- Autism & Vaccines with toddlers and children are a hard topic. I have loosely talked about this before but figured it was time to answer the question: did I vaccinate my 4 autistic kids?

Thank you for everyone that has been so sweet and gracious. I was so nervous posting this 😅
I hate that you have to edit what you say! You did a great job explaining this. If people make mean comments they have some personal issues!
Curious about the new lawsuit out about Tylenol causing autism? If you used Tylenol during pregnancy.
@@Rebecca-1111 good question, we were always told it was the only safe thing to take 🙄
@@beckyboo1433 thanks. 💯 exactly
Both my kids were fully vaccinated. The oldest (girl) does not have autism. My son does have high functioning autism. What I have learned is that I am 99.9999999% sure I'm autistic too, even though I was never diagnosed. I 100% believe it is genetic. BTW, you are doing a fantastic job advocating and getting services for your children.
Same here. I have 2 kids. Daughter is not but son is. @SandyBee Do you get a genetic test to see if the chances are high for the next sibling?
Could be aluminium allergy.
I personally think autism is genetic. After finding out about our son, my boyfriend saw alot of the same characteristics in himself and others in his family. I do believe everyone is entitled to their own opinion and should never be pushed to change their beliefs. You explained everything great and this video was definitely needed.
I think it's genetic too.
I think it's genetic too because I am Autistic and my mum also got diagnosed after finding out about my diagnosis. also one of my nephews is Autistic and I have cousins on both my mum and dad's side who are also Autistic
I also believe that this is genetic as well not to mention there is been no link to vaccines and autism.
It's totally genetic, I'm autistic, my brother is autistic and both of my sons are Autistic, none of my children have had any vaccinations at all in their lives. So no I don't think vaccination causes Autism, can vaccination it make it worse? sure I believe that. Any virus, inflammatory infection or vaccination in theory can do that.
I mean it’s pretty much proven that autism has genetic links and this woman chose to have kids without taking her genetic abnormalities seriously so she’s gonna wanna blame everyone but the true culprit which is her self.
Thank you for sharing this! I definitely agree with everything you said in the video, but to those who don't, please respect Stephanie's choices and opinions, as she is well educated, and has personal experiential knowledge (HER family, as she stated many times). Respect and love!
We have a genetic mutation called 17Q12deletion Syndrome. My mother is the carrier. My brother has Autism, my sister is a Diabetic and I have severe depression. Genetics are fascinating and once you discover them it can make things make a lot of sense.
My grandson is autistic, he is the most beautiful delightful little person i know and i would not change him for the world. Love to you and yours, be well, be safe and merry Christmas.
I used to be critical of the so called "anti-vaxx" narrative but the last couple years has been a big wake-up call for me as to the perpetuated dishonesty in the pharmaceutical industry. You see Cronyism at its finest.
Ma’am, two things can be true at once.
You did the VERY best you could with how you felt and what you knew at the time!!! I think that your kids are very blessed to have the parents that they have!!!
I have vaccine injured, now adult kids. Daughter had liver issues after HPV vaccine, Son had a massive change, Autism became apparent, after MMR and only 2 weeks after contracting HFM. Youngest Son has asthma after MMR and contracting RSV. It seems in our case, the combination of vaccines and viral infection caused an auto immunity reaction.
This is not true. It may be your feelings, but it’s not based in science/reality.
@@katm7255 😡 keep shilling for pharma. Don't gaslight people about what they know is true.
@@beckyboo1433 it is literally not true when it is not based in science or fact. You live in a fairy tale world with alternate facts.
My daughter has autism , level 3 doesnt eat, still in nappys, non verbal and lots of sensory issues but she is the most adorable child ever. It doesnt matter to me why she is autistic anymore, all I know is I love her with all my heart and will keep doing everything for her.
Giselle Ali do you make videos or have a facebook
I definitely agree with you. I think more focus should be to those who already are diagnosed with autism. Finding the help and support they need instead of finding a reason as to why children are autistic. I truly think if you can vaccinated your children, it is a selfless and considerate act. Not only are you protecting your family but others as well
Always grateful for how you cultivate respectful, open minded, and educated discussion on these charged topics.
Seriously you look so much happier these days, it looks so good on you, lots of ❤
Thank you!!!
My son is autistic & he has a lot of mannerisms like his dad & great grandpa. I do think it is hereditary, however I think some of these cases like my son are controversial.
You see, he was very intelligent.... by 2 1/2 years old, he knew his colors, shapes, names of toys, and he could pump his own legs on his swing set and swing very high on his own.
I knew he didn’t like socialising much & he preferred to play with adults, or one on one with other kids. Other than that, he seemed to be very advanced.
