MMR @ 3years, safe for my autistic son???

Hayley S

Hi all. Just wana get some opinions on the MMR vaccine.

My son had his first dose at 12months old and I noticed a change in his behaviour straight away. He had started saying 'choo choo' (he loves Thomas the tank), clapping and doing the stars with his hands to 'twinkle twinkle'. Soon after his dose of MMR he stopped all that.

He will be 3years old in December and has only recently started to say 'choo choo' again and a few other words such as cat. he has come on so much which has taken a lot of work from myself, my husband, our families, speech thearpy and speech groups.

I'm frightened that if he has the 2nd dose of MMR it will stop all he's learnt and send him back to the beginning!! 

any feesback or thoughts or suggestions on this would be very much appreciated. I've looked into having the vaccinations done in 3 separate injections... Any thoughts on that either? 

Thanks you. Hayley xxx

    Just so you have both sides of the coin, always wise to know all the facts before making decisions:

    "Vaccines contain lots of chemical ingredients you wouldn’t consider safe to ingest. For example, the “MMR” vaccine has: measles, mumps, rubella live virus, neomycin, sorbitol, hydrolyzed gelatin, chick embryonic fluid, and human diploid cells from aborted fetal tissue. Many other vaccines contain disgusting ingredients like, formaldehyde, aluminum hydroxide and thimerosal. (mercury) If you don’t believe this – try asking your doctor for a list of ingredients during your next office visit or look it up yourself."

    Ignorance is not bliss; it is dangerous...  

    UK childhood vaccines do NOT contain Thimerosal (mercury based preservative), which includes the MMR vaccine.  

    I prefer to base my facts on the World Health Organisation and evidence-based, peer-reviewed medical research, and not some dodgy website, new-age medicine, or self-published book!

    Also I noticed that one of the said websites supports Andrew Wakefield, despite the fact that his research as been universally discredited internationally, was flawed, used a small sample of children (12), was unethical, etc.  The website I am referring to is British Society for Ecological Medicine, a website and organisation that I have never even heard of before (and I am familiar with many a UK based medical organisation).
