In the past few years, the claim that rh negative women are more likely to have autistic children has come up again and again. But is there truth to this claim or is it merely a myth?
One fairly new study shows that children born before 2001 are much more likely to have rh negative mothers. The potential reason behind it given:
The Anti-D shot contained mercury until that time.
There were significant and comparable increases in maternal Rh-negativity among children with NDs (Clinic: A=24.2%), autism spectrum disorders (Clinic: A=28.3%, B=25.3%), and attention-deficit-disorder/attention-deficit-hyperactivity-disorder (Clinic: A=26.3%) observed at both clinics in comparison to both control groups (Clinic: A=12.1%, B=13.9%) employed. Children with NDs born post-2001 had a maternal Rh-negativity frequency (13.6%) similar to controls.
CONCLUSION
This study associates TCR exposure with some NDs in children.

So what about children born after 2001?
A study conducted by the University of California in Davis has revealed that MAR antibodies in the mother´s blood are responsible for 25% of autism cases in the United States.
Let´s look at it this way:
Back before there was an Anti-D shot, an rh positive fetus of an rh negative mother would simply die or “vanish” if the mother already had antibodies. Now that after 28 weeks of gastation the shot is being administered, we are dealing with 7 months of potential damage being done. If a fetus survives, then the brain activity can be harmed by those antibodies.
Note: In countries with lower levels of autism, the shot is usually given after the birth of the first rh positive child ensuring antibodies being built up while in the U.S. it is given almost towards the end of the pregnancy.
Could this be why there is an autism epidemie in the States?
The alleged autism epidemy began in the early 70s. 1968 was when the Anti-D shot was approved for administering.
If you are an rh negative woman wanting to get pregnant by an rh positive man, here is my advice:
Visit your doctor before you get pregnant and ask for an antibody screening.
If your child is autistic or has Asperger´s:
Allow your child to show you what he or she has interest in. Forcing a child to do what everyone else is going is never a good thing. Rather than turning everyday life into a chore, allow your kid to follow his or her instinct.
In order to bridge social awkwardness, find other children with similar interest.
That way the move from being interested in something towards having interest in others who share those passions helps build a foundation for a better social life once an adult.
There are many sites and communities out there helping mothers of children with Neurodevelopmental Disorders. Everyday Aspergers is one that I recommend.
Many of the members from that page are also on People with Rhesus Negative Bloodtype, so if you are on Facebook, use our page to exchange ideas with other mothers of autistic children if that is what you are.

I am O neg and have an autistic son. I think I was given too many rhogam shots in my life and am worried they caused the autism. If there are any studies done on the connection I would appreciate somebody posting them here.
Can opposite Rh fraternal twins develop a fused placenta? If so then would one twin die of hemolyic (sp?) Disease and die, similar to an Rh negative mother aborting an Rh positive baby? What if the twins were opposite genders? That would screw up the surviving twins sexual development. So wouldn’t it be best to procreate within our own Rh factors and not intermix?
