It was a relative, and we have legal custody, now.
And all I’m saying about vaccinations ... is that if there is no connection between vaccinations and Autism, then we’re on the wrong thread ... because this is about Autism.
But, if there is a connection, someone is going to have to show that to be so, and not just because “they say so” ... :-) ... (and a bunch of Internet links “saying so”, isn’t going to do it, either). That might work for a lot of other people, but it’s not going to work for me.
You’re the only one who has linked autism and vaccines in our discussion.
I find that interesting.
I was just curious as to your assertion that the child was completely unvaccinated. It’s exceedingly difficult nowadays to have a child that’s totally unvaccinated. Unless you stay in the room 24hrs a day with the child and have a pediatrician set up who’s ‘on board’ with this. Most pediatric practices will throw patients out if they don’t follow the state directed schedule. And failure to follow up with those appointments will generate an automatic call to child services.
The only people I know with kids who can be totally sure they’re not vaccinated, locally, are MD’s. And even then only if they homeschool. There are no religious or philosophical exemptions in my particular state. And the SBOH only issued 10 or fewer medical exemptions the last year I checked and stated on record that more than 1 such exemption was too many. So those are really very difficult to get.
