Rated 4.4 out of 5 by 7 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by LaceyNY1 Sooo great.... but Overall the sheets are amazingly soft and cozy and very well made as you would expect. The "but" is only because we have a mattress that is 16"+ and the queen fitted sheet did not fit well. I ended up buying a king flat sheet to use instead and i just fold it under at the sides and bottom. I hope the king flat doesn't shrink too much more or it might not be quite wide enough to fold under on the sides. As far as the length of the king flat it is not long enough to fold under at the head of the bed, only at the bottom but it does extend up far enough so you can't see the mattress under. So far this has been working fine. I have been eyeing these sheets but I was hesitant because I knew our mattress was larger but I was set on getting organic cotton sheets and have not been able to find deep pocket sheets anywhere. I'm very happy with them, just wished they offered a deep pocket style too. December 7, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by littleredfish Sooooo cozy! This flannel is just beautiful. Got these to make our bedroom a little more "masculine" so husband doesn't feel so overwhelmed with "girly" elements! ;) Beautiful, great quality stuff, and great customer service. April 26, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by skigirl1 Nice Very good quality though a bit pricey. You could tell it was organic bc on first wash there was basically no foaming - which you always get when they coat clothes and linens with chemicals. It's such a difference to sleep on this chemical free material. My allergies were better the first night. November 22, 2010
Rated 1 out of 5 by bellalunababe serious flaw Like the other reviewers, everything looked great in the beginning, but the fabric tore from the buttons to the end of the duvet after a couple of washes. We returned the cover and it was replaced with a new one. It happened to the second one shortly after we bought it. Frankly it is too difficult to have to deal with a second return. Being a busy person I prefer to buy top quality once and then not have to worry about it. Not with this item - I don't recommend it unless you have the time to return it a few times - kind of like IKEA, a bit hit & miss on quality. April 18, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by Geoffrey Flannel Sheet Fast delivery...the flannel fitted sheet is wonderful. Great color plus it is organic. We're ready for our next purchase! February 21, 2010

There is no doubt that drinking large amounts of alcohol is bad for your health. But, given the potential health benefits of drinking moderate amounts of alcohol, the American Heart Association recommends that adults should consider drinking some alcohol. However, it is important that adults who drink should do so only in moderation. Women should have no more than one alcoholic drink per day and men should have no more than one to two drinks per day.
If you are considering beginning or continuing to drink alcohol, you should:
- Consult your physician to discuss its benefits and risks given your family history. Certain people should not consume any alcohol, such as pregnant women, people with liver disease, or those who are on certain medications.
- Limit your alcohol intake to one drink a day if you are a woman and one to two drinks a day if you are a man.
- Periodically review your use of alcohol with your doctor. You may need to change your drinking behavior if you begin to consume too much or experience harmful consequences as a result of drinking alcohol.
- Never drink alcohol if you are going to be driving or operating machinery.
Here's Why:
People who drink moderately have heart disease less often than nondrinkers. Alcohol appears to increase HDL, the good form of cholesterol. Some other ways that researchers believe alcohol may help protect the heart include:
- The alcohol or some other substance in alcoholic drinks may prevent platelets in the blood from sticking together. This, in turn, will reduce clot formation and the risk for heart attack or stroke.
- Flavonoids and other antioxidants in red wine may protect the heart and arteries.
However, there are many negative health effects associated with alcohol intake, as well. This is especially true with heavy alcohol consumption. These include:
- Increased levels of fats in the blood called triglycerides; high blood triglyceride levels are associated with coronary artery disease
- High blood pressure
- Heart failure
- Alcoholism
- Obesity
- Stroke
- Breast cancer
- Suicide
- Accidents
Here's How:
Moderation is essential with alcohol because many chronic health problems can develop, or be exacerbated, from alcohol abuse. One drink equals no more than 1/2 ounce of pure alcohol. For example:
- 12 ounces of beer
- 4 ounces of wine—It is important to note that a "glass" of wine usually means 8-12 ounces for most people. However the official size of a glass of wine is 4 ounces or 1/2 of a cup. Measure it once, into your wine glass to see what that amount actually looks like.