Then, we decided to go ahead and address his socialisation & put him in preschool.
We went ahead and got his vaccinations. He ran a high fever that day & night, so I took him to the ER at about 3 a.m. The hooked him up to some fluids & in the end prescribed two different meds to break his fever.
I took him home & put him to bed. The following day, he wasn’t playing or up and about so I kept him with me in the living room on a pallet.
Over that well, he seemed to be feeling better.... but I noticed something strange. It looked like the side of his face was crooked & his tongue was hanging from the side where his face was lop sided. I didn’t know what was going on.... so I made him an appt with his pediatrician.
This lasted about a week or so, but it wasn’t consistent & so his pediatrician wasn’t really concerned because when we got him in, it looked pretty normal to him & he didn’t see anything to be concerned about at that time, so he said to keep an eye on him & see if there are any changes.
Well, his face seem to get better... but, then over the course of the next 4 months, he started acting strange. He stopped responding to his name, then a month later he started running in circles making weird sounds. I saw a program on autism, and it scared me. I had never heard of it before (this was in 1999)
So, I took him back to his doctor, and he held him & played with him... and reassured me he didn’t have autism.
Well, as time went on over the next 2 months.. he stopped pumping his legs on his swing & stopped speaking. Then, it looked as though he was going in complete reverse, over the next 3 years.
He was a completely different baby, even my parents who last saw him at 2 years old (they live in another state) saw him again at 4 years old & said.... he’s not the same. He has lost everything since last time we saw him. Lots of people noticed.
The whole time, I was taking him to his doctor, the hearing impaired school, & the university that had just opened an autism program & he was still in preschool for 2 years.
He was finally diagnosed with autism at 4 years old by a child psychologist. Now, we lived in a very rural area back then & there virtually no education on autism, let alone resources.
I ended having to teach his primary teachers & therapists about autism. I ended up getting a scholarship for school, from the school to be apart of their autism team & work in class with other autistic children.
This was a rough journey, as I was very young myself, 23 years old.
He can talk, read & write... loves art, games & riding his bike, four wheeler, ect..... but, he is not independent. He can only focus on certain things & is very innocent, child like.
I often wonder if he would have been higher functioning if he wouldn’t have ran that high fever after his vaccinations & when his face fell to one side for that time period.
There’s a lot more to his story, but I just stuck with certain points that have always stood out to me & looking back in hindsight how I would have done things differently if I, or our doctors here would have known.
I think you did a great job with this video of explaining your thought process and how your opinion changed over time. I also appreciate how you were trying to be respectful to Noah while still sharing your point of view at that time. My understanding is not necessarily that you didn’t want to have another child with autism as you love your son Noah and wouldn’t change him. But the traumatic experiences you went through as you fought for a diagnosis for Noah and not receiving the services he needed for years was a journey that you didn’t want another child to have to go through which influenced your decision not to vaccinate Lex at that time. Then as you learned more about autism and your family genetics, you opinions changed. I also like how you brought up the point of people asking you if you vaccinated your kids when they learn of their Autism diagnoses. I have a child with spina bifida and some people’s first reaction is to ask me if I took folic acid during my pregnancy. 1. I did, but if I didn’t would you then blame me and say it’s my fault my son has spina bifida?
2. What is the purpose of that question? How does that help anyone now? Just so you can figure out the cause or what is to blame?
Like you said- instead of trying to figure out the cause, let’s focus on supporting people with disabilities/differences.
I think this was very well said and with respect to everyone’s choices they make for their families. ❤️ What wonderful blessings your children are
Thanks for this video. I didn’t see this til now. With it being an old video ! You’re great with your kids. Yes, it’s definitely each kid is different. ❤❤
Might it be safer to say autism is a “pre existing condition”. It might not shut down someone’s need to keep arguing there “exhausted point of view”. Yet it might be more accurate. How admire your ability to talk about the tough stuff 😙
My husband had a aortic dissection and was on lifesupport six months. His oxygen person was from Africa and she’s in medicine and her oldest has severe autism. He just screams and rocks. She is positive it was the shots. Her second child her daughter she waited until she was five to start shots and no issues. She believes waiting a few years would save a lot of kids.
If only people would be so gracious to those vaccine injured families and not reply “It’s not the vaccines”.
Agreed
💯
But it quite literally IS NOT vaccines. Vaccines may cause other things but they will NEVER cause autism
Please do tell me how my child has autism then please?I had very bad anxieties after I had him so he didn't have he's jabs,he's 3 now and he still has not had any vaccines,won't take medicine when he's poorly,so never had any toxins in he's body what's so ever yet has autism,nothing to do with injections at all and until professionals can say for sure the jabs also cause autism then I won't believe it
Absolutely!! It's gaslighting these victims
Disability specialist here! I really do appreciate you sharing your story
I don’t vaccinate but that’s our choice and I respect everyone’s choices!! You do what’s best for your children and that’s all you can do.
