Causes of ADHD / ASD – Attention Deficit Disorder

To understand the history of this disease, you need to know that when a child is born in any city, big or small, they are given various vaccinations. Today, I will tell you how vaccines play a significant role in making a child autistic or ADHD. In addition, another factor is involved that amplifies the effect of vaccines, and that is the antipyretic, antibiotic, or antiviral medications given to children in their childhood.

Furthermore, stimulants can be considered the third major cause, which you can easily observe. For example, the chemicals found in today’s fast food also play a significant role in triggering the disease. These factors certainly make a child normal behaviour abnormal.

Then comes the fourth factor: animal protein and gluten. The gluten found in wheat also largely triggers autoimmune responses in children. This triggering becomes even more aggressive, and the symptoms of their disease become clearly visible.

After that, the fifth factor is electromagnetic fields or electromagnetic radiation. Children today have been exposed to more electromagnetic radiation in the last ten years than ever before in human history. You won’t find anyone who isn’t completely engrossed in their mobile phone.

A person constantly stares at the mobile screen, and the radiation emitted from the mobile phone constantly interferes with their body. We’ll learn more about this later.

If any child is affected by these five things, then of course he cannot remain normal, he will definitely develop neurodevelopmental disorder, autoimmune reaction and he will be surrounded by many types of diseases.

▶ Parts of Module-1

Part 1: Identification and prevalence of symptoms

Part-2: Vaccine

Part-3: Medicines

Part 4: Stimulants in Food

Part-5: Conclusion

The first module will be discussed in five parts. The first section will focus on identifying the symptoms of autism and ADHD. Then, it will discuss the vaccines that are closely linked to these disorders.

In addition, medications that cause the disorder, vaccines, and medications, and other stimulants that trigger the disorder, and finally, the outcome of these symptoms, will be discussed.

Part-1

Identification and prevalence of symptoms

▶ identifying a child with autism/ADHD disorder

First of all, we will learn how to identify whether a child is suffering from autism or ADHD. ADHD means attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. He will not be able to concentrate on anything. If someone talks to that child, he will not listen. Such a child cannot sit at one place. Hyperactivity means that he is so restless and restless that he jumps around like a monkey. You will say that all children are restless, what is different in this? But a stage comes when a child’s restlessness starts becoming a problem for others. Then you can say that he is suffering from ADHD.

Any child can be playful and mischievous by nature, and even a child can be a little slow to understand. It’s not that every child responds immediately after hearing what’s said. However, sometimes when this tendency becomes excessive and the behaviour becomes inappropriate for a social setting, such a child needs to be closely monitored. Those who care for them know that if they go anywhere alone, they can create problems for themselves and others.

Readers may have some difficulty understanding this, as autism and ADHD are often referred to as distinct neurodevelopmental disorders. They share some similarities and differences, but they share a common principle: they are both treatable, which is the core theme of our book.

I’ll try to explain their symptoms and identification in a simple way. We’ll also discuss their diagnosis and prevalence We will learn about its prevalence and see how many such children are there in the world and the country.

▶ Autism spectrum disorder

Let’s talk about the diagnosis first. ‘Autism Spectrum Disorder,’ it used to be called a disease. But now it’s called a disorder. It’s not considered a disease. First, we need to understand the spectrum within autism spectrum disorder. Let’s say a child is a bit of a freak. Now, they could be any category of freak—a little freak, a bit of a freak, a lot of freaks, a lot of freaks, or a lot of freaks. As you read these words, a picture might be forming in your mind. Which child is the most freak in your memory?

If you ask me, I think of two mischievous brothers, home alone, their parents out, throwing sharp objects at each other, unconcerned about the injury or even the potential for life-threatening injuries. Mischievous children who would throw household items out of the house if they didn’t get the food they wanted. So, how do you accurately classify a child as mischievous? This is an abstract topic.

