When asking rh negative people what type of research they are interested in, the question whether or not there is a connection between autism and a mother being rh negative pops up again and again. And why wouldn’t it?
The autism epidemic began a few years after Rho(D)-immune globulin was first approved. And when we look at the suggestions regarding what may be the causation, it needs to be noted that in countries where Rho(D)-immune globulin is being given after the birth of an rh positive infant by an rh negative mother, no significant increase in autism has been noted. In the US the shot is being administered during the pregnancy. Since the autism epidemic happened in the US, we want to examine if Thimerosal could have been a cause as it can enter the fetus due to being administered to the mother while pregnant.
Rho(D)-immune globulin used to contain Aluminum or Mercury and then Thimerosal which is 49.55% Mercury by weight. Thanks to major concerns and lawsuits, things have been changed. But the question remains why there was an autism epidemic to begin with.
Let’s look at the one study I could find that hasn’t been removed (yet):
BACKGROUND: Many formulations of Thimerosal (49.55% mercury by weight)- containing Rho(D) immune globulins (TCRs) were routinely administered to Rh-negative mothers in the US prior to 2002.
So it is now important to examine the data based on the time when Thimerosal was being administered and the data regarding rh negative frequencies in mothers of children affected AFTER that period.
OBJECTIVES: It was hypothesized: (1) if prenatal Rho(D)-immune globulin preparation exposure was a risk factor for neurodevelopmental disorders (NDs) then more children with NDs would have Rh-negative mothers compared to controls; and (2) if Thimerosal in the Rho(D)-immune globulin preparations was the ingredient associated with NDs, following the removal of Thimerosal from all manufactured Rho(D)-immune globulin preparations from 2002 in the US the frequency of maternal Rh-negativity among children with NDs should be similar to control populations.
This website is to examine scientific data. We are not interested in claims unless you can back them up. You also have to be aware that every fetus has different levels of sensitivity. So it is always possible that something can affect one fetus but not another. Let’s look at the results:
RESULTS: There were significant and comparable increases in maternal Rh-negativity among children with NDs (Clinic: A=24.2%), autism spectrum disorders (Clinic: A=28.3%, B=25.3%), and attention-deficit-disorder/attention-deficithyperactivity-disorder (Clinic: A=26.3%) observed at both clinics in comparison to both control groups (Clinic: A=12.1%, B=13.9%) employed. Children with NDs born post-2001 had a maternal Rh-negativity frequency (13.6%) similar to controls.
The conclusion:
CONCLUSION: This study associates TCR exposure with some NDs in children
They continue to explain it in simpler language:
DISCUSSION
In the present study, an examination of the relationship
between maternal Rh-negativity, Rho(D)-immune
globulins, and NDs was undertaken. It was observed
that Caucasian children examined with NDs born
from 1987 through 2001 were significantly more likely
to have Rh-negative mothers than Caucasian children
without NDs born from 1987 through 2001 that presented
for outpatient pediatric care or among a series
of Caucasian mothers that presented for outpatient prenatal
genetics care from 1980 through 1989. It was also
observed that Rh-negativity among Caucasian children
with NDs born after 2001 had a similar frequency of
Rh-negative mothers as controls.
And then:
It is clear from these data that additional ND research
should be undertaken in the context of evaluating mercury-associated
exposures, especially from Thimerosalcontaining
Rho(D)-immune globulins administered
during pregnancy. Further studies should also be
undertaken in additional databases/registries to assess
the compatibility of the present results with trends in
NDs in other US populations, and to observe whether
Thimerosal-containing Rho(D)-immune globulins
were associated with other birth defects in children.
In short:
Children born before 2001 with neurodevelopmental disorders, autism spectrum disorders and attention-deficit-disorder/attention-deficithyperactivity-disorder are much more likely to have rh negative mothers according to this study. After Thimerosal was discontinued in 2002, this no longer appears to be the case.
The highest number is from clinic A where 28.3% of those with Autism Spectrum Disorders have rh- mothers vs. a control group of 12.1%. That is 2.34 times higher than it should be.
Are you an rh negative mother of an autistic child? Share your experiences. Give some advice!
See the study:
Yes, my son born in 1973, is on the Autism spectrum and has ADHD.
