Leading Austism Information In North America

In the past decade, autism spectrum disorders have become epidemic in western countries. The number of afflicted children has risen from 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 150. Some areas are now reporting 1 in 67 children are afflicted. Thousands of parents report their children regressed dramatically after vaccination - some following thimerosal (mercury) containing vaccines, some following the triple live virus MMR (measles mumps and rubella) vaccine or a comination of all. Many also believe that aluminum adjuvants added to many vaccines and known to cause neurological injury may also be involved in their children's disabilities. Dozens of autism groups have been started by parents seeking answers. Following is a list of some of the top groups doing cutting edge work in the field of autism recovery
