How do YOU feel about the immunization/austism connection? Did the shots shut down your child? Do you feel that there is no connection? Do you feel that there is one massive cover up going on? What do you think?
I believe wholeheartedly that there is a link. My son had an awful reaction to his shots, severe fever, vomiting etc. He went from near pefect apgars to asd diagnois. Now, I can't prove it, but I will say this. It seems as though there is a coverup.Parents are told that these vaccines are safe, that its all hogwash linking, yet when there is a reaction instead of report them as they are required, most doctors do not. If there was nothing to hide, what would be the hold up in reporting?
I do NOT believe it is the Shots. There are children who had reactions to the shots and did not develope Autism. There are children who did not react to the shots who do have Autism. People get their shots from Public Health. And from Doctor's offices. Which are better?? who knows. If you think about it, when you were preginate you were told a lot of things were safe, over the counter drugs etc. When I had my first son he is 20 years old, I was given a list with what I could use. My 2nd son is 17 years old, I was given a shorter list. When my niece had her son, 5 years old, she had a very short list. In 15 years over half the over the counter drugs on my list were removed from her's. The thing is I never took anything! At 2 weeks pregnate I took 2 asprin with the oldest, found out I was pregnate and nothing else. With the 2nd we were trying so I was already not taking anything. But I have one with Asperger's, the younger. I truely believe mankind doesn't understand 1 percent of how the human body really works and interacts with itself and its inviroment. But, I can't see a coverup going on for 20 years of giving children bad injections knowingly. What would they have to gain. More children to have to support now and adults as they age? As far as reporting, do all doctors get a call from parents when their child spikes a fever (I am not saying your son wasn't severe) after getting shots? Most parents are told to expect it. I always had to give Benjamin Tynoal before his shots, he was going to have a fever and rash. He has a lot of skin rash alergies. I did not call the doctor, I expected it. I think there is more than one trigger to Autism, both gentic and enviormental. But, I don't know if we will find it anytime soon. There are too many varibules at this time.
I PERSONALLY THINK THERE MIGHT BE SOME CONNECTION . WE ALL HAD OUR VACCINATIONS ON TIME MY OLDEST SISTER IS 36 AND SHE IS BRILLIANT . SHE IS IN WHO'S WHO AND SHE ALWAYS EXCELLED IN SCHOOL (AND SHE WAS ENROLLED A YEAR EARLY) SHE LIVES IN IRELAND AND GETTING HER 3RD DEGREE I BELIEVE .
BUT MY YOUNGEST SIS WHO IS 14 , WHEN SHE WAS A TODDLER MY PARENTS WANTED TO PUT HER IN A DAYCARE FOR SOCIALISATION REASONS AS WE WERE RURAL AND NO PLAY DATES OR SUCH .
INSTEAD OF GETTING HER MEDICAL RECORDS THAT THE DAYCARE REQUIRED IT WAS JUST EASIER FOR MY MOM TO GET HER AN EXTRA VACCCINATION REAL QUICK FOR THE DAYCARE .
THE NAME OF THE PRESERVATIVE IN THE VACCINES I THINK IS SOMETHING THERMERASOL OR SOMETHING , I DON'T KNOW IF SHE HAD ANY PARTICULAR REACTIONS BUT I HAVE HEARD THE STORY AND WE USED TO WATCH IMUS IN THE MORNING GETTING READY FOR SCHOOL AND THEY TALKED A LOT ABOUT THIS .
I DON'T KNOW BUT I SUSPECT THERE MAY BE A LINK , IT'S SUCH A PUZZLE . THAT IS WHY I LIKE THE ICON 4 THIS GROUP . GETTING ALL THE PIECES AND THEN FIGURING OUT HOW 2 PUT THEM 2GETHER . SOMETIMES OUR HOUSE IS JUST UPSIDE DOWN . WE MOVED INTO OUR NEW BIGGER HOUSE MANY YEARS AGO BUT STILL IT SEEMS WE ALL WIND UP IN THE SAME ROOM A LOT THOUGH WE TRY TO VARY OUR SLEEP SCHEDULES AND SUCH . NO OFFENSE BUT SOMETIMES MY SISTER GIVES ME A HEADACHE . SHE SEEMS TO BE LASY BUT SHE PROBLY ISN'T I JUST KNOW SHE DOESN'T DO MUCH HOUSEWORK OR COOKING OR SUCH . RIGHT NOW WE R GROWING FROGS FROM TADPOLES . SHE HAS ALL OUR OLD OMPUTERS IN HER ROOM , SHE LIKES 2 TAKE THINGS APART . I'M AFRAID SHE WILL GET SOME KIND OF RADIATION FROM THE OLD COMPUTERS . SHE HAS A HORRIBLE DIET AND IS JUST LUCKY TO BE BLESSED WITH gr8 SKIN + SUCH . WE ALWAYS TELL HER 2 AVOID THE SUGAR AS BOTH PARENTS R NOW DIABETIC MY DAD JUST HAD 2 GO ONTO THE INSULIN INJECTIONS , MY MOM IS TYPE 2 , UNTREATED .
OF COURSE I FEEL THERE COULD BE A COVER UP BUT THEY MIGHT SAY BETTER TO PROTECT THE ENTIRE POPULATION EVEN IF SOME ARE DEVASTATED .
I do not believe immunizations are a precursor to autism. I believe that it is a biological, mostly inherited neurological disease. It is seen in families, especially looking back at those family members deemed "odd"...who show signs of the spectrum... Also, trauma in the womb and at birth or immediately after can affect the brain and cause it...lack of oxygen is a huge one.
I believe this based on what I see in our family. I have Aspergers...my father had every sign of it but in his day it was not mentioned (had he lived, he'd be nearly 90). My son is autistic. My half- sister from my mom's side (first marriage) is Aspie, her children are on the spectrum. My son is Aspie and MR, due to both genetics and significant lack of oxygen in utero, at birth (3 mos preemie and on the vent for most of his NICU time), etc. My step children are both on the spectrum....one is Aspie and one is PDD-NOS.
While folks don't recognize the symptoms til after the vaccines that come in mulitiples...if you look back, you can usually see things that just don't look right...like baby was rigid or very limp, hated touch, seldom cried, you name it... An autistic child shows signs from birth...if only the parents will look and see rather than ignore it...especially if they have it running in the family.