After my 1st child was born in 1966 I was given the American made serum. After my second child was born in 1967 I was asked if by the hospital if I would take part in an RH- study – the Edinburgh ( Scotland) University had just completed their own serum and asked if they could give it to me and monitor me if I fell pregnant again which I conveniently did and had my third child in 1968. I was never told what findings the study found, but fortunately all of my three children were happy and healthy with no signs of autism. I wonder if the serum was changed in later years.
3 children, 1991, 1992, 1994; no autism.
One out of nine kids for my mom were Autistic Savant. One died from complications and one had Cerebral Palsy. That was different though. Rest were all Genius level high achievers, artistic and creative. Two sisters have had Auto Immune Disorders and this is a 3 generation Rh- d Negative Factor Family!
Our Y Chromosome DNA is Basque, Irish R1b though grandfather was 1st Generation Immigrant from Portugal and Grandmother from County Cork, Ireland. Other maternal grand parents were both off the same boat to Ellis Island from France!
I strongly believe that we are not to put everyone in the same basket. Some are resistant. From fetus age on. Others not so much. That is why research is important. Make changes as needed and evaluate the risks properly. It is a good thing that since 2002 the difference between rh negative frequencies of ND mothers and controls has been minimal. We also need to differentiate between high functioning and severely damaged.
This study mentions the need for other studies, but I am not aware of a follow-up one. So if any of you know of a good one, also advice for mothers with kids who have NDs, I would appreciate you bringing them to my attention.
This website is about finding solutions. And sharing them. Not to feel sorry for ourselves. So I hope nobody is getting the wrong impression.
Hi I am A- my son was born in 1997 has been diagnosed with ADHD and Aspergers syndrome. Not sure what blood type he is. He is my second child. My first born daughter who was born 1986 is fine!
Hi Mike, Edinburgh University appears to be one of the foremost in RH negative studies. I have just Googled some and while many are too advanced for my knowledge there are other’s that are interesting. I found mention of the trial I did in the 1960’s. I notice one of the main differences is that I was not pregnant when I received the serum each time but had just delivered, but now I believe they give it throughout the pregnancy. They also talk about a build up of sensitivity to the serum.
I thought you may find some of their findings interesting to your study
Sure. Link me to one if you like.
I am RH- and my daughter has ashbergers and she is A- My 2nd son was diagnosed with ADHD when he was a child and he is RH- also. My oldest son has identity dysphonia and is transgendering to female.He is also RH-.Their dad was A+. I have bipolar disorder so does my daughter and older son.
Is there any info about bipolar and RH-?
Hi Deborah
I am no expert with regard to RH Negative origins, however my opinion is based on 52 years of a very interesting life so far and a gleaning of much alternative knowledge which many refuse to believe is real.
Firstly, mainstream Western medicine diagnosis of some certain modern illnesses/diseases is debatable, but it helps to justify the existence of some fields of medicine and pharma industry. Human origins and chromosomal evidence (See Lloyd Pye – Wiki is disinfo against him) prove conclusively we do not evolve from apes. I am also Rh A- and have had a much higher sense of consciousness and desire for real knowledge as I grew older.
If your children had vaccines from day one then their health may have been compromised due to these and be nothing to do with their blood group. Believe nothing you can prove it for yourself, not even me.
I am an rhesus negative. And I feel it. When I met my husband, I soon new he was one too, and so he turned out to be. We still feel that we look alike and my first boyfriend with this deep connection to me, sensitivity and like me. We both have thefeeling of having been with strangers until we met.
Son with autism, but was born in 2003. Even though thimerosal wasn’t used anymore after 2002, people still had batches that were made with thimerosal, and those batches were used. I was told this by my son’s pediatrician.
I am on my 7th child and I am sensitized, I have not had rhogam in five years now and this will be my third child without. My first 4 children were sicker and sicker at birth and stop taking the shot because it was making me sick. I felt like if my body is already going to attack then I don’t want to take the shot because my immune system already sucks when pregnant. Asking about rhogam has gotten me threatened, lied to and doctors have tried to trick me into tests that insure that I have to take the shot with.
Refusing the shots has made the medical field treat me like I’m scum and after the lies are over I am dropped. My last 2 children are both positive and have been the only healthy babies I have had. I was sensitized with my 6th my placenta ripped and I asked for it (I just don’t want during pregnancy ) they said I was to sensitized for it. That was ok with that because I wasn’t planning on anymore and if I did my ex husband and I said we’d find a negative donor because he didn’t like the way I have been treated.