- 1-½ ounces of 80-proof spirits
- 1 ounce of 100-proof spirits
If you choose not to drink, you are not missing out. You can get antioxidants from fruits and vegetables, and the flavonoids in red wine are also in red grapes and grape juice. Regular exercise increases HDL levels, as does alcohol consumption. And, if blood clotting is a concern for you, talk to your doctor about taking aspirin on a regular basis.

Comments about Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim Aminco Bottle Opener Keychain:
They only had this product at 2 stores in my area, both of which are more than an hours drive so I had to order it online.
I bought it as a gift and at first they said it would take 3-4 weeks to arrive in store after I had already paid and chosen shipping method. I couldn't change it. Luckily it came in in about a week.
The quality was a little less than I had expected but I was still happy with the result, and so was the recipient.

Comments about New York Yankees Aminco Bottle Opener Keychain:
I like the small, convenient size and the fact that it has my team's logo on it. But, it doesn't really open bottles very well. I have to go around the cap and pull two or three times to get the cap off. But, since it's small enough to put on your keychain, it's good enough to open your bottle when you don't have a good one around.

Curmudgeon's Corner
cur-mud-geon: anyone who hates hypocrisy and pretense and has the temerity to say so; anyone with the habit of pointing out unpleasant facts in an engaging and humorous manner
Truth In Borrowing?
My weekday mornings include listening to Jay Weber on WISN1130 radio. He began a discussion this morning concerning what he called, "truth in taxing". It makes a great deal of sense from my perspective, although I've chosen to call it Truth in Borrowing.
The premise is simple. When we borrow mortgage money from a lending institution, we are given a Truth in Lending form that explains all the ramifications of the loan we are about to receive, including what we will have paid back in total if the loan runs to its full amortization date and if our payments are each made on or before the due date.
How's The Economy Doing?
I spoke with a good friend yesterday who was lamenting over the economy. He felt that business was off, money was tight, and that people weren't buying things. He happens to rely on the mainstream media for the information he receives, and is not nearly so addicted to the news cycle as am I.
We discussed the economy, and he was persuaded that it really wasn't all 'gloom and doom' as he'd been thinking it was.
Open Letter To Rep. Wasserman...Part One
A Germantown citizen, John M., provided me a copy of the e-mail letter he sent to Rep. Wasserman on October 20th. It seems that Rep. Wasserman knocked on the John M. residence door and spoke with Mrs. M. John M. then sent his letter seeking clarification on various matters so as to be able to make an informed decision about voting for either Rep. Wasserman or for incumbent Sen. Darling when that time comes.
I received a follow-up e-mail from John M. yesterday advising me that he had received no response to his original letter. He also mentioned that he had telephoned Rep. Wasserman's office on October 29th and left a message asking if the assemblyman would respond to his letter. He has since had no response to either his letter or the phone call.

Representive Wasserman Stopped To Chat Today
Rep. Wasserman stopped at my house after the Packer game today (that augers well for him) and agreed that he wanted to participate in the back and forth with Sen. Darling as we've been proposing for some time now. He'll surpass 7,500 doorbells rung in a day or two, by the way!
I am sending him the link information for Curmudgeon's Corner so he will be able to engage in our debate.
Cigarette Tax Collection "Threats"...
Governor Doyle's tax collection 'gorilla' is now promising tough enforcement action against those who use the Internet or cross state lines to buy cigarettes where taxes are less costly than Wisconsin. This comes into play on and after January 1, 2008.
I've not smoked a cigarette since July 5, 1985, so I don't have that dog in this fight. I can find another dog or two that I've got in this fight, however.
Politicians: Our Advocates Or Our Adversaries?
We vote for, and hope to elect, people who appear to be like-minded, or at least I hope that is the case. If we have certain positions that are important to us, we tend to try to identify the person running for office that is nearest to the position we hold. (Nearest becomes the operative term when we look to the coming Presidential election. None of those running meet all my tests, but I must select that person whom I believe is nearest. I cannot afford not to vote or to vote for the other candidate simply to register my protest.)
What Americans Think About Immigration Policy...
From American Solutions, we see the following report:
69% of Americans Believe Immigration Is 'Seriously Headed Off the Wrong Track'
Recycling Center Visit Fee Out...
The village board took the possibility of a $1.00 per visit fee for use of the recycling center off the table at its last meeting.
