Autism is Not Mental Illness: Get it Out of the DSM
By Jill Rubolino
In this month of Autism Awareness, I am ever so aware of the great
disparity for our children on the autism spectrum regarding their
diagnosis and healthcare. It brings to light some major changes that
need to take place in order to not only stop the perpetual,
exponentially expanding numbers of children developing autism, but to
provide the already affected children with proper medical care and
treatment.
In a health care community that listed homosexuality as a psychiatric
disorder on the DSM until 1973, and recognizes alcoholism, addiction
and obesity as diseases, our children are suffering and being denied
proper medical attention. Not only are our doctors not acknowledging
our children’s medical ailments, they are flat out denying to us that
they are occurring or that somehow these conditions are some normal
variation of childhood.
This needs to stop immediately. It will only stop when parents demand
competent and educated pediatricians for their children and settle for
nothing less. We must no longer listen to the false and
unsubstantiated litany of canned text responses we hear from
uninformed, uneducated pediatricians and specialists. We must no
longer accept the standard answers that all refer back to one, already
discredited study, regarding vaccine safety. When pediatricians site
their references, how many parents ask them to explain that
information? How many doctors could? And yet, how many parents that we
know can site study after study, and explain biochemical abnormalities
‘til the cows come home?Autism as a diagnosis must be removed from the
DSM. Period. It is a medical disorder, with many causes, some of them
genetic and totally unrelated to a psychiatric diagnosis altogether.
Down’s syndrome is a medical diagnosis, has an identifiable genetic
abnormality, and a range of associated features also affecting that
person developmentally. It is not, however, diagnosed using the DSM.
Autism is not currently recognized as a medical disorder because, if
not diagnosed as a known genetic cause, it is a disorder caused by
environmental insult, including vaccines.
The resulting medical problems are symptoms of the underlying cause,
not the disorder itself. But because this medical disorder is caused
by vaccines given to our children by the very people who are supposed
to care for them and keep them healthy, it will not be recognized as
such. No other disorder, psychiatric or otherwise, is so blatantly
denied its medical or biochemical component except autism.
No amount of early detection or early intervention will reverse a
disease process unless it is treated medically. It is a process, that
left untreated, will perpetuate itself to variable degrees in each
individual with sometimes irreversible and devastating effects. The
medical community turning its back on basic medical principles in
treating their autistic patients’ symptoms first can only be referred
to as gross malpractice.
The pediatricians that are treating our children should be ashamed and
embarrassed at their complete negligence and incompetence in
recognizing a pattern of symptoms that is seen over and over again,
hundreds, and thousands of times in this patient population. And yet,
they cling to their outdated, obviously inadequate standard answers
and bury their heads in the sand while our children suffer and sink
deeper and deeper into Autism. Every parent of an autistic child has
heard some ridiculous, condescending statement from a physician while
they ignored that same child’s obvious vaccine reaction, or explosive
diarrhea, abdominal pain, mysterious rash, poor weight gain, reflux,
relentless fever, immune dysfunction, and on, and on. And they ignore
us, because they can.
Pediatricians, vaccine manufacturers, the CDC, and our federal
government are all protected under laws that are unconstitutional.
That’s right. Your pediatrician doesn’t have to worry about being
sued for your child’s descent into Autism after their MMR, or Proquad
because the US Federal Government says so. Even though adequate
informed consent is never provided, and protocols for vaccinating are
rarely followed appropriately.
Children get vaccinated without being screened for immune dysfunction,
mitochondrial disorders, and even when they have a febrile illness,
all inappropriate according to the vaccine makers’ own
recommendations. Yet, where are all the suits being filed for this
obvious malpractice? Because, as parents, we are spending every
waking moment and every dime we have trying to recover our children,
we have no resources to venture into this legal arena with special
masters and shorter statute of limitations. In a country where the
father of a child that resulted from a rape has a legal right to that
child, our children have no legal rights. By the time we navigate the
myriad of professionals that are deemed qualified to diagnose our
children as autistic, our statute of limitations has already expired.
It will take one individual with deep pockets and a fire burning in
their soul, to bring change. There is no exemption for gross
negligence by a physician even if it’s one of our kids. You are not
protected under the umbrella of indifference. It will only take one
case, one precedent. Change will happen.
The controversy about vaccines rages on, but only in the minds of
those officials who are themselves, responsible for the conspiracy to
conceal the truth about vaccines. All of the supposed nonexistent,
mainstream medical studies that apply to vaccines, and thimerosol,
mitochondrial disorder and dysfunction, seizure disorder, aluminum
etc. are all easily accessed by anyone with a computer and half a
brain. This may explain why the officials, that coincidentally have
some type of connection to vaccine manufacturers, cannot seem to find
them. All of the necessary medical documentation, studies,
information, case studies, etc. are there and readily available for
anyone who wasn’t deluding themselves that they can still go on
national television and tout that everything is okay. This political,
money driven quagmire will come to an end. Big tobacco took a fall
and so will vaccine pushers. And I’m thinking of one gentleman in
particular, I think we all know who that is, you will not make it off
this planet in an upward direction, sir.
I’ll leave you with the thought that for the same reasons that people
fought for civil rights, government officials are impeached, landmark
cases are won, people have overcome adversity throughout history to
affect change, we must do the same for our cause. I will pledge from
this day forward that the next time I get that look from a doctor, you
know, the placating one you get when you start to talk
gastrointestinal, I will put my foot down. I will say, “Why do you
look at me that way? Do you not believe what I am saying or are you
just not aware how negligent you have been in my child’s care? Why did
you not recommend a genetic work up for my child? Why have you not
tested his lead level before now? Why is it that while I sit here in
receipt of that condescending look, you don’t even realize that every
new piece of information I have found out about my child’s medical
condition is because I looked for it and not you? As we sit here
right now,
I know infinitely more about how to treat the medical condition of
autism than you, and quite frankly, you should be on the receiving end
of that very same look you are giving me. As we sit here and you
comment on how well my child is doing, and how far he has come, it is
only because of me, and not you, acting as his medical professional
and managing his care, and at the same time, being damn good at it.”
So pediatricians, and specialists be aware and beware. We will no
longer tolerate substandard, negligent care for our kids. And while
we might be the government’s scapegoat right now, that curtain will
come down, and they will sell you out just as fast. And then my
friends, you won’t be able to afford your malpractice insurance.
Jill Rubolino is the mother of two beautiful children, one who was
affected by vaccines and diagnosed with PDD-NOS. She, along with her
husband Richard, is currently working on her son’s recovery and
returning his body to a healthy state. Jill has been a nurse for
fifteen years and is appalled at the lack of appropriate medical care
for ASD kids. Along with friend Jeanna Reed (fellow nurse and mom to a
vaccine injured son) they plan to do something about it. Their
company, Autism Is Medical, Inc., focuses on educating doctors and
parents and bridging the gap between them. They can be found at

Let us all know when you finish posting all this complete shit, then
it may be worth us all returning.
If you could see your way clear to DROPPING DEAD that would be a
bonus.
Just keep repeating to yourself ' I am a worthless cunt of 'tard, and
I must remove myself from the gene-pool'
OR post your address, then someone will help.
To sum up:-
Fuck off and die
You Cunt

PMC,
Are you making a death threat or encouraging a hate crime?
Should I report you to the police?

No, he is expressing his outrage of you posting this to the autism
support group.
> Should I report you to the police?
Yes, you should report to the police. Perhaps they will find a way to
help.

You belong in the DSM,
a variation of sociopathy.