Dr.brown in Fresno said when he walked into the room 1. We won’t be arguing about my health and his treatment I will take rhogam because it’s medical law that he give it to me or I can sue him if my baby dies. 2. Rhogam is not for me but to make sure the baby doesn’t get sensitized ( positive babies don’t get sensitized because they carry the D ) 3. All my children could have gotten sick because I was breastfeeding and am a different blood type. Then the nurse comes in and says I am not sensitized and he’s like oh good now you have no concern and can take the shot at 28w like you are supposed to. I’m talked to the lady who asks about your birth history and she asked why I left kaiser. I told her that I didn’t like that they lied to me about the blood types of some of my children to make sure I got the shot. She said oh they have to lie to you if you want to refuse because it’s mandatory for all negative mom’s to receive it weather or not babies blood type. I’m not taking rhogam again and I don’t appreciate being abused like this over my decision. I know very well what my body can do at the worst. It’s ok for me to have an abortion with this possible positive child if I choose but it’s not ok to refuse and let my body possibly kill it? This doesn’t help my trust issues
I am one of the original receivers of British (UK) Anti-D which you all know as Rhogam injections in the USA. It was invented in the 1960s. My first five children were born in 1963, 1964, 1966, 1968, 1969. a late child in 1983. Pregnant women here were treated like children with no brains. Gynaecologists were gods, all nurses deferred to them as such. Those ‘Carry On’ movies in hospitals were a side swipe take on reality. We pregnant mum’s had no say, and l was never told at any time what these injections were for. Nor was l told they were about to be administered whenever they were. They were always given by my male Gynaecologist, not nurses. I had no idea other non Rhesus Negative mums never had these shots, or why l did. I was told, however, by my Gynaecologist who went on in later years to be knighted by the Queen. And also was one of the authors of the original abortion act UK. Because l’m allergic to all meds and vaccines, and had already had many NDEs through accidents and childhood illnesses (l was run over by a lorry, and in a nine month coma, aged seven, where l met God, but that’s another story, l’m the recipient of many NDEs many paranormal experiences, many witnessed by others, many miraculous interventions witnessed by medics and police) l am Rhesus D Neg Group A cde/cde the latter makes my Geno very rare, only1% in the UK. According to the British NHS website. I still carry my blood card. My children started ordinary vaccines in 1969 after my fifth baby was born when l was 24. They’d all had the Anti-D shots via my body inside my womb. I was never told it was risky, what it was for, all l was told was by my Gynaecologist. “You have a very unusual blood type, one not often met with, one we don’t fully understand!” My guess is, 55 years later, they still don’t, they’re farting in the wind, and still using nets to catch the farts. And we Rhesus Neg mum’s are the toys they play with. No one told me anything, l’ve had to do my own research starting with my own allergies and NDEs, and going through each pregnancy and birth to form a chain of events l could see related to the Anti-D shots. I realise whatever damage those jabs did to my young, happened in my womb. I knew my kids well, in every way, and l watched a faulty vaccine released in the UK in 1969 change and damage all my first five kids. I actually have a picture if my firstborn son that as l snapped the shutter l recall saying, “Steve, don’t do that, it makes you look Autistic!” He ‘froze framed’ in the stance that still, since 1969, makes him look autistic. He was seven. The faulty triple vaccine was released across the UK and NI and only just touched the south of my county, and we moved home after it, so they were never given the second faulty shots. They had another batch, just beyond the delivery oath if the faulty batch. It went to court, the company making the vaccine admitted liability (l wasn’t involved as back then, l’d no idea what l was seeing in my kids was true, and so never claimed as others did) l was just a soldier’s wife and housewife and mum, no one listened to kids like me back then. We were uneducated fools to career females. And silly little housewife’s to our men. Discussion on anything beyond our kitchen doors was way over our heads, in their minds and words. They really pushed us housewives down the list for brains, so never told us what was pumped into our bodies. I puzzled as to why they insisted on having our clinic cards returned after babies births, all rhesus negs that is. Now l realise it’s because we were guinea pigs all along, and if what l’m reading here is correct, the Anti-D was transmuting constantly, and they were covering their tracks for future problems, like the triple vaccine had created. I couldn’t see what it did to babies in my womb, lbdud see instant changes if the bad vaccine, different habits starting, didn’t expressions, different exiressions in their eyes, understanding if my words, and a decided change in all if them. Two had started ‘joggjng’ back and forth as they sat on the he