	Bernard Rimland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bernard Rimland, PhD (November 15, 1928 in Cleveland, Ohio-November 21, 2006 in San Diego, California) was a research psychologist, writer, lecturer, and advocate for children with autism, ADHD, learning disabilities, and mental retardation.
		Rimland's son, Mark, was born in 1956, when the diagnosis of autism was rare.
		Rimland's book, Infantile Autism: The Syndrome and Its Implication for a Neural Theory of Behavior (1964), is credited by many with changing the prevailing view of autism, in the field of psychiatry, from an emotional illness --widely thought to be caused by refrigerator mothers-- to the current recognition that autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder.

		Bernard Rimland e' nato a Cleveland, Ohio, nel 1928 ed e' morto il 21 novembre 2006.
		All'inizio del suo lavoro, il Dr. Rimland aveva ricevuto molti resoconti di bambini che non avevano problemi di disabilità prima di ricevere il vaccino DPT.
		Quando il Dr. Rimland seppe che la maggior parte dei vaccini infantili conteneva il conservante thimerosal, costituito al 50% da mercurio, una potente neurotossina, capì immediatamente che l'escalation del numero dei vaccini poteva essere colpevole dello schoccante aumento dell'incidenza dell'autismo.
