It was a good article but it just confuses me even more! I was watching Oprah a few months back (and wished I'd turned over to Ellen!),they were discussing autism and parents were showing footage of their children when they were under 18mths-2yrs old.All of them had reached all the milestones they were suppose to,some were talking,laughing,etc.It was heartbreaking to see the same children having been diagnosed with autism.A few of the parents suggested vaccines were to blame,in particular the MMR vaccine.Others suggested the vaccine combined with gene make-up (as suggested in the article).
I have so far given my 4 month old DD all her vaccinatons,but the MMR one does scare me.We are both suffering from a cold at the moment and I feel awful,but its nothing compared to seeing her trying to breath through a stuffy nose and coughing.I cant imagine having to see your child suffer from anything worse.On the other hand the thought of having made the choice to vaccinate and something going wrong is just as awful. Aaaargh! Its such a hard decision,one not to be taken lightly.
Does anyone know if there's any evidence or suggestions to maybe hold off on the MMR vaccine untill the child is older and may have stronger immunity??