Similarly, autism can also have many different categories, which is why it was named autism spectrum disorder. Basically, children with autism have a lack of social communication. If they talk to you, if they do, they won’t look you in the eye. They won’t respond to you, and even if they do, their face will be turned away from you. They might repeat what you asked instead of answering. For example, if you ask, “How are you?” you’ll hear the answer, “How are you?” You tell them your name, and they repeat it back. This is called repetitive behaviour. Instead of answering you, they repeat what you said.

Their behaviour can also be restrictive. Such a child may remain sedentary and appear to be doing the same thing over and over again, which can be a bit strange.

Similarly, a child with ADHD will not pay attention to you. They will act as if they haven’t heard what their friend, parent, or teacher is saying, and will remain absorbed in their own world.

He’ll be hyperactive, meaning if he’s in class, he’ll pick up someone’s pen or pencil and throw it away. No one can tell when he’ll start talking or when he’ll get up and leave.

You can think of a child with ADHD as a rabbit who can’t sit still, and a child with autism as a tortoise who doesn’t want to socialize. He’s immersed in his solitude. In both cases, these children don’t have friends. Especially with autism, making friends is out of the question.

Now we’ll discuss the focus of both types of children. Autistic children have a non-narrow focus, meaning something that might seem trivial to you could be so special to them that they’ll spend hours with it. They might stare at a toy for hours, or they might be engaged in a game of turning a switch on and off, or they might simply enjoy opening or closing a door.

A child with ADHD, on the other hand, is a little different. They are easily distracted and can be distracted by anything, even for no apparent reason. Social interaction is completely absent. When you meet a child, you expect them to behave like a normal child: listen to you, shake your hand, answer your questions, and smile. All of this happens to them It’s impossible. That child is so impatient that he might start talking before you’ve finished.

Additionally, he doesn’t speak very often. If you expect a three-year-old to speak as much as a typical child this age, it won’t. He may not even speak a complete sentence or may only speak two or three words. He may have a delayed speech, meaning he starts talking late.

It’s also possible that their expressions don’t match their tone. For example, they may not know how to speak when angry or what their tone should be when happy. They won’t express their emotions properly, and the other person won’t be able to understand them properly. You might think your child is emotionless? They have no emotions at all.

He may not be able to make you understand what he’s saying or he may repeat what you’re saying. This behaviour can be irritating to the average person. He may interrupt you and start talking.

While these symptoms are common in other young children, they often ignore your words and start talking before you’ve even finished your sentence, when this behaviour becomes excessive and reoccurs repeatedly, the child is diagnosed with ADHD.

Children with autism can experience such emotional changes that if you change their routine, their place of residence, or prevent them from doing their favourite activities, they may suddenly shut down, meaning they become completely silent. They may suddenly cry loudly or start screaming. They love their routine very much. They may also behave this way if a new person comes to their home or they are taken somewhere else. Similarly, by combining other symptoms, it is determined that this child has autism.

While a child with ADHD may overreact and become overly emotional, their emotions can often be unpredictable. This way, you can tell the difference between the two disorders.

One thing I’ve noticed about children with autism is that they may not know some of the things that normal child their age does, like opening doors, you just need to open a key or set the time on a watch, but children with autism are incredibly adept at calculations. They can easily tell you the date of any day without even knowing how. From this perspective, you might think the child is a genius, even though they can’t even perform many simple tasks that other children can easily accomplish.

Children with ADHD have attention deficit and hyperactivity, so they can’t keep things in place or take care of themselves. Even the slightest sound or light can distract them.

You have to remember that these things can apply to any normal person or child as well, but when this behaviour becomes excessive and other symptoms also start appearing along with it, then we can recognize the disorder.

Children with ADHD can’t sit still, so they can’t pursue hobbies. Learning anything new requires concentration and concentration, both of which are difficult for them. They can’t focus on anything. This is why they’re called attention deficit hyperactive. If you’re confused about the symptoms of these two disorders, perhaps my next example might help. I’m going to illustrate my point using the examples of Albert Einstein and Thomas Edison.