This isn’t a disease….this is evolution this is what we could call a linear mind verses a quantum mind these ppl are here to prove so much to us and they are actually way more brilliant than we give them credit for…you say they have a disability and disorders and that it needs to be treated and fixed and stopped well I have news for everyone most of you are so far off with your facts and guesses it’s hard to read all the websites and crappy out look on it and a negative approach to a beautiful thing we call evolution… I know I know its insane and hard to believe there be good gifts sent to us in unexpected packages kinda like those rocks that look ugly and dull and boringly just like a rock then let’s say you cute that rock open and bam magically to your surprise it’s the most amazing mind blowing breath taking brilliant crystals ever …hidden art of the earth lies right there in the middle. . Hum I hope someone hears me because I’m on a mission to spread the word and to help find a whole new way about this autistic research and labeling and dealings with in general here …they are here to stand their ground in ways that we must learn to communicate with instead of changing them we should learn from and more really about them and how their quantum minds work they know things you couldn’t imagine and of course most are rh- neg because that’s the more pure blood and it just makes perfect spiritual sense if you know what I mean. ..let’s stop being so negative and stuck in our human box and stop being sheep ….”they” know that this is evolution and is a great thing once the masses catch on and thats why they are trying to get rid of it because what happens when everyone finds the truth?? and this autistic world is about to turn our beliefs around in a huge way …wake up everyone this is a beautiful time to be alive why are we doing it in this way ….ask for signs they will come and once you figure out that our linear thinking is the old days the old energy and the new energy is here and so we must stop stiffling their lights and let them show us the way….. Did you know if you ask someone with Autism what day of the week 2/30 of June 2037 they could tell you if they can speak …the answer within seconds and be right everytime because that’s already know knowledge it’s in mass conciseness already done you could say so they know it instantly….and most are way like this with numbers and math brilliant in math and supersedes past on point in subjects or things that interest them their ability to focus can be quit astounding contrary to common beliefs….anyways hope I got you
Lindsay my son has autism and he struggles everyday. He has serious issues and you are might then sound light and bubbly. It sounds like you know someone who is autistic, hopefully not on the severe side. But lots of families are going through heart ache daily battling autism
I am on the spectrum and rh ab- so yes you could say I know someone close to me lol…. im highly functional though and was “diagnosed” until later in life which was difficult at times when I was young but now that I’ve embraced it and learned who I am and what I’m here for my life is easy and smooth and I’m confident in that I do not have a disease or disorder….everything is in order perfectly and what isn’t doesn’t bother me because I see the bigger picture and it’s all ok no matter what… there’s nothing serious going on here …we are energy that transmutes and evolves and manifests in many different great ways that’s all ….change is good yet so is consistency and focus and allowing ….there’s a balance to be found in everything….practice makes you better and there’s no such thing as perfect or else we wouldn’t be here…..find the good in something you see as bad it will change your perspective which in turn changes how you create your reality with the thoughts you think and the beliefs you have ….open your mind be willing to change your mind and beliefs that’s the only way to feel and know the change is good healthy and right and there’s a reason for everything especially autism!! It’s special to me anyways 🤪 love you bye
I am on the spectrum and rh ab- so yes you could say I know someone close to me lol…. im highly functional though and believe we came forth like this on purpose not because doc use us as lab rats cuz thats neat too but it’s not what this is really. About . You can’t cure it or stop it learn to live with it. Not fight against it And the disorder changes to order ..
I was born in 1985 we autistic ones came in a wave we first trickled in in the 70s then came in thick in the 80s …it was on purpose promise
Hi I’m RH neg O .. My first child male born 1987 is autistic. In the UK you don’t have the anti D shot until after the first pregnancy .. the RH neg does’t affect the first child ….
@Lorraine, I am also Rhesus negative group O, and my first two children born in the early/mid 1980’s were also Rhesus negative, so I didn’t need the shot. My third child, born 1987, was Rhesus positive so they gave me the shot *after* he was born; he was later diagnosed with Aspergers. My fourth and last child was born in 1989, she was Rhesus negative so I didn’t need the shot, and she isn’t in the least bit on the autistic spectrum, she is the most social and outgoing of all four of them, and my eldest two do have qualities that could be on the autistic spectrum though they are highly successful.
My third child, born 1987, showed what I later realised were ASD traits even during his birth, which was difficult especially for the baby who was showing many signs of distress. His ASD was showing from the moment of his birth, and during his birth.
I am rh – my son has just been diagnosed as autistic. He is 4. Makes me feel terrible. I feel like I wrecked my son. He is wonderful but I feel to blame for not giving him a better chance. I had rhogam. They said it would be OK.
In the interim, it’s been mooted that autism originates with deletions/duplications/scrambling of a certain section of chromosome 22. All 3 of these anomalies in the chromosome have similar manifestations, which puzzled me until I realised that a whole bunch of genes simply “don’t work” in that section of the chromosome. Other genes in other chromosomes are also involved, because the messed up genes in 22 fail to trigger certain developmental genes.
I found this under DiGeorge syndrome on Wikipedia, when I looked up recent research in Fallot’s Tetralogy which my son had at birth. You may or may not like Wikipedia, but I have always found it helpful in supplying quite good references which lead to other references.
