help with pre-school booster

spoons78

Hi all, im new to the community forum so i hope im using it correctly! I am having real problems trying to decide whether or not to give my 4 year old son his pre school booster. He has always shown signs of autism since birth really but after his first mmr injections he lost all his speech and stopped eating, and for years has only eaten a handfull of different foods. Now he is at school and he is coming on so well. He is eating hot food for the first time in years, im starting to hold little converations with him, and he isnt half as frustrated as he used to be. I know people do have strong views on this so any advice or eperience with this i would gladly appreciate and take on board. I personally think there is a link, but i also acept the importance of immunisation but there are many people i know with autistic children that have not opted to give the pre school booster, for fear of regression, and also rightly stating that this is merely a "top up" and its highly likely thats its unnecessary anyway. I am changing my mind daily, so please, any help or advice you can give would be most welcomed.

many thanks for reading

  • Hi, im looking for some advice regarding the MMR booster. I have a son with autism who is six, he received both MMR vaccines and had regressions after each one, after the first he stopped talking and after the second he was unable to concentrate and started to hand flap and pace. My daughter is now five and is showing no signs of autism, she had the first vaccine at thirteen months as we were unaware of my sons diagnosis at the time and he had not yet had his second regression as he had not had the second MMR at that time. I decided not to give her the second vaccine when she was three, however there is now a measles outbreak not far from where we live and im terrified that she will get measles, ive booked an appointment for her to have the vaccine on Wednesday but now im afraid about her developing autism. I change my mind on a daily basis about whether to give her the vaccine or not, anybody got any advice.
