I have heard a lot of stories on the possible correlation between immunizations and the cause of autism on the news lately. I am just curious to see if anyone else has heard this and what your opinions are. I know immunizations are vital for the health of children but this is an interesting topic - my son will have his first immunizations in 2 weeks, and I am just researching. Unfortunately, I think we are "ignorant" of any correlations at this time - I wish we could fast forward 50 years into the future and see if this is in fact true. ↓

| you could say that there is no smoke without fire, when my son got his immunisations I was assured that it was without the mercury- which is what scared everyone, and he was still diagnosed with autism, I'm sceptical both ways, not blaming it but not dismissing it completely either, does'nt help much does it? ↑ |

| I have 4 children altogether and only the oldest is affected with autism. Therefore im not convinced there is a connection. Also measles is on the increase now because of a lack of parents having their children immunised. Measles is a killer and is extremely dangerous therefore you must ask yourselfs if you think there is a connection, which would you prefer a autistic child or a dead one??? I know which one id choose, but i say again my other 3 have all been immunised and none of them are affected??? thanx and sorry for being so blunt, but I think its important to know all the facts. ↑ |

| I am not sure , what I am sure of is my daughter who has Asperger's it is definitly genetic, her father is very much ASD even without being diagnosed(49 yr). I was immunizied, I am 47 yrs ?? I am pretty ok, maybe they have changed the vaccines. Wendy from OZ ↑ |

by the way, I had a severe case of measles when i was small and i recovered from it.
yes measles is a risk, but i would prefer to risk it knowing what i know now. I have an asd son with severe autism, and i wish he had never had the mmr ↑ |
