By turning a blind eye like the cigarette companies in the 80s, so are the pediatric organizations, public health organizations, and the media. All of these push the full vaccination schedule on such tiny infants, in part because they are a captive audience. The medical and public community thinks that they could never get the shots into the kids at later ages.
How was I to know as a young mom that there even could have been an alternative to the vaccines? I still don't know if that caused the problems in my son, but "the greater good" doesn't help our families who have had to struggle with what we may have done to our children.
That is the truth. Our families are left to cope with this devastating situation, often, on our own. Finances will be strained especially as they grow older. I've been mocked for investigating alternative or anecdotal treatments by those who don't know what it means to live with an autie and especially by the 'traditional' medical establishement that doesn't want to "deal" with an autie. I've arrived at the point where I will pursue these alternative treatments even if they cannot be verified through double-blind studies. As long as a remedy works for my son, that's enough proof for me and for him to continue with said anecdotal remedies.
