What is interesting about the portion of the quote in parentheses is the fact that it’s coming from a person living on the spectrum. Someone who has firsthand knowledge of what being autistic is all about.
What’s even more interesting is the fact that I’ve never heard or read a statement like this from someone on the autistic side of the vaccination “debate”.
It’s late, and I’m a bit tired. Maybe I didn’t read it correctly, but it sure does look pretty cut-n-dry to me, “it’s just plain false… that vaccines cause autism.”
I consider myself to be a very open-minded person, and I’m always up for hearing different points of view.
I’m very curious to know, if I understood the statement correctly, what this blogger feels “caused” his autism.
The jury’s been out on this issue for some time now.
- Is it the vaccines?
- Is it the dramatic changes in the environment?
- Is it hereditary?
Who knows when we’ll reach a verdict that both sides will agree on.
Autism is complex; I don’t know why I’m always trying to figure it out. I guess I just want to know as much as possible, so I can do more for my son.