That is a sensible move given the fact that every Germantown citizen is required to use the recycling center.
What A Guy!
Who? Why Governor Doyle, of course.
If you've not yet seen it or heard it, we have just been 'given' the expanded version of BadgerCare called BadgerCare Plus.
Television Writers' Strike Thoughts...
Ernie Kovacs, a television entertainer in the early years of TV, wrote most of his own jokes and had a great sense of humor.
I've paraphrased one of his quotes slightly...
What About 'Waterboarding'...
You've probably heard more than enough about 'waterboarding', a technique employed (or not employed depending upon whom you choose to believe) to gather information from people who want to cause us harm.
The subject found itself heavily debated in the discussion about our new U.S. Attorney General, Michael Mukasey. Senators can seemingly connect everything to approvals of presidential appointments. Both Senators Kohl and Feingold chose to vote against the confirmation of Mukasey. Sen. Kohl was quoted as saying he did so because of Mukasey's unwillingness to call 'waterboarding' torture. Sen. Feingold used that as part of his reasoning, but he was more concerned with his age-old drive to increase Congress' authority at the expense of the Executive branch of our government. As an aside, what would Feingold's position on that issue be if he really thought he had a chance to be President?
Ethanol Boondoggle...
Ethanol has been part of our jargon over the past few years. We see it shown on our gas pumps. We know that it is chiefly made from corn. We know that it is subsidized by our federal government.
What most of us don't hear often enough is this:
Ethanol produces worse gas mileage instead of better.
Instead of helping the fuel shortage, it exacerbates that problem.
Those of us using 'reformulated' fuel pay an even greater price since that reduces mileage as well.
Ethanol requires something in the range of 1,000 gallons of water for every gallon of ethanol produced.
Water resources are being overwhelmed by the amount consumed to produce the ethanol that is forced on us.
A small ethanol plant equals the water consumption of a community of 10,000 people.
People who know suggest that we will create semi-arid land where farm land once existed through depletion of supplies.
We know that politicians from the West already have their eyes on our water resources.
Ethanol is highly corrosive thus creating distribution problems over longer distances.
Ethanol plants are literally popping up all over the Midwest because the plant must be close to the user.
Ethanol breaks down very quickly thus making it impossible to be stored effectively over time.
Ethanol has created significant issues for farmers who raise the food we eat.
Farmers are, expectedly, rushing to plant more and more corn because the market is being stimulated
Corn-based food products are rising in cost.
Other grain-based products are in shorter supply thus increasing those food costs too.
Meat costs are increasing since much of beef, poultry and pork stocks are fed corn and other grains.
Mexicans, for example, are now paying over 30% more for tortillas simply due to the ethanol they're producing.
Ethanol is seemingly loved by many politicians.
They certainly love the votes it brings them from within the farm belt.
Ethanol plays to those who want to cause us to use less and less oil when we should be drilling more and building refinery capacity.
Politicians look for quick fixes since they tend to view every problem as being part of an election cycle.
Residential 'Tipping Fee' Back In The Budget...
Thanks to Ty Finke (GermantownNOW reporter) who gathered and reported this information.
We wrote earlier about the proposed $1.00 per visit recycling center fee (also sometimes referred to as a 'tipping fee') a week or so ago. At that time it appeared that the village board had decided against such a tipping fee and had requested that it be pulled from the proposed budget.
Frankenstein Veto Debate Today (Updated 11/15)...
The senate committee did pass Senate Joint Resolution 5 on November 14th. It is now up to Sen. Russ Decker (D), the new senate majority leader, to determine if he will schedule it for consideration by the full senate. It is important to remember that senate Democrats felt snubbed by Governor Doyle during the battle over budget items. In part, that led to the overthrow of Sen. Robson by Decker. Many believe that the Dems will permit this to be voted upon by the senate and that it will be likely to pass that body. That would send the message to Doyle that he had better give the Senate its 'due' and not embarrass them as they felt was the case last time around.
Have You Thought Much About CO2 Emissions?
Neither have I [except when Al Gore sneaks onto my television screen], but I came across a website that is selling 'Carbon Offsets'. If I buy enough carbon offsets, they'll give me the assurance that I've canceled out all the bad stuff I'm doing to the environment. Does this also mean there is a site somewhere that will take my money and forgive me for other bad things I do or contemplate doing?