The last time I investigated all this, no-one had actually said out loud that Aspergers was involved in this chromosome thing, but a psychiatrist told me that research is currently under way to prove exactly that.
And it’s only today that I connected the whole thing with Rh-neg. I am B- and my son is B+. Both of us were diagnosed with (fairly mild) Aspergers in 2011, he at age 30 and me at age 65. This means that I was born with autism way back in 1945 – well, it’s always been around, though it was only properly defined and named relatively recently. One small mystery is that I don’t think my mother was Rh-neg…
There is an additional thing about vaccinations. Many people have been severely castigated for linking autism with the many vaccinations that babies and small children get. The link with autism was supposedly disproved by a scientific investigation into the effect of mercury-containing thimerosal which was given a clean bill of health. I don’t know what the “scientists” were thinking when they did that study. While mercury would seem to be an obvious culprit, the study didn’t go nearly far enough – as Mike’s comment about the more recent study into the Anti-D shot indicates. But – and I KNOW this is anecdotal evidence – in my son’s first year, I noticed that every time he was vaccinated, he became remote and disconnected. After a week or two, he would “come back” – but never quite exactly where he had been before. Now this was in 1981, when I barely knew what autism was, and Dr Aspergers book was only translated in 1984 or thereabouts. So I REALLY couldn’t have been imagining all that! I suppose we were lucky that he missed his MMR vaccine (which (also anecdotally) was supposed to be the most damaging of all), because his heart operation was done when it was due.
Thank you, Mike, for your post about this. Until today, the link between rh-neg and autism hadn’t occurred to me. I had heard very vague rumours only – why hasn’t the study to which you link been BLAZONED all over the press??
I feel terribly sorry for Dr Wakefield. He has been accused of so many things he simply didn’t do, by that ghastly investigative reporter. Who knows, now, what the truth was? Even if he got things partially wrong, he was certainly in the right ball-park!
Charlotte, I would love to talk to you! I have been attempting to research the link between Rh – and Autism for the last year. I have a son who is six and HFA and I am Rh negative. You seem to be light years ahead of me in this department. What really got to me was when you mentioned your son’s heart surgery. My son had heart surgery at age 18months and regressed very slowly after that, he was fully vaxxed as at the time I was brainwashed and asleep to this topic. I would love to hear from you and pick your brain annaradzoom@gmail.com
I am a nurse, an identical twin and am also Rh-. My twin sister and I both received the Rhogam shot at 28 weeks gestation and we both have Rh+ sons who have autism. We both have daughters who are neurologically healthy but they are also Rh+ and we’re exposed to the Rhogam shot. After doing much research, recent studies show that IV suramin given to children with ASD has been shown to bring parts of the ASD brain out of hibernation (huge improvement in speech and stemming behaviors!!) What is suramin you ask??? It’s a well known anti parasitic drug and can also be used in treatment for some cancers. Why would researchers think to use this particular drug to treat autism??? Things to know about suramin… 1) it penetrates the blood brain barrier, whereas most oral anti parasitic drugs do not. 2) Suramin killed parasites by altering the parasites metabolic function. 3) Suramin in the right doses isn’t toxic to humans. My theory is that the Rhogam shot might be contaminated with micro parasites or micro parasitic larvae. At 28 weeks gestation the fetus’s blood brain barrier is still very porous so medications can pass through easily. If there is a parasitic infection (for example toxoplasmosis) it can go unnoticed for months after the baby is born. Fun fact about T. Gondii the parasites that causes toxoplasmosis is that it doesn’t have much success in people who are Rh- so mom may not get infected but baby is! Another question- why are boys more a risk for ASD??? Research shows that latent toxoplasmosis causes a massive increase in testosterone levels to which male children have more receptors. Just a thought… love your kids through this and ASD is not your fault!!!💕✝️
I am A rhesus negative and my son who is my second born has ADHD and Aspergers syndrome. I was given the Anti D vaccination after my first born. This is very interesting to me. I need to read further!
