The scientists concluded that although the study is small, a subgroup of patients with mitochondrial disease may be at danger of autistic regression with fever. 2005 Mar; 47( 3 ):148), have actually suggested that there is a link between autism spectrum conditions and mitochondrial disease (also understood as mitochondrial dysfunction). A research study in the US by Dr. John Shoffner, a geneticist, and neurologist backed these results by concluding that up to around 20% of people with autism have markers for mitochondrial disease. Geraldine Dawson, the Chief Science Officer at "Autism Speaks", is of the opinion that these youth vaccines promote the immune system and can put stress on the functioning of the body's cells, thus getting worse the signs of mitochondrial disease and causing autism symptoms like developmental regression. The New Researcher magazine contacted researchers into mitochondrial disease who discussed that children with the disease are more risk of muscular and neurological problems due to the fact that their cells have actually increased energy requirements and can be damaged if they don't receive adequate energy.