I drive an SUV that calculates out to producing 27,174 lbs of carbon dioxide per year. If I pay this company $79.95 for the first year, I'm off the hook for being such an environmental hazard. I get a static-cling window decal telling everyone how great I am and a bumper sticker. The company sends my money to somebody else who'll plant trees or build wind generator farms or whatever seems to be the 'saving grace' of the day. They assure me that all this is audited by the Center for Resource Solutions, a non-profit (which must mean I can trust them implicitly) organization that apparently knows that there really is global warming and that we humans are so smart that we can reverse it even though it seems these cycles have gone on and remain unchecked for ages.
Citizens Coalition Wants Budget Reductions...
The morning Journal Sentinel carried a brief story about the Germantown Citizens Action Coalition and attributed several points to the group's president, Larry Prodoehl.
Mr. Prodoehl reportedly stated this group of Germantown citizens wants the raises for non-bargaining village employees trimmed or eliminated and that they want the proposed recycling center 'tipping fee' dropped entirely. He reasoned that the tipping fee, expected to raise between $40,000 and $45,000 per year, was approximately the amount needed for the raises. That has been estimated at $36,000 for the initial year.
Medical Associates Being Sold To ProHealth Care...
The announcement concerning the sale of Medical Associates to ProHealth Care has been expected for months and finally was made. ProHealth will buy Medical Associates for about $40 Million and the deal is expected to close around the beginning of 2008.
ProHealth owns Waukesha Memorial Hospital and Oconomowoc Memorial Hospital. Medical Associates has clinical facilities in Menomonee Falls, Hartford, Sussex, Germantown, and Waukesha. The bulk of Medical Associates' 175,000 patients are admitted to Waukesha Memorial Hospital and to Community Memorial Hospital in Menomonee Falls.
How Tough Must It Be?
How tough must it be to have roused your membership 41 different times, only to have sand kicked in your face? That is where 'poor' Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) finds himself as the week begins in his world as U.S. Senate Majority Leader.
Sen. Reid has played to the far left side of his party and has sought, 41 times now, to end the Iraq conflict by snuffing out funding and/or imposing requirements that troop withdrawls be completed by a time-certain. In return, he has failed to gain sufficient bipartisan votes to override the veto either made or threatened by the President. It has been said that the definition of a person who is crazy is when that person continues to do the same thing over and over again expecting a different outcome.
Sendik's In Germantown? Wow!
I don't know about you, but I am excited about having our own Sendik's in Germantown. I only wish it could be up and running in about a month!
My most recent issue with the local Pick 'N Save was finding a huge hole in the self space where minced clams were supposed to be yesterday. Apparently everyone in Germantown decided as did I that Clam Chowder was what I needed to eat last evening. That had to be the case since the empty shelf space would've easily held 100 or more tins of minced clams.
Will We Feel 'LOST'?
There is this 'small' treaty that has rattled around for decades and is finally back on the front burner. It is the Law of the Sea Treaty, or 'LOST'.
This treaty has been passed by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee by a vote of 17-4. I had written to Sen. Feingold, a member of this committee, asking that he NOT vote in favor of LOST. He voted in favor of LOST, but thanked me for expressing my views (which made me feel all warm and fuzzy, of course).
MPS Same Sex Partner Benefits...A Slippery Slope?
The Milwaukee Public School Board's Finance Committee took a vote last evening concerning whether or not to support "equal provision of employee benefits regardless of an employee's sexual orientation or family status". The committee voted 4 to 1 in favor of that change in the MPS system.
Up to now, there are four school districts that provide similar benefit coverage. Those schools are in Madison, Middleton, Sun Prairie and La Crosse. Additionally, the City of Milwaukee and MATC provide domestic partner benefits. These kinds of changes have been made elsewhere around the country so this is not new although it is still unusual.
My Friend John Will Miss This Thanksgiving...
This will likely be the last of my Blogs about my friend John. He passed peacefully with his loved ones by his side at about 11:00AM today, Wednesday, November 21, 2007. He frankly wished that he wouldn't see another Thanksgiving Day, and as late as last Saturday we talked about how imminent that day was. John received the answer to his prayers and has gone on to a better place.
