I have been running Sensitive Sweets bakery for about 3 years now, and it's shocking how many stories I've heard from my customers, connecting autism and vaccines. Most of these families explain that right after a vaccine, their child has serious symptoms including high fevers and seizures. From that point on, their child is "gone...a ghost."
As you may already know, I believe that most of our health issues are connected to what we eat. Diet has directly affected both of my sons, and they are doing extremely well without medications because we monitor everything they eat. However, I also believe that certain medications and vaccines are necessary. For instance the Polio vaccine...can we deal with Polio...NO way! But can we deal with chicken pox or rotavirus? YES, because we have dealt with it. It's not fun, and boy oh boy it's a BAD week of being ill, however I'd prefer to limit the number of vaccines my child is receiving.
I recently read an interesting article in CBSnews.com about Vaccines and Autism. You might find this interesting....

as things like polio are just a plane ride away. Unless a child is allergic to the vaccine components or is immuno compromised. We have a fully vaccinated child. We spread out our vaccines much to the unhappiness of our ped dr. I just do not believe we need
to give our kids ALL those shots at one time. Thank you for bringing this to light.
just didnt know the signs to watch for, so we were unaware that his behavior wasnt just cute quirkiness, but an early clue instead. We are not sure what caused his autism, and may never know. There are two types of cases of autism, those children who fail
to meet milestones, and those who meet the milestones early on, and then regress or lose many of those capabilities. I am not an expert, but it seems to make sense to me that a child can be predisposed to autism, just as someone can be predisposed to cancer
or heart disease. That doesnt mean you will definately get it....but if they are exposed to a trigger or enough triggers, it can cause the disorder/disease to develop. And yes, I agree with you that the way we eat can be such a big factor, as can the pollutants
in our environment. In my son's case, I believe he was born autistic. We are examining the various vaccines now, to determine which ones we believe are very important to his longterm health. But I cant say it doesnt worry us to vaccinate him, even though he
already has autism. His immune system is very different than most other people's. So we are heading into an area of the unkown outcome, and for any parent, that's not a place we like to be when we are talking about our kids.
