(Dr. Toby Rogers, Ph.D.) For the last several decades, the official autism narrative was that “autism is genetic, a GIFT, and anyone who says otherwise is a NUTTER who must be banned from polite society.”
The mainstream media pounded this message into the public consciousness every chance they got, and this narrative was enforced through censorship and blacklisting of anyone who proposed other theories of the case.
Then this past weekend, a curious thing happened. On Oct. 18, The New York Times published “A Furious Debate Over Autism’s Causes Leaves Parents Grasping for Answers.”

The story follows two families dealing with autism, interspersed with quotes from various mainstream autism “experts.”
It conforms to the standard paint-by-numbers script — “autism a mystery; it couldn’t possibly be caused by vaccines, Tylenol, or food dyes; Robert Kennedy, Jr. is terrible;” etc.
And then, out of nowhere, the Times reporters (Gina Kolata and Azeen Ghorayshi) demolished the official genetic narrative:
“But genetic mutations still only explain about 30 percent of cases, typically those with the most severe forms of the disorder.”
So, not 100%, not half, not even a third of autism cases are genetic. That’s a MASSIVE paradigm shift. Next:
“Dr. Audrey Brumback, a pediatric neurologist at the University of Texas at Austin, said she offers genetic testing to most of the patients she diagnoses with autism even though, as she cautions the parents, a relevant genetic mutation will be found in only one out of four cases.”
One out of four is 25%, so they’re already backing away from the 30% claim. And THEN:
“A landmark publication in 2007 showed that children with autism were much more likely to have so-called de novo mutations, spontaneous mutations that were not present in their mother’s or father’s genome.”
Oh, so these children are NOT inheriting these genes from their parents (heritability is always what’s been implied by the multibillion-dollar search for the mythical “genes for autism”). Instead, these are de novo genetic mutations that are only found in the child with autism.