John continued to teach me much right up to the very end. He fought his battle with cancer with a dignity, strength and resolve that I was amazed to see. I am not sure I'll be able to follow in his foot steps when that time comes for me, but I will have no excuse if I don't.
Minimum Mark-Up? That Helps Us How?
You have probably heard all about the 'minimum mark-up law' that prevails in Wisconsin. You' ve learned that Wal-Mart publishes a different 'Black Friday' flyer with higher prices for use in Wisconsin than in neighboring states. And on and on and on.
What you and I refer to as the 'minimum mark-up law' is actually known as the 'Unfair Sales Act'. It is, in fact, unfair to you and me; but it is more than fair to those whom it 'protects'! Two very brave lawmakers are trying to get this unfair law changed once and for all. Why do I call them brave? Because the people who want to keep this unfair law in place make lots more money with the law than without the law. That means they are going to do everything in their power to keep this from happening. That means things will get downright nasty for those who support the change. Among the groups wanting to maintain the status quo will be the liquor and malt beverage wholesalers, and the major gas station chains and operators along with the fuel wholesalers. It isn't often that profits are guaranteed by law.
Political Logrolling...And Ethanol
While reading a Wall Street Journal Op-Ed this morning that discussed ethanol, I came across the term 'logrolling'. It just sounds sort of seamy, doesn't it? If it were something for politicians to be proud of, I imagine we'd see the term and hear the term used often during political races. Instead, this term is hidden from sight, and I don't recall ever hearing it come from the mouth of a politician...whether about himself or herself, or even someone with whom they were upset. It is, to me, reminiscent of the Lyndon Johnson era of politics. The days of 'bourbon and branch water' celebrating one's victory or another's defeat.
Back to ethanol. This Op-Ed was written by Robert Hahn, the former co-chair of the U.S. Alternative Fuels Council under President Bush 41. He discusses the relative value or lack of value that is 'ethanol'. To begin, us taxpayers are subsidizing ethanol to the tune of $0.51 per gallon when it is blended with gasoline. That subsidy is necessary to make us think we're getting value from ethanol. If there were no subsidy, we'd be paying $3.50 or more per gallon of gasoline if it contained ethanol. But of course, if there were no subsidization, there would be no ethanol since the numbers simply don't work out. Among those factors are simply poorer gas mileage and disruption of our food supplies.
Naughty & Nice List...
A group named Liberty Counsel has published its list of merchants that fall into the 'naughty' (no mention of Christmas) and 'nice' (Christmas mentioned) categories.
Since our Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Christ, it seems appropriate that such a list would be published. If you're of the persuasion that this matters to you as it does to me, then here is the list:
High Gasoline Prices & Congress...
Anyone who drives has developed a bit of 'shell shock' when it comes to the prices posted on our gasoline pumps. Fluctuations of ten cents a gallon are not uncommon. Unfortunately, those fluctuations tend to be smaller when prices go lower and larger when prices go higher...or so it seems.
We see gasoline prices increasing on a regular basis and we see nothing happening that will change that trend. We're not building new refineries because the costs of complying with all the regulations makes that a foolish investment. There are oil fields available but we're not drilling. Even if we drilled and found more oil to get the cost down from $100 per barrel, we simply couldn't find refining capacity to handle the new crude. We're actually losing refinery capacity since it is even too costly to modify some of the existing refineries to stay in compliance with the constant flow of new regulations. Two such refinery closures happened in Illinois. Does it seem reasonable that those closings caused us to pay higher prices? I think so.
Doctor Disenchantment...
An old phrase admonishes..."Physician, Heal Thyself". There is new meaning to the phrase these days.
More and more, physicians are growing disenchanted with the practice of medicine. They still love to treat their patients, but they do not necessarily like the manner in which they're forced to practice medicine. Physicians have long chafed under the mantle of managed care. The idea that some 'suit' would tell a doctor how to run his or her practice simply galled the doctors.
Voter ID An Absolute Necessity...
The news came as a great surprise, just like the fact that the sun rose in the East. We still don't have the ability to keep the people who are not entitled to vote from voting.
