Steve, there is another category of autistic individuals who never regressed, so your survey leaves a significant gap.

My 4 year old has autism but hasn’t had any vaccines ever. I started your survey, but there is no way for me to answer.

Second question should have included (not vaccinated). Our son was never vaccinated. We noticed speech regression at age 1- 1 1/2 and he was diagnosed with ASD with sensory processing disorder by age 3. To our knowlege, he has never received any vaccines but he was a C section where anesthetic was delivered, got vitamin K shot, and was jaundiced and had to be re-admitted for UV light therapy a few days after being discharged. I regret getting the vitamin K shot - it was not necessary.

Have you gotten the hospital records from your son's birth and his hospital stay when re-admitted for UV light therapy? I recommend you get those records and read them very carefully. You may discover that he was given a HepB vaccination.

Our baby was given a HepB vaccination -- which had been waived and the necessary waiver paperwork completed -- when she was 1.5 hours old, in NICU after a difficult birth and not even considered "stable" yet. We found out she'd gotten the shot only when we requested her hospital records some months later.

She was one of the "different from the beginning" babies who turned out to be autistic.

BTW, a psychiatrist who specialized in treating autism later told us that *many* babies given antibiotics at birth (by IV in NICU, or even receiving them through mother who is on IV antibiotics during labor because she tests positive for Strep B) become autistic.

"Think backwards from the notice date above. How many days elapsed from the child's most recent vaccine appointment?" We all know that onset comes AFTER vaccination. But this structure presupposes it can ONLY come after a vaccine. I think for this survey to be valid, you would also have to allow people to respond with how long BEFORE a vaxx, the symptoms showed up.

I have a 28 year old daughter who is autistic. At age 3, about a month after her MMR vaccine, she had a seizure. Her personality changed and she has OCD and probably other things, but we never got her diagnosed. She is intelligent, but struggles. I nursed her for 1 year, ate organic, and always exercise. Her age group has so many children with autism compared to her brother who is 15 years older and I saw no autism in his age group (which was vaccinated much less).

remember, in most states there r 2 walls you can raise if u refuse to allow any vaccinations...1) its against your religious beliefs and 2)against your philosophy beliefs.......the 3rd one u can try... it violates your protection under the U S constitutin and its ammendments that protect your private property, pocessions, and papers....your body is yours and so are your children...

regarding my last comment, ask the so called authorities that command u follow their orders, and follow what they command u to do.... ask them who gave them the authority to lord it over you, that u want to see that authority, and tell them you want to question that authority personally, because their authority is above the constitutions of your state and the united states. constitutions.., ,,demand it, and i doubt they will produce that which has power over those constitutions and the freedoms they guarantee...and down load the amendments and make a copy & read them....only god, the creator has that power, and he created his people free from all the gov't rules and regulations.....

You can get religious exemptions in every state except for New York, California, Connecticut and Maine. Some states make it super easy to get religious exemptions, but other states like New Mexico (I believe) require you to be part of a faith healing church. Twenty states and DC allow philosophical exemptions to vaccines.

Wow. Thanks for this and all the comments. Sounds like there is more of us that technically were never diagnosed, but us strong loving parents never gave up. We pushed through and I know my kids wouldn’t be successful today as young adults 24 &22 without prayer and my persistence to provide and get my child up to speed with the rest of their peers. I certainly didn’t know crap 25 years ago. I didn’t know any better than to blindly trust the Drs.

Who isn’t damaged at this point?

I am beyond thankful that they are functioning and navigating adulthood.. i finally feel like I can catch my breath. It has had its ups and downs to say the least. Biggest challenge now is trying to teach them to live healthier choices to continue to thrive to avoid pharmaceuticals! It’s their choice now not mine.

My daughter works at Bierman Autism center in Indiana. There are 4 centers in Indiana alone, and there's a WAITLIST. This is NOT normal.

Steve what is the logic behind not having an 'other' option in your pool for when the last vaccination was? I thought it was a good idea when I noticed you were leaving options in polls for people who just wanted to see the answer that way they weren't messing up the results. For some reason here it seems like you did the opposite. It seems like a lot of people wouldn't have a very good idea about the timing of something that happened a long time ago. It also seems like maybe they might miss remember with an unintentional bias. I don't think your survey is going to have much of an impact on Paul offit who considers himself above reproach. I would think it would be easier just to email him a copy of Aaron series sub stick article on him, the casual cruelty of Paul offit. It's a good read LOL

I think that was supposed to read "a copy of Aaron Siri's substack article on him." I haven't seen that article -- will have to look it up. Thanks for mentioning it!

Would like to contribute, but sometimes recognition of autism is not as "cut and dry" as is described here.

While shortly after vaccination we noted an issue with motor skills ( which seemed to vanish in short order ), it was not until a few years later, when the school system suggested testing, that a definitive diagnosis was received.

Autistic but low on the spectrum

I’ve never know of any medication that advises multiple doses at the same time. Yet, children often receive multiple shots in a single doctor’s visit. Tell doctors only one dose/shot per visit, period. Then, wait a minimum of one month before the next shot.

My kid: Only 4 vaccinations. One shot at a time. At least 1 month between a shot and the next. Disabled by autism and hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (both of which I believe are epigenetic and caused by vaccination).

Occult severe adverse effects from the first shot. Obvious severe adverse effects from the 4th shot (the last she's ever gotten and I hope the last she'll ever get); her VAERS report (which I filed because doctors were going to file) was coded by VAERS personnel with 18 SMQs (diagnostic search terms intended to aid researchers) including anaphylaxis, noninfectious encephalitis and meningitis, encephalopathy, and pancreatitis.

After hundreds of hours of studying vaccines, I -- like many mothers of vaccine-injured children -- say "No vaccines. None. Not worth the risk." My husband and I spent half a million dollars out-of-pocket (and we had "good" insurance) trying to "recover" our child, and failed. Not worth the risk!

Why? Sometimes one shot is all it takes.

And waiting “a minimum of one month” as you suggest might not be long enough.

Plus, why trust doctors who lack the critical thinking skills or the courage to question the status quo and examine this issue logically?

Don't kids in the US get a shot every 1-3 months now? So how would you be able to tell it apart?
