Re: SchaferAutismReport: Slightly More Than Half of Americans Say Vaccines Don't Cause Autism: Poll

[Guest guest]

Yes. I am sure that vaccines played a major role in my son's autism. He was

learning and had some language and developing motor skills until his 2 year

shots. I don't know if the shots caused a gene mutation or some other change in

him, but he broke out in a head to toe rash and ran a high ever - the doctor

said, " This sometimes happens. Give him Tylenol and clear fluids. " My son

stopped talking, his motor skills were depleted and he no longer focused on

objects and faces as well as previously. I sincerely believe the vaccines

played a part in my sons autism. My son is now 27 and with lots of therapies and

hard work he has is doing well and is able to talk, but I know there is so much

that is hiding in his brain that he can't express, and so many things he can't

do because his body and motor skills are lacking. I have learned a lot from my

son and love him more than anything else, but I will always wonder what could

have been, if only he hadn't had those vaccinations.
