a lot of hysteria, because I’m old enough to remember when autistic kids were diagnosed as “retarded” or “childhood schizophrenia” and put into institutions.
An alternative theory: neurotic helicopter parents cause autism.
Could be for the same reason babies, children - adults - get, or do not necessisarily, the same response when exposed to any virus. . .or allergen. Immune systems vary per strength. And just as we know 'boy' babies more susceptible to some things moreso than the females; red haired/blonde and blue eyed children more 'inclined' to have certain issues - than their brown-eyed counterparts.
All to say, it may well be, just a genetic composition or hearty or less so, immune system when child is vaccinated. (Might be just how 'body' is at the moment. Recovering from a cold? Another illness? A bit run down or not - as to all the aforementioned.)
We know that people are not equal per their resistance to disease.
Is it possible as well, that these vaccines might 'vary' even the slightest in strength; or by manufacturer variables. . .