Albert Einstein and Thomas Edison – A Comparative Study

Symptoms	Albert Einstein	Thomas Edison	Possible link
Speech development	Very late speech (around 3-4 years of age), limited initial vocabulary.	Normal speech but poor school performance	Autism (Einstein)
Social conversation	Isolated in childhood, few close friends, difficulty in normal conversation.	Called ‘challenging’ by teachers, uneasy in the classroom	Autism (Einstein) ADHD (Addison)
Drying style	He thought in images, not words, and didn’t like to memorize things.	Hands-on learners, don’t like traditional schooling	Autism (Einstein) ADHD, kinesthetic learning (Edison)
Attention	Could hyperfocus on physics and math for hours.	Distraction, inability to sit in class	Autism (hyperfocus) (Einstein) ADHD (Addison) (attention deficit disorder)
Behaviour at school	Teachers thought the child was slow or awkward.	Teachers called him ‘confused’, he dropped out of school	Both showed unusual school behaviour
Interests	Extremely narrow and intense focus on physics, space, light.	Great interest in experiments and inventions, constantly experimenting and improving	Autism (Einstein) ADHD (Addison)
Energy level	Quiet, introverted, lost in thought.	High energy level, restless, always experimenting	ADHD (Addison) Autism (Einstein)
Adult achievement	Theoretical genius, abstract thinker.	Practical inventor, innovator	Both – extraordinary creativity, different styles

▶ Einstein and Edison

You can associate Einstein with autism and Edison with ADHD. If you read Einstein’s biography, you’ll find that he began speaking long after birth, only around three or four years old. If he were alive today, he would be considered to have autism.

Thomas Alva Edison, however, performed poorly in school. He struggled with reading and writing. He couldn’t concentrate in class. If he were alive today, he would be diagnosed with ADHD due to his short attention span.

Einstein is said to have had limited social interaction as a child, suggesting he had autism. Edison, according to his teachers, was hyperactive in class. He couldn’t sit still and couldn’t focus on a single task, which, in today’s terms, would be considered ADHD.

Einstein had trouble remembering things. He was always lost in his imagination. Children with autism often do the same. As I told you, they are geniuses. They have some skill or the other that can surprise you. It is the wonder of their creative abilities.

Speaking of Edison, who loved to work with his hands, he never liked school and its practices. He disliked the typical routine of school, such as going to school every day and sitting in the same place in the classroom. It’s said that he disliked set routines. He was easily distracted. This trait points to ADHD.

Einstein had a very high attention span. He could work on subjects like physics and math for hours. Similar to what children with autism do. They can play with a single toy for hours, replaying it over and over again in different ways. This trait brings them closer to autism.

Often, it’s only after their child is sent to school that parents realize their child isn’t normal. They’re causing trouble to others. He’s not keeping up. He’s slow to learn, which means he’s autistic. Just like Einstein was.

His teachers complained to his parents that he was very distracted in class. Such children have a very limited attention span, like Einstein, who was so engrossed in physics that he lost focus on the rest of the world, completely disconnected from it. This trait could lead to autism.

While Edison believed in experimentation, he tried everything with his own hands. This symptom indicates ADHD.

In terms of energy levels, Albert Einstein was a quiet, self-absorbed introvert. He tended to live that way. Children with autism also tend to remain isolated, in their own shells, while the brilliant Alva Edison had a very high energy level, a kind of playfulness that can be difficult to manage.

To understand this in a better way, we can take the example of a rabbit and a tortoise. You can associate the rabbit with ADHD and the tortoise with autism. The rabbit will never sit at one place. You cannot predict its next behaviour. When and where it will jump, what will it hide under. It will make everything messy. Attention deficit hyperactive disorder can be associated with the rabbit. These children behave like rabbits and you can understand children suffering from autism by associating them with the behaviour of a tortoise. It likes to be alone. It is engrossed in its own routine. It does not like to live away from the routine.

