Anyway, I've been learning about testing in psychology and it turns out that the way that we disgnose autism has changed dramatically over time. Alot of kids who had autism where diagnosed with other disorders, and often just labeled retarded. The reality of the situation was very different from the diagnosis, and while psychology is still such a new science, watch out for stuff like that in statisics, because the field of psychology hasn't really nailed down 100% the diagnosis of anything yet. Still, the vaccines seem scary I won’t claim to know much about vaccines, but I am a Psychology major in schooling right now.

Unfortunately not enough studies are being done by independent bodies so we don't really know the truth. But the rise in autism and kids with allergies is scary and its not because its only being diagnosed now. I am not a fan of the vaccines.

We haven't yet taken him for his two month visit yet, and probably won't till I feel comforable with the issue. Good news is, it's not all or nothing. I believe we will eventually figure out a selective/delayed schedule that works for us. If you're interested here are two of the sites that have been very helpful for us making these decisions. http://www.mothering.com/discussions/forumdisplay.php?f=69 http://insidevaccines.com/wordpress/ I was actually planning on blogging about this issue in the next few days *thumbsup* My husband and I have an almost 3 month old and we’ve been debating back and forth about vaccinations for him.

Sounds like their daughter probably should not have gotten the vaccine she got. It also sounds like the media is pumping it up more than they should. Overall I believe vaccines are a good thing. They prevent a great deal of illnesses that can cause a great deal of problems. In the last year or so the Chicken pox vaccine has become standard here in Canada. It means a lot of children don't have to worry about a couple weeks of misery and the potential of worse complications.
