Um, I just want to respond to that part, and I know it's getting worn by now, but people keep on making that same mistake, and so I have to set the record straight each and every time.
Vaccines
do not cause autism. Autism is
a genetically originated neurological difference which can manifest in a number of different ways — e.g. autism proper, OCD, ADHD, dyslexia, synesthesia, et al — many of which often coincide within the same person. Vaccine injury on the other hand is
a form of inflammation which can and often does lead to brain damage, and which is caused by neurotoxic chemicals used as conservation agents, such as
Thiomersal.
Being autistic myself, and having had an education in the paramedical field, I have already elaborated on the difference between both phenomena in many different threads all across the forum, but the most recent discussion starts
in this post here — it's a members-only thread, and you may have to skip a number of off-topic posts on it to get the full explanation, but I do strongly encourage you to read it, as it will clarify a lot of things.
Anyway, that said...
