Vaccines and Autism: [Vaccines Do NOT Cause It] · Aspergers & Autism Podcast [The Aspie World] AuDHD

• 0:00
  So vaccines don't cause autism and the dvla did a u-turn on
• 0:04
  their driving policy on their website all that's coming up
• 0:07
  right here. Hey guys, welcome back to the
• 0:13
  afterworld. Okay guys.
• 0:15
  So basically there's this huge controversy that has backed up
• 0:18
  from something called the anti-vaccine movement where a
• 0:21
  lot of people saying that vaccines cause autism and one
• 0:25
  guy in Italy successfully. Sue the Italian government for
• 0:27
  this and then also there's a guy called Andrew Wakefield did a
• 0:30
  lot of research on it apparently and then he said that there
• 0:33
  could have been a possibly a link between Autism and
• 0:35
  vaccines. So a bunch of people were scared
• 0:38
  crapless and then decided to not vaccinate their kids and there's
• 0:41
  been like a measles. Outbreak in America, which is
• 0:43
  crazy because people are not being at the vaccines.
• 0:46
  It's just it's just nuts, but on the contrary to that there's a
• 0:49
  steady that's just been released which has been going for the
• 0:52
  past 10 years. So these are this is what it is
• 0:54
  Danish researchers followed 6,000 cases of autism among half
• 0:59
  a million children in Denmark population registry over 10
• 1:02
  years to find out there's no link between Autism and vaccines
• 1:06
  vaccines for measles mumps and rubella.
• 1:08
  They published they published their findings in the journal.
• 1:12
  Analysis of internal medicine and the research intends to
• 1:17
  quell fears of vaccines increasingly being shared on
• 1:20
  social media because obviously it was saying about the other
• 1:22
  thing. So basically that is the
• 1:25
  consensus that loads of people said Fraser that the MMR
• 1:28
  vaccination and there's a whole movie or out of the body called
• 1:30
  like vast where they interview people were they saying that the
• 1:33
  kids are the MMR vaccination and then they get really hot and sat
• 1:36
  in their head and all kinds of stuff and they blamed that that
• 1:39
  was the cause for the developmental condition of or
• 1:42
  And what in fact autism is said to be development or and Gene
• 1:47
  specific so that it's hereditary that you actually get it through
• 1:50
  genes rather than something like an environmental Factor.
• 1:53
  Now this is all well and good but there are still people in
• 1:56
  America including Donald Trump who tweeted about anti-vaccine
• 2:02
  propaganda and rubbish about it being caused by vaccines and
• 2:06
  this is crazy and it's actually scared me because if you're
• 2:08
  going to say that autism is caused by vaccines and you don't
• 2:12
  start vaccinating yourself. We're gonna come up with a bunch
• 2:15
  load of issues like the measles outbreak in America and and
• 2:20
  mumps and they are going to become more and more and like
• 2:22
  rubella and things that we don't really want and if you're going
• 2:24
  to be scared again EMR vaccination, there's nothing
• 2:27
  stuff when you saying other stuff like the Earth is flat and
• 2:30
  that we are going to have to not take any medication ever again
• 2:33
  to solve our illnesses. So that being said, I'm glad
• 2:37
  that the Danish people have researched and published their
• 2:39
  research. That is awesome.
• 2:40
  So big kudos to And okay guys. So next one the normally I have
• 2:45
  four or five stories in this show.
• 2:46
  But today it was the focus on two stories because these two
• 2:49
  stories are very very good them album is crazy very interesting.
• 2:54
  Now, the second one is about driving in the UK and being
• 2:57
  autistic. So basically the dvla which is
• 3:01
  the governing body responsible for all kind of like driving
• 3:04
  needs like you go to the dvla to get your driving license you get
• 3:07
  your license plates change with the dvla all that kind of stuff
• 3:10
  is done through this governing body called the Vla now they
• 3:13
  have regulations on the site. So say that you have epilepsy.
• 3:16
  They say that you they stick it on the website that you have to
• 3:19
  fill out a form and send it in to them with your doctor's kind
• 3:21
  of consent and stuff like that talking about your condition in
• 3:24
  case it impact your ability to drive which could impact your
• 3:26
  insurance. If you get into a collision,
• 3:28
  unfortunately now all this is well and good and we understand
• 3:31
  that an autistic individual recently in the past week went
• 3:35
  on to the dvla website to look at rules and regulations along
• 3:39
  driving terms, and they noticed that Dvla, actually said that
• 3:43
  anybody with an Autism Spectrum condition must tell the dvla
• 3:47
  that they have the condition or else they could face up to a
• 3:50
  thousand pound fine for not telling them.
• 3:53
  Now this sent shockwaves across the community.
• 3:55
  Everybody was talking about it. I published a video on it a
• 3:57
  bunch of my friends publish the video on it every was blogging
• 3:59
  about it the national autistic Society stepped in to intervene
• 4:03
  and actually said to the dvla look you can't say this because
• 4:06
  let's put it this way if someone has passed their test and they
• 4:09
  have autism they have had a Government dvla registered
• 4:13
  tester testing their ability to drive and they get the test at
• 4:17
  the end of it. They passed which means that
• 4:18
  they are able to drive and there should be no issues.
