lying thing. I'm 22 and still think it's wierd how people go around with 24/7 facades, usually for no practical reason.
I also have had trouble sleeping since birth/early childhood. If I fall asleep within an hour, I'll consider that worthy of note. I went from disliking sleeping as a kid, to becoming a fan of doing jacksquat in bed. Imagine if smartphones were around when we were kids, **** would be whack.

aspergers here (its categorized under autism)

Main defining characteristic of aspergers (to me) is an inability to pick up on social norms and non-verbal cues. Other aspects involve very linear thinking, and a very specific type of stubbornness. Well, since im **** at describing it, I just wanted to say that I thought the portrayal of max on parenthood is pretty accurate. He's a young boy with aspergers in the show Max' Journey

I've learned to cope with it pretty well, so its hard to think of examples as it's been awhile since its been really bad.

The way I can best think of it is that if I found something more logical or better, I would usually do it as opposed too following the established way of doing things. These are weak examples, but I'll sit weirdly because it makes me feel more comfortable.

OH i thought of a good one. I didn't understand why people waited at the hospital when someone was sick or getting surgery. I thought, well they're going to get better or worse whether or not I'm here while the surgery happens, so why cant I be at home and happy while it happens and then come back when its done.

Yeah, I just didn't really care what came before.

Another thing I remembered (and this is something they really nail with max in parenthood) was inflexibility.
I couldn't easily deal with changes to plans. Any agreement or deal with me, I expected to happen exactly as planned, and I'd get irrationally angry when it didn't. This is something I've actually made huge progress on, to the point that I think I'm over it.

That's good to hear

There was something similar to that that occurred to me as well. I would make goals for myself every time here and there, but as soon as I hit a bump I would instantly become demotivated and eventually give up on it. Getting into psychology I understood that goals rarely help you reach your potential, and instead you should build paths along the way, so that way if you hit an obstacle you can simply move around it.

Thanks for answering my question, really helps getting an inside look from someone who is effected by this

I have Asperger's as well. Honestly, it makes it that certain social cues that people pick up on naturally, such as tone of voice, I have to be taught, and it takes a long ass time. I still sometimes have to be told certain things. Combine that with my ADHD, OCD, and Tourette's syndrome, and I have had a very difficult life. However, because of this, I have to work harder than most people, and that caused me to exell. I took AP classes throughout high school, was years above my classmates' reading level in elementary I was reading Harry Potter in second grade, and understanding it Now, I am in college for programming. Rather than a curse, I consider my autism a blessing. I would be nowhere near where I am today without it.

Hey man, thats great too! I'm glad you're doing better.

I've heard two little relevant bits about psychology. The first one is never talk about your goals. You get the same reward from talking about them as you do from doing them, so instead talk about progress you've already made.
The second one is a little bit less psychology, but it's don't check for progress too early. You'll just become impatient and unhappy with your success. (This one was actually taught to me by my buddy in regards to lifting.)

This might get a bit personal, but what type of autism do you have? (PDD-NOS, classic autism or asperger). I have a little brother i care a lot about, he has PDD-NOS and i am quite worried about his future sometimes. He's now going to a specific school for people with autism and healthcare in my country is also great, but I'm still worried about him, for he doesn't seem to understand that one day he will need a job, pay taxes, maybe even have kids and generally just take care of himself. Right now he's addicted to video games to an almost unhealthy degree and i wondered when or even if the "kick" comes in, when he realizes he actually needs to take care of himself. Did something like that happen to you, and if it did, did it come gradually over the years or more like a sudden shock after you found yourself in a situation where you we're forced to take care of yourself?

of course it's different for everybody, there's already a world of difference between asperger and PDD-NOS let alone humans in general. but i'd still like to ask, for i might not encounter someone like you again.

PS. I'm sorry if i sound a bit intrusive, but i've never had a chance to ask such questions,if you don't (want to) answer, that's fine.

