I am the father of an 2 autistic children,,,,,and I have to say that unless you live with it you will never understand it. My child is 5 but has the mental state of a 2 year old, but he wasn't always like that, when he was born he was a normal child hitting all milestones until six months, thats when he went in for his "needed" shots plus the doctor wanted to throw in a flu shot as well because she hadn't made my child scream enough. After all of those shots my child got really ill and had to be in the hospital for a month,,,,when he got out of the hospital he was a different child, he couldn't even hold his head up, he went backwards from that moment and it has been a fight since to get him to where he needs to be. So autism is very real and I wish that doctors would just find the cause and cure instead of worrying about themselves,,,,I say this because if vaccines are finally found to be the cause there would be some major lawsuits out there. I personally don't care about that,,,I just want to know why my little boy isn't like all the other five year olds out there and what can be done to get him there or at least as close as possible.
First of all, being in the healthcare field I have seen many children with autism, and it doesn't get any easier on me to see it. Its such a sad, sad condition.
That being said, at this point, and it may change eventually, there have been numerous studies conducted that have never found a conclusive link to immunizations and a diagnosis of autism.
