Children With Autism Have Brains That Fold Differently to Everybody Else's

This is an important clue.

Recent studies have shown that the deep folds and wrinkles that make our brains look like giant walnuts don't form in quite the same way in individuals diagnosed with autism - and this could help explain why it's such a complex spectrum.

Autism condition is more accurately described as autism spectrum disorder (ASD), a term that covers a broad range of loosely related traits including a tendency to be overwhelmed by stimuli and difficulties in developing certain social skills.

On top of that, ASD seems to predominantly affect more boys than girls, which in part could be explained by variations in the thickness of the outer part of the brain - the cerebral cortex.

Now we have more reason to believe that the structure of the brain's top layer might play a significant role in turning autism into an incredibly complex disorder.

1. pretty sure not vaccine related.

2. No thinking person's

ever really bought the post-hoc reasoning that said it was vaccine related.

"The visible symptoms appeared soon after the bout of injections at 6 months" relies on "visible" meaning "all", "symptoms" being immediate, "appear" meaning that we can see all the symptoms at any level of manifestation. The injections varied in content, and when it was "all thimerosal all the time" ignored other instances of thimerosal before and after that didn't lead to autism. In fact, causality was always an issue, with nobody trying to even think about how the vaccines could alter the brain in the ways known even then are almost certainly related to autism.

Soon after the Wakefield study it was already evident that there were ways of diagnosing autism that showed it was present at 2 or 3 months. Then we had the additional problem of "some autism's caused by vaccines, some isn't; vaccines sometimes cause autism, sometimes don't" ... And sorting out anything beyond, "Well, sometimes just means my hypothesis neither accounts for the extant data, nor has any predictive value" was impossible.

I put anti-vaxxer thinking concerning autism to be on par with theosophy.

3. wait

you mean vaccines cause your brain to fold differently??!!