I actually have PDD-NOS, but I never went to a school for people with autism; I was put into mainstream education and was bullied a lot.
After many years I learned that instead of "being normal", I could just act normal, and copy other people. If I observed behaviors which were encouraged I would copy them, and if I saw behaviors which were mocked/ridiculed, I avoided this kind of behavior.

It took me many years, but after about 4/5 years I was able to play off the "normal" card, but I still have difficulty socializing with others, judging what's inappropriate to say/do in conversation, and even just picking out clothes for myself.

I would say that your brother will be fine, and that all he needs is time; soon he should find a friend who will help him enter a social circle, and from there he'll learn behaviors which will benefit him.

I wouldn't worry about him too much -- for me, understanding a lot of things didn't take them, they sorta occurred overnight and all it took for me was having my family supporting me and helping to explain things to me when I didn't understand..

I didn't get the best grades in school; they were pretty much average, if not slightly below. What made the biggest difference for me was joining a motor vehicle course; I never much liked writing and I had never considered doing anything practical like engineering/motor vehicle before, but I loved it so much that I got good at it, and before I knew it I had gained a lot of experience and qualifications.

If your brother struggles with grades my only advice is to help him find something practical; I have friends who have Asperger's, ADHD, dyslexia etc. and they all found that soon after quitting pencil-pushing they learned a lot about themselves, and nowadays I only tell my most trusted friends that I'm autistic, but online I'm perfectly happy to tell anyone.

In my opinion, your brother will be fine -- don't try to force him away from videogames; emotional connections for us can be really tricky to maintain, and forcing us away from what we love can really put a strain on relationships, but if you go out and invite him with you he may well go out and find he enjoys himself.

I'm going to bed now, but please feel free to message me; I'm glad to help

well to be fair autism does make everyday things difficult in comparison to someone without autism, many times autistic children can be a "burden" on their families (this is an objective fact even though it sounds harsh, www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4PTf7LgsIE ), and by your own admission you started crying and throwing a temper tantrum in the middle of a store, if there was a definition of an "autism fit" id think that would be it.

crucify me if you want but besides the whole vaccines cause autism thing she was pretty much right.

No no, I agree.
We're harder to look after from young ages -- as a baby I never really stopped crying, at a very young age I had figured out how to sneak out the back gate by taking the sticky elastic thingy off of my diapers and putting them over the lock so it didn't engage, leaving it open for me, and I used to get angry quite a lot.

Can't really say what changed most of my behaviors other than bullying and counselling.

One time an old work colleague of mine got fired because he thought he'd be funny on Snapchat and snuck up on me and whispered "This is how you slap someone", and then he started slapping me on the head, the face, and my neck.

I'm a lovely person in real life, but if you look at the Family Guy clip I've attached you'll see almost exactly how I react when people touch me on the head.

I don't mind being touched, but if it's on the head and with the force of a mild fistbump you know, the handshake thingy I get really angry.

The Snapchat clip made it out of work and someone had one of those things that lets you save videos from Snapchat.

Basically, it was just him saying "This is how you slap someone", then him hitting me repeatedly while I was sitting down, and I started getting angry and crying. He thought it was funny..

This world need more special people like us. sjw's please don't get offended for me using special, it was the only word I can think of

I wake up, eat breakfast, go to work, come home and browse FJ.
Nothing is really different if I'm honest, but I do require assistance from my family and I have a number lying around somewhere for some person who's supposed to assist me when I need to until I turn 21; her name's Laura I think, don't quote me on that and she has a spare key to my front door, about a £20 grant if I want counselling at a restaurant etc. and she can help me with transportation.
I don't call her though; I think it's sponging and her time is better spent with other autists.
I didn't properly begin socializing until about 11 years old, and even then my first words in class were "Go away. I do not want to be your friend." my parents had specifically asked for the school (Abbotsweld or something like that in Harlow) to call them if I spoke, since I never really did. My mother came in ashamed of what I had said and my stepfather couldn't stop laughing.
Not gonna lie, my average day is what I would call normal, but maybe once a week or so I'll need someone to come out with me to help me around.

