Ultrasound Exams in Early Pregnancy Linked to Autism, School Violence









Boston, MA:� Expectant mothers that have ultrasound examinations during the first 20 weeks of pregnancy are much more likely to have autistic children or children that will be prone to violence in their teenage years.

Jeremiah Wassah-Boolphrogg, PhD, Director of Exculpatory Evidence Research at the Ted Kennedy Automobile Buoyancy Evaluation Institute in Boston announced his startling findings during a news conference at the Institute yesterday afternoon.

Citing previously published data from a number clinical research studies, Dr. Wassah-Boolphrogg described how his team of scientists discovered this previously unnoticed relationship:

"We were having a working lunch one afternoon when, purely by accident, someone placed an overhead projection transparency that charted the yearly increase in the number of ultrasound exams on top of another transparency that graphed the increasing number of children diagnosed with the psychological criteria for either Asperger's Syndrome or Autism.� As you can imagine, we were shocked to learn that these graphs were identical" Dr. Wassah-Boolphrogg said.

"When we looked at the prenatal medical care received by mothers of children that became �school shooters,' we discovered that in every case the shooters' mothers had an ultrasound examination early in the course of their pregnancies.� Without a single exception, none, not one!"

When asked how the incidents of school violence could possibly be related to a single event that had occurred years previously, Dr. Wassah-Boolphrogg presented what he termed "the socioeconomic model" of school violence.