▶ Mental Disorders and Statistics 1 in 5 children in the UK have a mental health disorder. NHS England, 21 November 2023, Here in the picture, you can see the statistics of how one in five children in the UK is suffering from a mental disorder. The average global prevalence rate of ADHD in children is 7%. ‘General Prevalence of ADHD’, chadd.org Globally, seven out of every 100 children suffer from ADHD. These statistics can give you an idea of how this number is slowly spreading.

Signs of neurodevelopmental disorders

Lack of smiling by 6 months of age. Non-verbal exchange of facial expressions is absent by 9 months of age. Does not babble or stops babbling by the age of 12 months. Lack of gestures, such as pointing, raising hands, or waving hands, by 12 months of age. Not speaking until the age of 16 months. If there are disruptions or changes in communication or social interaction after normal development.

chemicals present in vaccines Formaldehyde (disinfectant), mercury (thimerosal), aluminum (known neurotoxin), ethylene glycol (antifreeze), benzethonium, methylparaben (fungicide), poly-sorbate 80, glutaraldehyde, neomycin sulfate, monosodium glutamate (MSG), mycobacteria (bacteria used to enhance immune response), blood and tissue residues from dead animals (pig, monkey, dog, etc.) containing viruses.

What’s inside a vaccine? You may not have considered it. Of course, no one usually thinks about these things so deeply. We treat our doctors like gods, and we blindly trust whatever they advise. If it’s said that a vaccine is necessary for children, we take our children to get it without thinking, but never consider what’s in that vaccine. If you look at this picture carefully, you can understand how many heavy metals enter the child’s body along with the vaccine that is given to him and later on these things become the cause of disorders like autism in the child.

Medicines

▶ Autism and the role of medications

Now we’ll discuss the second factor: the role of drugs. What role can drug play in turning a healthy child into an autistic or ADHD patient? It’s said that one plus one equals eleven, so vaccines and certain drugs combined can make a child an autistic or ADHD patient. Educated and modern parents consider their duty fulfilled by taking their sick child to a paediatrician for treatment. They believe that medication is the only option for a sick child, no matter how strong or harmful it may be to the child’s delicate body. In this way, they unknowingly push the child toward many diseases that, while not immediately fatal, can prove harmful and even fatal. Let’s understand this in detail.

autism formula

Childhood vaccines + paracetamol = autism

Autism be triggered by acetaminophen activation of the endocannabinoid system? Acta Neurobiol Exp (Wars)2010:70:227-231.

▶ Paracetamol and autism

To illustrate my point, I’d like to cite some research papers. You can review the research paper provided. It states that vaccines given to children in childhood are harmful, and if they are also given paracetamol, this formula can lead to autism, worsening the symptoms of autism.

Nowadays, paediatricians readily prescribe paracetamol for children, regardless of the cause. Liquid paracetamol is administered as soon as a child develops a fever. This very effort ultimately leads to autism.

This is well documented and was published in a 2010 research paper.

Stimulants in food

Now we’re going to talk about stimulants in food. Just as vaccines and medications can cause a child to become autistic or suffer from ADHD, stimulants themselves are a major factor.

Monosodium Glutamate/Flavor Enhancer

MSG -> seizures at a young age

Monosodium-L-glutamate-induced convulsions-1. Differences in seizure pattern and duration of effect as a function of age in rats. Gen Pharmacol 1984;15:391-395.

▶ Monosodium Glutamate

Yes, you’ve probably heard it. Monosodium glutamate is a stimulant found in almost every type of fast-food item available in the market, such as biscuits, bread, chips, snacks, and burgers. It’s added in small amounts to all of these. This enhances the flavor of these foods, making you want to eat them again and again. You become addicted to them.

This is due to a number of lifestyle diseases. It has also been observed that children are more likely to have seizures. Seizures are a common symptom in children with autism and ADHD.

In today’s time, wherever you go, be it airport, market, bus stand, railway station, mall etc., you will see small children with mobile phones in one hand.

And the other will have a packet of chips. They can spend hours alone, cut off from the world.