That's a good perspective to put on it. I know vaccines do not cause autism, but even if they did, would it be worse than a child dying and putting dozens of other people at risk of the that disease? Just goes to show how uneducated people are about how autism really is.

It's alway revitalising to hear other people on this site actually have autism, like it took 15 years for me to find out I had it but I literally have seen nothing bad about it, it's more of a personality thing with me like it literally does not hold me back one bit apart from things I really don't need, I'm popular, hopefully smart and just love life.

If they would find alternate additives that weren't toxic then there'd be less problems with vaccines. Although it was discovered that the immune reaction to the polio vaccine did paralyze some people.

I didn't find out I had autism until after I graduated high school and you know what changed? Nothing.

I still have a bunch of good friends, a family that's proud of me, and a job that pays well enough. I don't feel any different, and I sure as hell wouldn't die over having the life I have. As far as I and anyone else cares I'm perfectly normal.

The only difference is that if I ever **** up and lose my job I can sign up for SSI and still make some cash until I find a new job, which is ******* rad.

This is exactly what I love to see, bro. Talking positive like that, positivity is just as contagious as negativity. I love to see this. Make the world a better place and bring encouragement to others. If you touched one person that read this and they got their **** together then you have done great. Alwayas bring encouragement, smile at them, what ever it takes. I was severally depressed not long ago, literally I pulled myself out of it 3 months ago, and I'm not looking back. But Remember how ****** things were got suicidal, the usual. But I was at work and this guy I hated was in a good mood and he smiled at me, that was it. Just a friendly smile. And for reason I ca't explain that made me happy, put me in a good mood, someone smiling at me, maybe because things were so bleak. But it through me off guard. And I realized if a man that I once hated made me happy and put a smile on my face just by smiling and saying hi, then that means it works the other way around. I try to smile at others and be happy and friendly towards them because I know that maybe it will brighten someone day.

If you don't mind me asking, what exactly do you do for Caterpillar? I bet it pays good as well! But my all means if it's none of my business say so. Anyway Godspeed and spread that encouragement.

Only in some cases. The only doctor in my ****** podunk town won't give the combo shot to kids with private insurance, even if your insurance will pay for it. Only kids on the state welfare get the combo shots. Then they couldn't even give me a ******** reason why.

So my kids had to get 6 instead of three, but they got them.

Arkansas, because it was move here or my husband wouldn't have a job since he got furloughed at the railroad. (It was 2 years before his yard called him back and by then we'd already relocated.) I swear this place is like living in the 90's all over again.

I've heard things like 'We don't do that Harry Potter, but what about The Hunger Games.' and 'I don't use that internet.' when I suggested checking on Amazon for something they couldn't find in any of the stores in town. The only places open after 9pm is Walmart, McDonalds and the 1 all night gas station, and out of the 6 stations in town only one has an ATM and it is connected to their phone line so if someone calls while you are trying to get cash then your transaction fails. They don't have any foreign language in schools until 10th grade - 10th freaking grade. The Junior High kids all think 'Take me to church' is a religious song. This place is so backwards and it's actually one of the larger towns with schools rated highest in the state.

The worst part is that I moved from Texas so it's not like I came from somewhere liberal or someplace like New York or whatever and they really don't understand just how behind they are or that everywhere isn't like here. Oh and they are obsessed with Razorback football - like everyone. I could go on forever.

TL DR - Arkansas

I remember when the swine flu was rampaging through the europe, my country made vaccines against it, they were non mandatory, and were free for small children and elderly people, i could have gotten one for a small price but decided not to.


They caused Narkolepsy on some people.

I still think vaccinations are important, and people who don't take them are dumbasses, i also think that people should only take vaccinations that are needed, and not take vaccinations against some pussy common cold.
