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 ↑ |

The doctor that orignally made the claim between immunizations and autisms was actually dismissed from his position because of his false allegations. It was proved that there was no link found. Bad gossip travels far and wide.
I personnaly believe it to be genetic as my sister has two with autism I have two and my Grandmother is autistic. ↑ |

Hi, I am currently an undergraduate student at Barry university in Miami and I am conducting a survey for my thesis on "parent's perceptions of the link between autism and vaccinations. I am posting the official letter that was approved by the Institutional Review Board at my University. The online survey is on the Autism Speaks website. I am asking that you please log on and respond if interested to help make new breakthroughs on how parents still feel.

I think it is a dangerous trend,some times rumours flow faster.It has been proven by scientific research that there is no basis in it.
Moreover because of it many parents are avoiding vaccinations and because of this trend many diseases,which were considered as cured,are making a come back,which is a very dangerous trend.

| Hi. I work in a school district, as a special-education paraprofessional. I have been blessed to care for and help many different children of various ages, with a variety of challenges. I recently listened to / watched a woman share her incredible story of raising a son with autism. It touched me deeply. Her son was healed, a few years back, and continues to improve in his schooling. I ordered her book and found so much hope in her experience. Hope that applies to everyone, including families with autism but not limited to only autism. My heart goes out to all. If anyone is interested in the details of the book and the radio / t.v. program, please e-mail me at [email protected]. (Since it is my understanding that some things cannot be posted.) With excitement, encouragement, and heart-felt appreciation and compassion to every family touched by especially autism...There IS Hope. - I do believe, as many others do, that there are too many negative things related to immunizations... ↑ |
