Yes, it’s still World Autism Awareness Day, and the hits just keep on coming. Back at CNN …

Sperm donor linked to autism. CNN picks up the ‘Donor X’ story that ran earlier in ‘O’ Magazine. When Fordham University professor Gwenyth Jackaway’s son Dylan started showing signs of autism, she tracked down his sperm donor. Jackaway found out that ‘Donor X’ had also fathered other children with autism. Scientists say they do not yet have methods for screening sperm for genes that cause autism.

Celebrity author and former playmate Jenny McCarthy and actor Jim Carrey have posted a column on the CNN site saying that vaccines play a “major role” in causing autism among children. They say McCarthy’s son Evan has “recovered” from autism thanks to a gluten-free, casein-free diet, vitamin supplements and “detox of metals and anti-fungals for yeast overgrowth…”

We wish to state, very clearly, that we are not against all vaccines, but we do believe there is strong evidence to suggest that some of the ingredients may be hazardous and that our children are being given too many, too soon!