Small children can’t even understand what they’re seeing or hearing, but attracted by the colorful pictures, they constantly stare at their mobile screens. They’ve become addicted to food laced with MSG. A child refuses to eat even a little bit of spicy chili in home-cooked food, but the same child doesn’t hesitate to eat spicy chips laced with hot chili. Even if their eyes start watering, they won’t let go of the packet. This is all due to the taste-enhancing MSG.

Food manufacturers add it to their food to maximize sales and make children crave their chips and snacks. What harm can eat it cause to children? It can cause seizures and other symptoms, and when does it become severe? When that same child is put on antibiotics and antiviral medications, and then unknowingly consumes various types of fast-food containing MSG, the results are clear before our eyes. MSG is added in some form or another to every fast food. That’s why it’s called fast food. It’s often advertised under various names, and people are assured that it hasn’t been added to their food. However, as a conscious parent, you need to be vigilant about this issue.

This is why your child may want to eat the same thing over and over again instead of eating home-cooked meals. Even when their stomach is full, they can easily reach for a packet of chips. This alone can tell you that they’re addicted to MSG-containing foods, and this harmful addiction is ruining their life.

Conclusion

We have now come to the conclusion of the module. First, I would like to conclude that nothing I have told you about vaccines in this section is new or unfounded. All of it is already proven and stands the test of evidence. I have simply presented it to you, taken it out of the pages of journals, so that you can keep these facts in mind when making decisions about your children’s future. Information is a great blessing in itself; it helps improve our lives.

Pink Disease (1953)

Vaccine -> Immune response -> pink disease

“Acrodynia and Mercury,” Pediatrics 42 (1953): 365-86.

▶ Pink Disease Research Paper

Some things have been proven for a long time; the only difference is that this information is no longer accessible to the general public. In 1953, when it was first discovered that vaccines trigger an immune reaction, it was given a name: pink eye disease. Many of its symptoms point to a neurological disorder. Whether we’re talking about today or a 75-year-old research paper, this has already been proven, and research papers on this subject are still being published regularly.

Evidence shows that childhood vaccinations are causing autism and other intellectual disabilities.

International Journal of Vaccine Theory, Practice, and Research 4(1) April 7, 2025

For example, you can see a research paper dated April 7, 2025. It also provides evidence that childhood vaccines play a significant role in the development of autism and intellectual disabilities in children.

Repeated stimulation of the immune system by vaccines -> severely hinders brain development.

Spirochetal cyst forms in neurodegenerative disorders…hiding in plain sight. Med Hypoth 2006;67:819-832.

It should now be clear to you that repeated immune stimulation due to vaccines can have a significant impact on brain development.

Childhood vaccines -> autism developmental disorders

The danger of excessive vaccination during brain development: the case for a link to Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Medical Veritas 2008;5:1727-1741.

These research papers echo our story, confirming that childhood vaccines are the cause of autism. We have many more such research papers, but space limits make it impossible to provide all the evidence here.

Stop press Macaulay Foundation Report

Factors that contribute to autism spectrum disorder

Coincidentally, just as this book was in the final stages of going to press, on October 27th, the Macaulay Foundation released a very important report. It is considered the largest report to date, exploring the possible causes behind the rapid rise in autism.

This 82-page report cites 308 research papers, many of which we have included in our chapter. Thus, their findings and mine are similar to the ones I share in the book—the most important of which is vaccines. Childhood vaccines. To understand this, consider U.S. data. In 2000, approximately 21 vaccines were administered to children aged 8 to 10 years in the U.S., and at that time, 1 in every 150 children in the U.S. developed autism, and 1 in every 14 children developed ADHD. As of now, between 2023 and 2025, 40 to 41 vaccines will be administered in the U.S. One in every 31 children has autism, and 1 in every 7 children has ADHD. If we compare this with India, medical records related to autism and ADHD are unclear and incomplete (in India such data is not maintained at all, efforts are made to suppress it so that people do not know the root cause of any disease, this happens with all diseases, not just these disorders). However, I have compiled a list based on the available evidence.