sofa, one started sucking her thumb late, one stopped laughing, and more. I knew they were damaged by vaccine, l never knew they been damaged where they should have been safest of all, inside my body! It’s taken me a lifetime, to find answers. It would take a book to share. I’m angry with myself for not being able to stop the damage to my kids. I know that all have varying degrees of autism, l’m an expert in it, l taught my go about it, l diagnosed my ex and he was diagnosed with Asperger after our divorce by a panel of three psychologists at Oxford University UK a year later. “L owe you an apology, write about it Jeanette, you taught me about a condition l never knew existed. You taught me how to help people l had no answers for before.” I set up and ran four discussion forums, one was Asperger, the very first in the UK. I had permission personally from Bill Gates online, in 1998. We chatted online and he told me that he’d just been diagnosed Asperger too, and l was right about the things l said on It. He said he had forums opened in it in the USA and Australia, none in the UK, and permitted me to set up the first one. I did, ran it for three years, belief a lot if folk. There’s a big story there one day. But l’d hurt so bad in divorce, on my children being affected one by one, as the faulty vaccine kicked in at set stages in their lives and one by one, l lost them all to autism in varying degrees from teens to mid twenties. They have good lives, jobs, families, but they’re not then anymore, and it’s not explainable here inside a tiny bit, and l don’t intend to start. It hurts way too much, my heart is turn to shreds.lm lucky, God is in my corner, and He keeps me safe, and them, separate from me and each other, sadly, but with good lives. I taught them well to cope. There’s way more but l’m too hurt recalling to edit what I’ve written. Don’t kud yourself the guilt and pain ever goes away when you realise you were complicit in damage done inside your womb, to your precious babies, by merely believing they did know best for you, when all if it was guesswork, and now they’re covering their tracks. The EU admits they got it wrong, that Anti-D causes Autism in the babies, so they stopped administering it. But UK and USA won’t because they’re covering their tracks. That company released that bad vaccine in 1969 were Syed, paid massive damages, changed their name, and carried in, they are The Welcome Trust, and they are the UK Governments advisors in vaccines. You couldn’t make it up. They just carry in, carrying in, despite damage done. Apol’s for typos. I have rheumatoid arthritis and Osteoarthritis throughout my body and am allergic all meds and vaccines lifelong. I should never have received it, but no one told me about my allergies back then. I just kept having NDEs and had to learn it for myself. I also had .massive blood transfusion in 1977 when l lost a baby biy at five months. I had nine pints if blood and plasma before l went to theatre as l was bleeding to death at his birth, they could risk surgery at once until they slowed it down, and were pumping it in my arm, as it came out in clots from my womb as big as grapefruits. I developed septicemia in 1981 after major surgery for suspected ovarian cancer. And had miraculous life saving intervention. My list of NDEs is very long. As long as Gods amazing divine intervention that brought me safely through them all. I need to also add that my last born child in 1983 suddenly reacted badly to the more advanced triple vaccines, and nearly died, long story, l saved his life, doctor in my home panicked. Thank God l’m Red Cross and St John trained since aged 15 in 1960. I’ve saved a few lives due to those two weekly training sessions. I just never expected another NDE over vaccines when my first five had grown up. My battery is facing on this phone, l must submit, typos and all.
I wish to add to this that somewhere, l must look it out, l have an appointment anti-natal card l was supposed to hand back in after my last birth in 1983, as those were the rules in my conception era. But l had one of my prophetic flashes and my psyche asked why? What was on them that meant nothing to me as a non gynecologist, but that they, the medics, needed to keep private. It’s merely the record of the contents of the Anti-D shots they pumped into my pregnant body during pregnancy. Now, it does look as though there is some debate on just what was in those shots, so, l really will dig it out again. And compare it to modern data if l can.
I’d like to email a copy of it, and my blood bank card showing my rare Geno cde/cde to you at your email address, because you queried it’s existence initially, so if you send it to me, your personal email, l’ll send it on Mike, but l can’t publish private details here. My address is on them. Remember too, l’ve had 55 home moves due to an alcoholic late husband, and an Asperger husband across my lengthy life, so, l’ve had to cross out and replace addresses by the score by hand and the card is literally falling apart, but, the necessary data is intact. It was provided to me by our National Blood Bank and l was told to carry it for life in 1983, it replaced the worn out one they gave to me in 1962. They ceased replacements years ago, so, it’s a tatty sorry mess. But the data needed us as clear as day. Cheers. JJ
