When Thalydimide (?) produced children with flippers, it was forever banned. So, today we have vaccines causing these severely damaged children and nothing is being done. I suppose the drug companies removed the mercury stabilizers. I am not sure, but I know they have never admitted any causal relation.
I have worked with MR clients in group homes, and I can say with certainty that they have no quality of life whatsoever. They have minimal contact with family members. They enjoy almost nothing. They are pumped full of drugs and are constantly sick. They make all the workers very sick, yet the workers have no health care, only the clients. I was outraged by what I witnessed in the MR group homes. These clients were severely retarded and uneducable. They were heavily medicated in every way. I see the autistics as being similar. Families cannot deal with them and are torn apart. Their care is given to minimum wage workers who have nothing, not even health care. The only winners in this situation are the directors who receive tons of state money to operate the homes and daycare facilities that they call school. When that state money is gone, the directors will be gone as well. Then, we will have to do what we should have always done with basket cases: euthanize them. It may sound harsh to some, but those are the very people who have never dealt with the MR or autistic. You have no idea how violent these people can become when their meds aren't working. You are not the ones at risk from being around them.
