From: JOHN on 11 Jul 2008 07:09 July 9, 2008 For immediate release and distribution Vaccine Autoimmune Project Publication 1 in 88 - Autism/ASD among Children of Military Families By F. Edward Yazbak, MD, FAAP and Raymond W. Gallup In another sensational article, Ed Yazbak, of our scientific advisory board and Ray Gallup, our co-founder are revealing that the prevalence of autistic spectral disorders among children of active duty military personnel in the U.S. has reached an alarming 1 in 88 and that some 90% of these children are not getting ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis). This is unacceptable and we ask all activists and communities nationwide - regardless of their cause - for unity so as to help these unfortunate and forgotten children. It is the least we can do for our brave men and women in uniform: http://www.vaproject.org/yazbak/1-in-88-20080709.htm Angela Warner, a military wife, activist, and mother is calling for immediate action! We request that everyone please support her courageous and tireless efforts: "The CDC Says 1 in 150 Children Have Autism; We Say NO! Nonsense!" http://www.vaproject.org/warner/CDC-Says-1-in-150---Nonsense.htm Please visit Angela's Blog, Autism Salutes for further information and to support the military children and families: http://www.autismsalute.blogspot.com/ UPDATE: US Department of Education 2007-2008 Autism Statistics The number of children with Autism attending school has continued to increase since 2002 when a CDC study revealed a prevalence of 1 in 150 among 8 year old children. VAP has just obtained 2007-2008 figures for New Jersey and Minnesota and compared them with figures for school year 2001-2002: New Jersey up 111% among 3-5 yr-old and 150% among 6-21 yr-old Minnesota up 197% among 3-5 yr-old and 202% among 6-21 yr-old Complete data for 2007-2008 will be published on the VAP web site in October when the U.S. Department of Education Annual Report to Congress is published: http://www.vaproject.org/statistics/autism-statistics.html Vaccine Autoimmune Project (VAP) http://www.vaproject.org/ ================================ PARENTS TO: *JONNY ~ "RECOVERING AUTISTIC ENTEROCOLITIS", ORGAN DISEASE, GI/BOWEL DISEASE, "LNH", PANCREAS DISEASE, METABOLIC DISEASE, IMMUNE DYSFUNCTION, ALLERGIC GASTROENTERITIS, MITOCHONDRIAL DISEASE, OCD & ANXIETY, POST-VACCINE ENCEPHALOPATHY DAMAGES *SIERRA ~ "RECOVERING AUTISTIC ENTEROCOLITIS", APRAXIA, AUTOIMMUNE ENTEROCOLITIS, ORGAN DISEASE, GI/BOWEL DISEASE, "LNH", PANCREAS DISEASE, METABOLIC DISEASE, IMMUNE DYSFUNCTION, ALLERGIC GASTROENTERITIS, ALLERGIC ENTEROPATHY, PROTEIN-LOSS ENTEROPATHY, POST-VACCINE ENCEPHALOPATHY DAMAGES, SURVIVED ON A FEEDING MACHINE 3 YEARS *WILLIAM ~ NOT VACCINATED and HEALTHY Barbara H Labrecque Child Advocate bnblabrecque(a)stny.rr.com 607-734-0036 President, Vaccine Autoimmune Project (VAP): http://www.vaproject.org Founder, Recovering Autism Founder, TOXIC HUMANS RecoveringAutism meetup: http://autism.meetup.com/223/about/ 1 in 6 children suffer from a developmental disorder ~ 1 in 67 have Autism...

How many of them need it? If the rates are that high, it suggests that authorities are now diagnosing milder and milder cases who would previously have gone unrecognised. ABA is a useful form of treatment for some autistic children, but certainly not the one-size-fits-all treatment it's often made out to be. For many, and possibly most, of those children, it just isn't going to be a necessary/beneficial/appropriate treatment. (My son almost certainly has mild ASD, although we're still awaiting the formal diagnosis. I see no reason why he would benefit from ABA at this stage.)