The statewide voter registration system will not be ready for the February primary elections. It may not even be ready for the November elections. Yet the man whose responsibility this new system was has been promoted by our governor to be the legal counsel for the new Government Accountability Board. I feel all warm and fuzzy over that appointment.
Mortgage Foreclosures Soar...
This was the headline in a morning Journal Sentinel story on foreclosures increasing 67% in the month of October. That is a frightening statistic, and it was no doubt intended to be; that attracts readers.
The story went on to mention that Wisconsin ranks 22nd in the country so far as mortgage foreclosures go, and then defined that ranking as equating to 1 foreclosure for every 997 mortgages. This represented 2,506 foreclosures in Wisconsin in October.

If a client is having both their wedding and reception at the Gardens, and the wedding must be moved indoors because of rain, the wedding will be held in the building reserved for the reception.

Twin Study Suggests Environmental Role in Autism: Now What?
Posted by Alycia Halladay, PhD, director of research for environmental science, Autism Speaks
As reported last week, a large twin study supported by Autism Speaks compared the frequency with which identical and fraternal twins both share a diagnosis of autism. This approach enabled the investigators to use statistical techniques to calculate the degree to which environmental factors shared by twins contribute to their risk of developing autism. Such factors include conditions in the womb and during birth.
The results of the California Autism Twin study were game-changing because they revealed a much larger environmental influence than had previously been estimated—accounting for about 58% of the risk of developing autism. By contrast, much smaller twin studies had previously suggested that genes largely accounted for a child's risk of autism.
The results underscore the need to investigate the role that non-inherited risk factors play in the development of autism spectrum disorders (ASD). So what's being done to help speed this research? And what role are Autism Speaks and its donor dollars playing in this effort?
Autism Speaks has funded over $21 million in the study of environmental risk factors, an initiative we call (obviously enough) the Environmental Factors of Autism Initiative. Already, we have a large body of evidence suggesting that it is not any one environmental factor, but many different factors working together, that elevate the risk and severity of autism in individuals with a genetic predisposition for this condition. In other words, autism is seldom caused by any one thing and neither is it an "all or nothing" condition. Furthermore, different combinations of genetic and environmental risk factors contribute to individual cases of autism.
Within the Environmental Factors of Autism Initiative are ongoing studies focusing on environmental exposures that occur before and during pregnancy and throughout the first year of life—crucial periods for human brain development. These studies look at such possible risk factors as maternal and paternal age, socioeconomic status, season of birth, exposure to chemicals or toxic agents, nutrition and exposure to various pharmaceutical drugs during pregnancy, the difficulty of labor and delivery, and various other forms of prenatal stress. The researchers we support are also investigating the mechanisms by which genes and the environment may interact (so-called epigenetics) and the role of the immune system. We are also supporting large scale epidemiological studies that focus on pregnancy and the first year of life. These include the EARLI study and the IBIS study.
Are you interested in learning more about the studies Autism Speaks is funding with donor dollars? We are proud to debut the new Grant Search function on our website. Please use it to explore past and present research studies by topic or location. And if you or your family is affected by autism, please consider participating in one of our clinical studies.

Very interesting! I was wondering if there had been any study of the placenta amongst identical twins. I have 7 year old identical twin boys who had separate placentas (I was surprised to find out that if the egg splits with 72 hours you still have identical twins but separate sac's and placentas). Both have ASD but one is more severely afflicted then the other. I have not been involved in any twin studies but would like to be!
July 10, 2011 at 8:03 am | #4
I'm with you! We have fraternal twin boys, 10 years old, one on the spectrum, one typical. I think we're moving down the road and collecting data. BUT, I think the scientist need to be careful making some of these statements. There were some big sweeping statements made early on when autism was identified, blamed on the parents, the environment and people told they cannot live a life with it / institutionalized… I look at all of this as more information gathering. My son is old enough to start talking about what's going on and why he's not the same as the other kids. I do all this reading so I can understand a little bit more how he thinks about things vs how I do and so we can relate better to each other
July 11, 2011 at 12:08 pm | #7
I can emagine. My daughter wasn't diagnosed until college and with tutoring and help managing her daily schedule, graduated in 05.
I haven't been able to find that research is being done re NVLD. Since NVLD and autsim traits overlap, but it's two distinct disorders, will austims research help shed light on NVLD? Or, does anyone know of research being done specifially for NVLD?
