Last year the AutismOne parent convention hosted a talk by someone promoting MMS as a treatment for autism. MMS is a bleach. But MMS supporters and defenders rush to discussions of MMS with claims that it is not a bleach and calling it a bleach is fear mongering.
Only, it is a bleach. As in, apply it to cloth and the color goes away. Don’t believe me? Check out MMS: Yes, It Is Bleach, an article by Emily Willingham at The Thinking Person’s Guide to Autism.

I happened to run across this study from last year: Maternal Influenza A(H1N1) Immunization During Pregnancy and Risk for Autism Spectrum Disorder in Offspring : A Cohort Study and thought it worth highlighting. The anti-vaccine movement has been good at moving goalposts and one of their lines in recent years has been that vaccines are […]
I am very fortunate that my state classified parents of high risk disabled kids (young adults, in my case) as “health care workers” and granted us access to the COVID-19 vaccine. 4 weeks ago I got dose one, and today I got dose 2. As a short PSA–nurses like food and nothing stops you from […]
California is opening access to COVID vaccines to more people. As part of this they have issued “Updated COVID-19 Vaccine Allocation Guidelines” which includes guidance on vaccines for people with developmental disabilities. Access will start March 15. Individuals must be 16 years or older, and meet these requirements: 1) The individual is likely to develop […]
California Department of Developmental Services (CDDS or California DDS) has deemed that “family members of certain people are “health care workers” and are “prioritized for COVID-19 vaccination”. In this letter, COVID-19 Vaccine Phase 1A Letter for Family Members, Nancy Bargman, Director at Cal DDS, states: The purpose of this letter is to clarify that family […]
15 years ago I went online to find out information about autism. Like many parents, I didn’t know much before my kid was diagnosed. And like many parents, I’m still learning. With the rise of the internet and, later, social media, advocacy by and for autistic people was increasing. It wasn’t new (for example, Jim […]
Of course it is bleach. Only someone with a financial interest in the chemical or someone who is too deluded to really function well in society would subject their child to the kind of abuse the MMS gang advocate.
This smacks of the idea that autism is worse than anything up to and including child abuse and therefore any attempt to ‘cure’ it is tolerable, even preferable to loving the child you have. Heinous.
If a parent gave a child poison in juice, milk or water orally, or enemas of that same poison, they would be put in jail for child abuse. Why are parents who give this stuff to their autistic children not going to jail, or at the very least losing custody of their children? Do autistic children really have that low of a value in the eyes of the general population and/or government and law enforcement officials? I don’t get this, really I don’t!
Sadly I’ve wondered the same thing. While I know that parents who subject their children to this abuse try to keep it hidden, it’s still being discussed in open forums and touted publically at places like AutismOne. This is not some dirty little secret, just dirty. I wonder since the resources for caring for abused “neurotypical” children are stretched so thin that it is easier to look the other way when it comes to special needs children. Something else to consider which also makes my stomach churn is that the AAP and by extension the AMA along with state medical boards are doing nothing to sanction their own physicians who enable the systematic abuse of these children.

Indeed, and many other other professional associations.
