posted by:

I know for a fact that birth defects like deafness, blindness, congenital heart and down syndrome are causes of german measles, chicken pox, high fever, asthma or mother conceiving babies in their old age and etc… but what causes autism and attention deficits? can they be acquired or really inborn?

    Functional defects can affect the nervous system, immune system, reproductive system, endocrine system, or other systems of the body, and may not become apparent for months or years. These may include, for example, mental retardation, autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), some types of blindness and deafness, some immunological problems, and some degenerative disorders. AD/HD is a disorder that makes it hard for children to sit still, control their behavior, and pay attention. It is usually diagnosed before the age of 7, but not always. Doctors aren’t sure what causes AD/HD, but studies support the theory that it is related to an imbalance of certain chemicals in the brain called neurotransmitters.

    there is no known cause for autism, and it is something you are born with….and attention deficit is just a name they gave people who happen to by hyper or have poor attention, because the FDA requires something to be a disease or disorder for there to be a medication/prescription for it…

    Attention Deficit is acquired by the lack of parents not properly disiplining their child. I had ADHD for about a half of a day before my parents cured me. I had a few occasional relapse moments but the strong corrective action of my parents cured me very quickly.

    Those of you who do not have children with ADHD and have not researched the disability need to get their facts straight and understand that this is a very difficult and serious disability!! Unless you’ve been there, lived with it and seen it first hand you have no room to speak and make judgements!!

    There are many who suspect mercury in a vaccine additive causes autism, but the science behind it is weak. (Not non-existent, just weak.)

    i feel like they can be acquired…b/c people do get rid of it eventually…if they try
    so if it was genetically don’t you think it would be with them forever

    Too many antibiotics and vaccines given at birth by careless parents.
