My son is autistic. [View All]

And I have never once thought that vaccines had anything to do with it. Quite literally from the day he was born he wasn't quite like others, even though it took me eighteen years to figure out there was a name for his kind of being different -- Asperger's Syndrome.
I get quite angry at those who try to convince me that vaccines are why he is the way he is.

I also know his autism is not because I was a refrigerator mother, or because of something I ate or drank while he was in utero. For whatever reason, he came into this world with a different way of being, thinking, behaving, than most others. In fact, he has told me (he's 27 now) that he is quite content being the way he is, and would NOT want to be "normal". He is simply one of the most wonderful people I know, and I, too, would not want him to be any different from the way he is.
