Document Summary
Children raised in _orphanages_ have post-institutional autistic syndrome. 42% of children with autism had a _clinically_ significant improvement. >= 5point improvement on the childhood autism rating scale. Effective at all levels of initial symptom _severity_ Standard care only improves the red ones below. Measles virus was found in the gut of autism patients and not in other children. It was proposed that the measles virus could injure the gut and allow the release of toxins into the brain. Mmr vaccine introduction was not accompanied by a rise in autism. Vaccinated and unvaccinated children have the same probability of autism. An mmr booster shot was added several years after its initial introduction, but no increase in autism was seen. No increase in autism in those who have measles. The report of measles virus in the gut of autism patients was false. As the number of vaccines for children has increased, the number of autism cases has increased.
