Parents,

 

Sunday, February 23, 2003, I was home in the early afternoon with my

son, Eric. My wife, Helen and my 14 year-old daughter,

Julie were off at a play performance a mile away from home. For those

that do not know, Eric is 6 feet tall and weighs approximately 150-160

pounds and is 18 years old. He is very muscular. I'm 5'10 " , 220 pounds

and 58 years old.

 

Eric was eating when he started to have a tantrum. I had to run in one

of the rooms and lock the door until Eric calmed down.

Usually it works but this day it didn't. Eric started to kick, head

butt, scratch and bite. I couldn't get into the bathroom door to lock it

so I ran to the front door. Eric followed me where he head butted me and

pulled my hair.

 

I then ran outside across the street to get help from my neighbor. Eric

followed me. When I got to the front door of my neighbor, Eric bit me

left hand and had two of my fingers in his mouth clamping down with his

teeth (the index finger next to my thumb and the finger next to that). I

was in extreme pain and with my right hand worked Eric's teeth off of my

left hand. If I hadn't done it sooner, I would have lost the two fingers

because the one finger was bitten so severely that the nail was hanging

off. I rang the doorbell and my neighbor came out and helped me with his

wife and a young girlfriend of their son. Another neighbor came and

helped with Eric. I was treated for my head scrape, my nose bleed and

wounds on my hand (that I later found out were more severe). The police

were called (two came) and my wife and daughter were called. The

Emergency Squad came and took me to the Emergency Room at the local

hospital.

 

At the hospital, there were X-rays taken and they found that my left

index finger (one next to the thumb) had the tip of the bone amputated

from the rest of my finger. Eric had actually bitten through the bone of

my hand. A hand surgeon was in the area and he came by and after my

wounds were cleaned and my finger soaked in an antibiotic solution, it

was stitched up with the finger nail put back in the correct position.

It was bandaged up along with my other finger on the end that had been

badly bitten.

I received antibiotics and pain killers and are taking them now

.....Augmentin and Oxycodone w/Apap respectively.

 

This isn't the first time Eric has attacked me, Helen and Julie and it

was mentioned at the December 10, 2002 hearing

in Washington DC conducted by Congressman Dan Burton.

(see http://www.autismautoimmunityproject.org/120302_hearing.html)

Congressman Burton mentioned that his grandson could eventually be 6'10 "

and ask the people at the hearing what would happen when all these

children grow up and have these behaviors.

 

I have been fighting since 1995 regarding the MMR vaccine link to

autism. In 1998, our organization, The Autism

Autoimmunity Project was founded and to date we have raised a bit over

$120,000.00 for research. In talking to

Dr. Vijendra Singh of the Utah State University (who has been funded for

his research into the autoimmune link to autism)

he knows that we could be treating these children with various

immunotherapies but unfortunately the money is not there.

We could do a lot more for the children with autism but most of the

millions of dollars of research funds are spent on genetic and drug

studies.....and very little on the immune and gastrointestinal research

unless it is by small organizations like ours.

 

It is a shame because in 5, 10 and 15 years, there will be more families

that will have the same thing happen to them. Will the children attack a

family member, someone at school or a stranger? These children will grow

up to be large, healthy adults.....what will happen then? I'm facing the

situation now where I'm racing against time to get my son better through

homeopathic treatment. My son regressed into autism after the MMR

vaccine in 1986 (at one year, three months old) and in 1993-1994, his

behaviors got worse because of three hepatitis B shots he got with

thimerosal in them. By looking at the pediatrician's notes that we

recently got and a record of the vaccines Eric got, an MD could see the

connection as could me and my wife.

 

What will happen over the next 5, 10 and 15 years? Will we get the

treatments or will we face a bleak landscape of children growing into

adults and not being helped? Our family has to face the prospect that if

we can't help Eric, he will be sent to an institution where he will

surely die.
