I know it's terrible to have something like autism occur in your child, and I don't know the details of your situation. But I do want to encourage people to carefully research before they buy into the media scare re: vaccines and autism. There is no scientific evidence of a link, and there have been multiple studies over long periods of time. I think we all get a little complacent because we haven't seen first-hand for years in this country how horrible a case or even worse an outbreak of polio or measles can be. Millions of children have been saved from death, disability, or disfigurement by vaccines, and for that I will say thank you in earnest.
