Child Murder-There is no justification

Ever since Wakefield was trounced by the GMC, Age of Autism has been posting more articles about vaccines than they have about autism.  
Today I stumbled across THIS POST that kind of made me wish they would have stuck to vaccines.
Adriana Gamondes tells us of how in reading all the details of this crime she began to think of poetry-murder ballads.
(And later in the article tells us that parents of autistic children do not have genetic mental health issues-feel the irony there).


After a bit of a lecture on murder ballads she jumps to AoA rhetoric-vaccine injured kids (which are not vaccine injured-they are autistic) are such a dramatic pain in the tushie that the 'vaccine injury community' feels sympathy for the parents that murder their children then kill themselves.


Because, you see, it is just so hard to have an autistic child.


I have an autistic child.  I have two other high maintenance children.  I recently took on an emotionally damaged child who is 16 months old.  Get over it.  Children are hard work.  They cost money.  They bring stress into your world.  They are also incredibly rewarding-if you bother to open your heart to them.


I cannot fathom this parent, this Adriana Gamondes that wrote this up. Don't get me wrong-at times she seems quite lucid.  She is correct, people need to be aware that many prescription drugs can trigger thoughts of suicide, depression, anxiety and so forth. 


The implication throughout Adriana Gamondes' post that parents of autistic children have not only some justification for murdering their children, but that they are fighting off the need to do so at any given moment-well it horrifies me.


Somehow she and her pack of rabid followers are all sure it is the child's fault, big pharma's fault-anyone but the mother's fault.  I find it terrifying that the word autism is a mitigating factor when discussing murder.  


I do not care if your child is loud, obnoxious, ugly, hyper, a fecal artist, severely handicapped or just plain difficult-it is our job as parents to do EVERYTHING in our power to ensure that child feels loved, safe and accepted while still working on developing skills and growth.


Nowhere, noway, nohow is it a parent's job to judiciously decide that a child needs to die.  
Period.

My comment on Murder Ballad

If anecdote were to equal evidence, with this one article you have demonstrated that mental health issues are prevalent in parents of children diagnosed ASD.
Anyone that can take a child's life is mentally ill.  Taking your own child's life is wrong, inexcusable and does certainly demonstrate that the murderer has severe mental health problems.

If you can't handle your child, ASD or not, feel free to call social services.  People like me will adopt them, love them and accept them-regardless of their weaknesses.

Shame on you all for endorsing this sort of thinking- that there is ANY justification for murdering a child.

Why does conference on Immunization and health coalitions single out Autism?

Why does conference on Immunization and health coalitions single out Autism?

The true answer:
Because of idiots like Jenny and Wakefield that worked so damned hard to sell their products woo theory that vaccines cause autism.  You see, these celebrities and quackadoodle scientists all came together and presented their passionate beliefs (or sales pitch) so that parents would stop vaccinating and instead purchase all sorts of woo products and books instead.

Now (our, as in Canada, USA, England and so forth) governments, health agencies & public relations persons etc all have to work very hard to calm down these upset parents.  To be able to refer parents of autistic children to sane anti-woo support groups.  To be able to present the truth (vaccines do not cause autism) without alienating parents.  To do this doctors, health nurses etc, will all need to be able to explain the science-cuz thanks to AoA so many have read these pretend studies, cropped graphs and outrageous lies that AoA puts out.

Why not caner? or diabetes?

Because you quackadoodle lack of critical thinking lobes you..... because the loud scarey voices are not yelling about vaccines causing cancer, or diabetes or whatever.  It is this loud and obnoxious quackfest of obsessive compulsive vaccinescauseautismologists that needs to be addressed.


Summary of comments:

(a post from a Lisa Kritz was allowed, only to create a pile of hatred spewing comments from loyal AoA'ers)

Garbo is dissapointed that casein free diets wont be on the agenda.
(Garbo-that is because GFCF diets don't have anything to do with anything besides quackery-unless one is actually allergic to gluten or cassien.)
Garbo also states that promoting vaccines is 'completely at cross purposes witht he agenda of this autism community'
(Truth at last!  Age of Autism is about being anti vaccines!!  Keep in mind that these attitudes do NOT reflect the majority of the actual autism communitites, only the dickieduckies of AoA and GR thanks.)

Harry has decided that it is ethical and moral to demand a study of vaccinated and unvaccinated.  Harry... you need to look up the words ethical and moral.  And yes, the science is in, just not science that supports your insupportable beliefs.

And that is just a start on the woo comments
