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

  • Now I like a bit of Led Zep.  What I hate is the idea that seemed to be around a few years ago that how good music was depended entirely on how loud the bass was and how much bragging the singer did (if you could hear him). I used to have an awful neighbour and could feel the thumping right through me when he turned it on.  Instant headache.  Very relieved when he got thrown out for rent arears!

    I once totally stumped a shop assistant who was showing off sub-woofers by asking if they had a sound system where the bass could be turned down: when I was a kid our record player could be adjusted in that way, but he seemed to think it was unheard of for anyone not to like as much bass as possible...

    Thinking back, I did read evidence that vibration could damage fine blood vessels, eg working with big road drills.  So I don't think my theory is impossible!  LOL
