My baby boy lost his speech and lines things up, rocks and bangs head and stares at wheels on cars. He never responds to his name. We are starting Early Intervention therapy. Just wanted opinions on what you think causes autism. He did have a bad reaction to the MMR vaccine. I am considering not having any more vaccines for him. He is do again in September for vaccines and I might refuse them.
My nephew is 2 months old and he doesnt like to be held, he wont look at anyone, he only stretches he head backwards to look at a light or something else and he never seems happy… im worried that he might have something wrong with him like autism… does anyone have an autistic child and know how early you could see signs of autim? Thanks so much for any help!
Just currious to know what you think?
If you are a parent what are your concerns and thoughts?
If you are a parent with a child with autism, when did you start to notice the symptoms?
Any suggestions for alternative options for non mercury vaccines or option of spacing out the vaccines.
I just find it alarming that in the 1970′s 1 in 10,000 children had autism; now 1 in 150 have autism!
Thanks for you input!
i’m concerned that giving shots to my baby may ultimately lead to some form of autism and allergies as some have claimed… is 4 shots at once too much for a 14-lb baby?
I was just wondering if anyone else out there is considering possibly stopping or delaying vaccinations due to the possibility of a link with autism. I seem to be hearing every day about the rise in autism, and I am concerned about continuing to vaccinate my 10 month old. I wanted to see what other parents think about this subject.
Just wondering if it is possible to notice symptoms of autism when your child is a few months old or when it can be diagnosed. What are the signs? I’ve seem a bit about it on the news recently and it has me interested. Thanks.
My son doesn’t seem to have any symptoms, but I’ve heard they can develop later. When does that happen if it does? What should I look for?
I know i know, “they” say, vaccines don’t have any side effect that triggers the autism.
But I just want to know which one?
She doesn’t like to look at the person holding her. She can and does make eye contact and smiles at people she recognizes, but when some one who is holding her trys to talk to her, she turns her head.
my five week old baby will not look anyone in the face. i know this is a sign of autism, but is it too early to tell, or is it that my child is still too young to like to look at faces?
My son is 8 months and will be going for his 9 month check up and shots soon and I am getting more and more concerned about autism being possibly linked to vaccines. Which vaccines am I okay to stay away from and which ones are maybe considered safer??? My doctor doesn’t seem to think there is a link so isn’t helpful…