What about regressive Autism and after birth? Are there studies there? Twin studies are the way to go. It will tell so much and I don't understand why there haven't been more larger studies and data collected. They can help to crack some of the problem. I like Stephanie's suggestions and also, I banked the cord blood of my ASD son and am interested in studying this. My son regresses but lucky has continued to make a lot of progress with diet, ABA and lots of PT/OT. We called in a Flu shot reaction (big inflammation that wouldn't go down for 2 months) and the Dr. dismissed it. Also, I noted a "sensory freak out" a couple of days after my son's 6 month shots and told my husband, "Something is just not right here". Watching the therapy that he needed, and worked well, I often wondered about both vaccine overload causing stroke or encephalytis. I am now hearing more Dr.'s saying hold off on vaccine's if there is a reaction. Good on them! Especially after hearing about the HPV girls and how they kept getting sicker with each shot to the point of dying, being constantly in a hospital bed or homebound for years (and they are bigger than a little baby). Glad the medical community is now "Waking Up" I hope all America wakes up to all this crap getting injected into small developing brains/bodies. I also had the flu shot when pregnant with my ASD child. He is the only one with Autism.

I agree totally on shot overload. My son was the only one to have the chicken pox vaccine among others in one day around his 1st birthday. That is when we noticed his change in personality, increased anxiety and panic. My older son and younger daughter do not have autism.
I have 2 1/2 yr old twins (ferternal). One has Autism, the other does not…I also dont think the condition of the womb has anything to do with it..They both have been exposesed to the same shots, foods and enviroment conditons. Its going to be a puzzling thing for a long time unfortunatly…
I have to say I'm not sure I agree with some of these conclusions and would greatly like to see the peer review data that is available on this study and how it was conducted. I'm an identical twin, both me and my brother were diagnosed in 1993 with Asperger's Syndrome and I was reassessed in 2006 where the original diagnosis was confirmed. My brother and I were apparently part of a study back in the 90s that helped to determine Autism is genetic and not environmental, and I am trying to also rack down the peer review data on that study as well. I'm currently working towards a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology; this subject is of great interest to me, I'm curious to compare the data from this study & the previous study that my brother and I were subjects of.
What do the boys carry that are "stronger" genetic links? Why is so much more prevalent with Males? All people in the family of the Autistic person need to note it on their medical history and be especially observant with their children, especially the males. NOTE ANY vaccine reactions if there are any. If your child has a severe reaction to a shot, you should stop and consult a Dr. I've heard too many people (including nurses) state that the Dr. insisted on getting more shots and the child was hospitalized!!!! When are people going to listen???? When it's your own son or grandson? I guess so!!! You'll have to listen then, I'm telling you and you better have lots of cash on hand for what he direly needs in order to succeed, lots and lots of therapy!

The reason boys are more affected than girls is because of genetic coding. A female genetic code includes two X sex chromosomes (XX), and boys have an X and a Y (XY). Dad always determines the sex of the baby, as the woman's egg always produces X's. So dad's sperm is either an X or a Y combination, and that determines male or female. Think of a Y chromosome is an X that is missing one tail… So a female has two X's (XX). Let's go back to that. If part of the genetic code on one X is damaged, the other X may turn on "unused" portions of itself to "replace" the damaged or missing code. With males, the Y is essentially the X without one tail. So there are, frankly, less genes to be utilized. I have a B.A. in Psychology and this may not be the best explanation, but this is what I know. I hope it answers your question.
My Son is now 20 years old. He has a twin sister who is not on the spectrum. Makes sense since 4 out of 5 of those affected are male. I stopped focusing on cause and looked to treatment to maintain my sanity years ago, however, now that Iwe are on the subject, I am compelled to ask the same question I asked some 15 years ago: How many of these twin/spectrum pregnancies experienced pre-term labor, subsequently treated with medications like Mag sulfate and albuterol to prolong the labor? I've always had a sneaking suspicion that that is the culprit. Any news on that?
Our autism spectrum son was reared in a house nearly one hundred years old–any "domestic" issues of micro environments in the study you described? What specific environmental factors were indicated as having an impact? –chemical? airborn polutants? lead paint? What?
