Are Obese Moms More Likely to Have Kids with Autism Spectrum Disorder?      Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is an early neurodevelopmental disorder marked by impairments in social communication and the presence of restricted interests and repetitive behaviors. Approximately 1 in 52 children in the United States has been diagnosed with ASD. With a diagnosis of ASD being four times more likely to occur in boys. In 2000, only 1 in 150 children in the U.S. was diagnosed with ASD. This number rose to 1 in 125 in 2004, to 1 in 88 in 2008, 1 in 69 in 2012, and 1 in 54 in 2016 ( Data. , 2020).  These numbers can also be contrasted with data from the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2021 reporting 1 in 160 children have a diagnosis of ASD globally ( Autism. , 2021).

What is Morgellons?

Image
People with this disorder find spirals and specks of metal under their skin. It causes them great discomfort to the point they will dig and pick for hours to remove a fiber barely visible zoomed in photographed.  They think there are also animal parts or insect pieces inside of them broken down and coming to the surface of the skin.  This disorder used to be thought of as a delusional parasite. Medical researchers now know that people with Morgellons are commonly  afflicted with a virus similar to Lymes diseases or tick borne illness .  Have you ever had a loved one suffer from Morgellons? How do you think you’d react if a loved one came down with a disorder like this that is uncommon? It seems like one of the most terrifying diseases a person could get and deeply traumatic to have such an unusual disorder.

Amendment Passed by House of Representatives to Protect UFO Whistleblowers

If you told someone you saw an unidentified flying object (UFOS) or what appeared to be an alien spacecraft, what kind of reaction do you think you’d get?  This is something that people who encounter UFOS are concerned about. Nobody wants to be the person suspected of having one too many drinks or being crazy and a bit off kilter.  That is why Rep. Mike Gallagher, R-WIS, co-authored a bill to add an amendment to the National Authorization Act protecting government officials and servicemen from discipline or repercussions if they report UFO sightings. This amendment was passed in the House of Representatives yesterday, Wednesday, July 13th, 2022.  Some people think there is a secret motive for passing this amendment to the National Authorization Act. They say that elected officials are not concerned that there might be aliens or learning more about UFOs. Instead, they think they are concerned that these UFOs are foreign military spy technologies .