• 4:20
  So why is the dvla saying you need to go back and actually
• 4:24
  tell us that you have an Autism Spectrum condition when in
• 4:26
  actual fact you passed having the conditions, there's no need
• 4:29
  to be informed about if you get what I'm saying.
• 4:30
  Now this happened on Monday where the National Society
• 4:35
  published a response to the dvla saying that they needed to sort
• 4:39
  that out. It wasn't fair on the kid who
• 4:41
  are trying to drive. When they go autism and the
• 4:42
  scared now because a lot of people were put off by this in
• 4:45
  the autism Community kind of felt like they were going to get
• 4:47
  sued or find or you know, some other kind of awful barbaric,
• 4:51
  you know consequence for not actually telling the dvla that
• 4:54
  they have an Autism Spectrum condition, even though they
• 4:57
  already passed their test also on the contrary to that people
• 5:01
  who have not passed their test would have been put off because
• 5:04
  they said that they felt this could bring things in like an
• 5:07
  aspie tax where the government would say.
• 5:10
  Oh, well if you've got autism you have To have more on your
• 5:12
  you know, your insurance will cost more because there's more
• 5:15
  premium because there's more risk of you.
• 5:16
  I don't having any kind of collision, you know, there's a
• 5:18
  whole host of things and also then they felt like by, you know
• 5:23
  reporting to the dvla that they have autism they felt like it
• 5:27
  was a bit too much big brother and that they didn't want them
• 5:29
  knowing their personal stuff because you know, a lot of
• 5:31
  people feel like it impacts their professional life and
• 5:33
  personal life if they disclose that they have an Autism
• 5:35
  Spectrum condition and they want to keep that private which is
• 5:38
  absolutely fine. So a bunch of people reached out
• 5:40
  to me and said are you know, I don't even want to learn to
• 5:41
  drive. Anymore because if this is the
• 5:43
  kind of way, they're going to treat as and I'd rather be off
• 5:45
  the Record and just take like public transport something which
• 5:47
  is crazy, you know because driving give somebody
• 5:49
  Independence. So anyway, that was Monday every
• 5:52
  made a big stink about it. I released a video on it and
• 5:54
  I'll try link it below so you guys can go check it out.
• 5:56
  If you're interested in seeing that video and everybody like
• 5:59
  just just yeah, it's just crazy like everyone freaked out but
• 6:02
  that being said something very interesting happened then on
• 6:05
  Tuesday afternoon after my video, I'd had other we couple
• 6:08
  of thousand views. My laundry will start comments
• 6:10
  on my video saying Hey the Dvla of changed it so they went back
• 6:14
  and they actually what must have happened is that the dvla had
• 6:17
  gone back in realize the pressure from the community and
• 6:19
  The National Society will put them to explain themselves.
• 6:22
  They then decided that they were going to retract what they said
• 6:25
  and now they stipulate that you only have to tell the dvla.
• 6:29
  If you have an Autism Spectrum condition if that condition
• 6:33
  impacts your ability to drive just like if you had in a you
• 6:38
  know, you're an amputee does that amputation?
• 6:42
  Your ability to drive some cases.
• 6:43
  It does some cases. It doesn't depend if you've got
• 6:45
  modified car or not, you know that kind of thing so they have
• 6:47
  to explain those on them. So now the dvla of gone back and
• 6:51
  what they were saying and in actual fact the dvla stated
• 6:54
  first of all that the statement had been up for like seven years
• 6:57
  and nobody said anything about it and it's been that way
• 6:59
  forever, even though nobody had seen it and the change.
• 7:02
  It happened almost overnight and they didn't consult with anybody
• 7:05
  first. So then they flipped it back and
• 7:07
  now it's just that you only have to tell them if you have a
• 7:10
  condition that does impact your ability to To drive now.
• 7:13
  This is a victory win for us in the autism Community to say that
• 7:16
  you know by campaigning and by voicing your opinion you do get
• 7:19
  her done changes can be made which is amazing.
• 7:22
  But this doesn't this shouldn't allow us to just passively let
• 7:25
  things like legislation like that impact the lives of people
• 7:28
  who have a condition. So we should all be trying to
• 7:30
  validate when the government try and and slide in your
• 7:34
  regulations or try to suppress something things like this are
• 7:38
  going to crop up from time to time, but it's time that we kind
• 7:40
  of come together. And a happens I'm campaign for
• 7:43
  it because campaign is definitely the only way to get
• 7:45
  over these things and overcome issues and boundaries and all
• 7:49
  kinds of horrible things that the government may try and do
• 7:51
  but I'm not like a crazy person. I'm just saying that you know,
• 7:54
  these things can happen and the government are always right in
• 7:57
  the case of our current government spruce.
