Neurodevelopment and the Scientific Link to Autism
It’s been a few years now since the amazing discoveries made by the New Jersey based think tank The Center for Modeling Optimal Outcomes®, LLC. During their research into the field of neuroscience they inadvertently stumbled upon a scientific link to autism as discussed here.
What’s astonishing is the overall lack of effort made towards implementing any plans to investigate this matter further on part of the health and pharmaceutical industries. The best we can do is circulate the information we know.
So what was essentially discovered was the similarity in patterns between the cascade of
hormones originating in the hypothalamus and various other neurohormones and neurotransmitters. This recognition revealed a step by step, repeatable process for maintaining homeostasis in the body.
The implications behind their findings were tested in different ways, one of those ways was used to determine potential causes behind the mystery of autism.
Just a brief background to refresh the reader’s memory. Autism has been characterized as a neurodevelopmental disorder according to certain sets of criteria predefined by modern health professionals and scientists. These classifications typically involve social interactions, abilities, and behavioral patterns that often develop before the age of three years old.
Those statistics have been steadily pushed back to earlier ages over the years due to the vaccine issues becoming more prevalent and well known. Take for example the recent controversial documentary at the Sundance Film Festival that was banned but supported by Robert DeNiro called Vaxxed: From Cover-Up to Catastrophe.
So what can we do to raise awareness besides writing about it? You may want to help donate to causes like supporting the film above, and also raising awareness about how to combat it. This might include informing others about the importance of gluten-free diets, as well as casein; one might also take part in autism walks which are often planned around the world and involve groups of parents, children and volunteers, amongst others.
You could also go the more independent route and make tee-shirts on Amazon Merch, Zazzle, or Teespring. On these platforms you can run awareness campaigns and simply sell clothing for
the cause. Some of the best bidding site ideas like ebay you can actually set multiple quantities to sell at once.
One of the best ways to spread awareness and raise grassroots funding is the use of crowdfunding. If do this right, it might go viral and be the best option out of anything else.
Especially if you have no real budget to work with. Sites like GoFundMe and Indiegogo could see an autism campaign do quite well. The point is to raise awareness for the solution and give the funding to those who can get things done with it.

I thought you were on the other side of the vaccine-causes-autism debate? Whoever wrote that post seems to be firmly in the vaccine-causes-autism camp.
It’s a sponsored post and it helps me feed my family. That being said, I follow sound science. I don’t believe that Vaccines cause Autism. Unfortunately, there are some individuals who are genetically predisposed to being vaccine injured. That’s scientific fact.
Those are very, very, very rare compared to the number of vaccines given each year.
Sponsored posts are sponsored posts. I don’t necessarily agree with what they are talking about and it doesn’t necessarily represent my personal views..
Perhaps I should add a disclaimer?
You definitely need a disclaimer, at the absolute very least. I understand the need for revenue, but even with a disclaimer you are, at least in some way, endorsing the opinion contained in such post. Where do you draw the line in what you would permit on your blog in a sponsored post? What matters – the nature of the content or how much you get paid for it? I would be concerned about undermining the integrity of your blog. If you’d let anyone post anything on your blog for money, why wouldn’t you just post sensational fabrications about your life just to drive traffic? I don’t mean to suggest you’d do that but it’s just something to think about. All I can say is that it was a bit of a turnoff to see this insipid post here. But I also understand that you’re doing what you think you need to do for your family…
Here’s the thing. I’ve always been about both sides of the story. While I know that vaccines aren’t the cause of Autism, people do get injured and that’s a fact.
I have just as many readers that are anti-vaccine as aren’t. I allow people to share their thoughts without fear of repercussion. There have actually been plenty of posts I’ve refused to publish but this one didn’t feel irresponsible.
There’s a scientific study involved and not paranoid propaganda.
Does that make sense?
Yeah, I understand your position as it relates to the particular subject matter of this particular post. But I was also making a larger point about sponsored posts in general. Sorry if that got lost in my criticism of that post in particular.
In rereading it actually looks like link spam to me in the guise of a post about Autism, a bad post at that.

Sorry but I’m pretty uncomfortable with that post too. I get you need to feed your family but I agree with Jimmy Rock, placing it on your blog gives the impression you, if not wrote it, at least endorse it.
