Study Shows Abusive Parenting Causes Cancer & Autism

A new study has been released that shows that increases in autism rates are linked to abusive parenting. While this has been theorized in the past, this connection has now been analyzed using worldwide data. Researchers have identified three specific change points in which the incidence of autism rose significantly in the U.S., as well as points in other countries. Each of these points corresponds to the times that a parent was forced to have an unwanted pregnancy due to lack of abortion services.

The study was published in September, and was designed to analyze whether or not the environmental factor of the abusive parenting could be connected with the rise in autism. According to Health News, they found that the two were directly related, and that there was no other factor that could account for the jump in autism rates. The study is the first of its kind to examine the relationship between autism and abusive parenting.

An earlier study by the EPA confirmed one of the change points. In 1988, there was a large increase in autistic disorder rates, reports Life Stuff News. Though that 2010 study did not speculate on a cause, a research group, pointed out that the 1988 change point corresponded to the time that a abortion rights were restricted under the Reagan administration.

The most recent study identifies three specific change points in the U.S. between 1970 and 2002. The first was in late 1980, following the election of Ronald Reagan. The period following was the first time that there was widespread limitations on abortion resources in the United States. By the next year, after Reagan’s inauguration, there was a dramatic increase in autism.

Earlier researchers theorized that the Republican party was that dangerous. Later, deregulation, causing unsafe work environments and parental injuries became the focus of attention.

The United Kingdom experienced a drastic increase in their autism rates in 1988-1989, after the implementation of policies under Margaret Thatcher, which caused many parents in the United Kingdom to lose their jobs, lose economic security, and concentrated wealth among the rich British elites. It is speculated that the economic policies caused anger and resentment in parental homes within the United Kingdom, and an increase in domestic violence ensued.

That same year saw the second change point for the U.S., which corresponds to the election of George Bush Sr, who floundered the economy even further.

In Western Australia, their dramatic change point in autism rates occurred in 1990, after the recession in that country, and a rise in domestic abuse claims as well.

“Infants and children are almost universally exposed to these violent home lives, and these converging events are associated with rising autistic disorder in a interdependent society due to the increasing numbers of conservative policies which have been added to the US public policy.”

One researcher commented, “Not only are the abusive parenting practices associated with autistic disorder throughout the world, but also with epidemic childhood leukemia and lymphomas.”