Micro-preemies, babies delivered with a birth weight less than 3 pounds, have a significantly higher rate of showing signs of autism than the general population…1 out of 4. The study showing this came out a couple years ago, but is something we've long suspected.
Our 10 year old boy was delivered via emergency C-section 3 months and 3 days before his due date. Cole weighed in at a wimpy little one pound, 5 ounces. After a bumpy 4 months in the NICU, we brought him home & registered him for Early Intervention services.
I remember asking the intake people whether he could have autism or not, because instead of intently peering at my face as I fed him, Cole would gaze at the big triangular valances on his bedroom windows. Naw, they insisted….and he did grow into a very affectionate, giggly toddler with a huge vocabulary.
When at age 2, a speech therapist mentioned PDD-NOS, I began researching preemie/autism correlations via PubMed. Studies in Japan of NICU survivors…studies out of Italy of rat pups deprived of just a smidge of oxygen…and studies of kids who had horrible jaundice all showed prenatal & postnatal risks.
Preemie parent chat rooms also had an incredibly high role call of moms with kids on the spectrum. I bumped into parents of identical twins where the smaller twin (who presumably got less juice in utero) had full blown classic autism & the bigger twin had maybe a dusting of Aspergers
I have long thought that moms who have multiple children on the spectrum may have antibodies which are hyper alert to the fetus; less supple endometria or placentas; or trouble absorbing vitamins & nutrients; or undetected micro-clotting tendencies.
Autism is an obstetric and post-natal problem, and with today's moms being encouraged to go full-bore about their lives while pregnant, no wonder these pervasive developmental delays are more prevalent amongst our kids.
Good study!
Dear Noreen, Unfortunately, testosterone BINDS w/ heavy metals. Estrogen protects tissue from binding w/ heavy metals. Boys just have weaker systems when it comes to tolerating multiple vaccines+ adjuvants and toxic preservatives. When I read that yrs ago I felt sick, but its true.
Multiplex families are good but we need more research specifically on regression, adverse vaccination responses and singletons! A few yrs ago I compared some of Christian's blood, DNA values etc w/ dozens of AGRE samples. They could not have been more different! 2 other Moms of similar regressive singletons also got the same result. We were comparing apples to oranges- like comparing aspergers to autism- 2 completely different disorders.
Guess who results were nearly identical? All the regressive singletons! In families w/ more than I child w/ ASD the genetic cause is far stronger than w/ the majority of ASD cases, in which only 1 child is affected. Like many I stopped vaccinating my second son shortly after my first son's dx. After a rough start, just like his brother- colic, constant reflex, screaming all the time, my second son settled right down after I stopped the vaccines. He is fine today.
PS Aten – apergers probably has totally different origins- it is a disorder, not a disease. No one regresses in aspergers or loses all their language or becomes chronically ill. I would study aspergers specific research if I were you.
I have IDENTICAL twins, born in the same placenta ( I remember that specifically because they all comented on the fact that it was one placenta!) One of my twins has autism the other does not!! I have been trying to get them in studies many times with no responses. They are 10 years old and possibly hold many answers to many puzzeling questions! i would love for someone to study them!
I have two boys, a seven year old with autism and a two and a half year old with no signs of autism. Both pregnancies were almost identical with three exceptions.
1. With my oldest, we had a loss of oxygen scare during labor and I had morning sickness for 22 weeks. With my youngest, no scare and 40 weeks of morning sickness.
2. Both pregnancies I was on Zofran (ondansetron) for morning sickness.
3. My oldest was vaccinated, my youngest is NOT.
Now, I'm really curious……???
Environmental causes have always been what my heart has told me to be the reasoning behind the tremendous increase in autism. Naturally, the EPA has always assured us that our environment is perfectly safe, the movement for a cause has always been to look at genetics, the broadening of the diagnosis spectrum, immunizations, etc…One theorist even considered this to be an evolutionary event due to the techno-era.
It really doesn't matter if you call it autism or anything else, the fact is, we would have to call it something because our children are physiologically different from what we consider "normal" people.
Finally, we are seeing studies that are linking the environment to the spike in autism. The first correlation I learned about was the proximity to freeways which share a commonality. Frankly, I never thought I would see the day that anything else would surface.
I am so relieved to see this article!
