One child, one family suffering through autism is one too
many. April is autism awareness month
and Tuesday, April 2nd was the official Autism Awareness Day. The month of March was a frustrating month
for many families dealing with a child or loved one with ASD. We heard for the first time in March that 1
out of 50 children currently are on the autism spectrum. We heard that ‘there is no relation between vaccines
and autism’. It was VERY frustrating as
a parent of a child that suffered regressive autism after a series of vaccines.
I would have a lot more respect for these so called
researchers if they said that for some children the current vaccine schedule and
the chemicals in vaccines are fine, but for some it may not be. Try this, if a doctor tells you that there is
no correlation between vaccines and autism ask them to put it in writing. Ask that doctor or nurse to write you a
promise on their letterhead and sign and date it. Trust me it won’t happen. I know this because after a healthy debate with
a couple of doctors I said this to them.
Let me just say that was the end of the discussion.
I can’t say that for every child vaccines equal autism. That’s not accurate and not at all what the
numbers say. What is also impossible to
say is that every child is healthy enough to handle the current vaccines and
vaccination schedule. I’ve said this
before and let me reiterate it; I am not anti-vaccine. I am against the current schedule and all the
crud that is put into these shots. I
also believe in this analogy; genetics loads the gun, the environment pulls the
trigger. That is why some children can
have the 30+ vaccines and never suffer and why some children don’t get past the
MMR like my daughter.
