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

  • I have not stated that MMR causes autism, I have advised researching and knowing all sides to be able to reach a balanced decision.  I am well aware, having 2 children who are both on the spectrum as well as myself, that autism has at least some genetic element (incidentally, both my children had MMR and I knew nothing about a purported link with autism then).

    What I do believe, is that:

    • vaccinations can contain substances which can negatively affect the human body.
    • vaccinations seem to trigger reactions in some children which have overnight resulted in autistic symptoms/autism
    • some people may be genetically vulnerable to vaccine reactions and it may be that without a substance entering their body that their condition would not have developed
    • governments and big pharma collude to hide negative effects from vaccinations
    • too many vaccinations in one go on babies and small children could be having far-reaching effects that we cannot understand
    • cocktails of vaccinations may overload the immune system (autism appears to have a link to the immune system)
    • governments do scapegoat people who try to whistleblow
    • it pays to be open-minded
    • it pays to do your research!

    This is what I do believe.
