For your information and please pass on, the Japaneses Times conducted a 5 year study because Agent Orange dumps have been found in Okinawa. The US Govt. claims it is not theirs. Marines stationed in Okinawa during the war have come forward and stated they unloaded and loaded Agent Orange. They claim it was stored and dumped. They have pictures. But the US denies. Put in claims, and appeal and appeal and appeal. Many have won.

My mother who served in Okinawa, while pregnant with me, passed away from Multiple Myeloma in 2012. The VA awarded her medical benefits and coverage for her Multiple Myeloma diagnosis, as a result of Agent Orange exposure. I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes fairly young, and I have a 9 year old diagnosed with Autism in 2014. I am just wondering if there have been other cases of families who have seen Aurism as a possible result of agent orange exposure and have you attempted to receive compensation/benefits from the VA?