You should be in jail.
Well done - I regret injecting my children. I wouldn't even inject my dog now.
I LOVE BEING A MEMBER OF YOUR LANDING CREW! I totally understand you totally.
I absolutely hear you. This is an educated and researched decision by you. I appreciate you sharing this sensitive issue. I support you and your decision. My daughter’s best friend has 2 children, both vaccinated and one has Autism one does not. My best friend’s sister has 4 children, 1 has Autism 3 do not. I think the cause is much more complicated and parents obviously want to find something to be the cause and obviously prevent it from happening again, just like diabetes. I love that your focus is on embracing and loving the uniqueness of each of your children and how wonderful they are. When I see some parents caught up focusing on campaigning continually against vaccines and being so angry that they sit in anger constantly, by being so wrapped up with picketing, going to DC, etc, it’s like all the life gets sucked out of them instead of the wonderful time they could be spending with their beautiful children. I’m going to use an extreme analogy here, what if a child had cancer and was going through treatment? The parents were devastated by the diagnosis and wanted to warn other parents of how they feel their child MAY have gotten cancer, so they go on a Campaign to let everyone know. However, during this time, their child is going through treatment and they are busy with the campaign which takes time away from their child. Who loses in this situation? They both do, but the child loses the most and as parents we are responsible for giving the best care, love and comfort to our children. If we are in a place of anger, how does that help our child. We lose the time we could be spending with our child and our child loses essential bonding, developmental growth, certain skills, recovery and God forbid if he/she were to pass away, they have lost TIME a with their precious child. That was just an analogy of what fear and anger can do, but research is constantly being done about the causes of Autism, there are always opportunities to go to a meeting or read, listen online, etc to hear the latest research. I think you have done such an amazing job at educating yourself and yet not become such an obsessed anti vaccine person or anti whatever that it controls your life. You focus on your amazing kids and love them completely for who they are. I know this is a long post but I think you are to be commended!
It’s hard to be a parent this day and age! We question everything we do whereas our parent’s generation generally always trusted authorities and experts.
Thank you for being sensitive to us mamas who’ve had a child v injured and later diagnosed with ASD. We did tons of testing for our boy too, and saw multiple specialists. We no longer vaccinate because of this, but I totally agree that we’re just doing the best we can. I also, 100% believe that your situation is genetic. I believe when you say you saw ASD signs in Liam since birth. ❤️ With or without autism, my son is the most amazing little human I know, and I am so eternally grateful for him 🥰
Absolutely 🥰 vaccine injury is real and I’d never try to minimize someone else’s experience just because it’s different than my own.
I'm sorry you felt nervous to post on this subject but I understand completely. For me the topic of vaccinations is one I never bring up because people can be so rude and condescending. I personally do not believe that vaccinations cause autism. And I am of the belief that Informed decision making is best. Vaccinations are a choice for better health just like eating healthy and exercising are. NO ONE should be ashamed, belittled, or harassed for making an informed decision for their family. I made am informed decision not to vaccinate my kids. I NEVER bring up the subject because most people act like I have committed a crime. I even had to change doctors because I wasn't allowed to make decisions that went against the status quo.
You do such an amazing job explaining things. I really think you do a great job being respectful ♥️
This was a great video Steph! Everything was said so well & thoroughly. Btw, you look great! ❤️
I totally support you guys and love your content! I think your kids are adorable. Autism is mostly genetic but it can be caused by certain vaccines. I’ve never had a single vaccine in my entire life and I still get sick now and then. I feel like people should treat everyone equally no matter what they believe in. People bully my mom and tell my parents that they are raising us wrong for not vaccinating us, but we try not to let it bother us. It doesn’t bother me one bit if someone chooses to vaccinate their kids. Just whatever they feel comfortable doing. Thank you for being so open and comfortable sharing this with RUclips. It takes a lot of courage to do that. I love you guys! Merry late Christmas, and happy new year! 🎆🎈🎊
Tried editing it. Autism is genetic, but can be caused by some vaccines. Your point of view is good and more people need to hear about this.
The "things" they put in the shots got worse after the 2 oldest were born..
My 3rd child was born 12 months later then my 4th one had NO vaccines until he was starting to be assessed... try again LOL.
I have to say I disagree with some of the things you said but I respect your opinion and also want to thank you for being so respectful with your words and for not making any claims in this video. More people should be able to speak about vaccines how you just did, without arguments, accusations and anger.
And that's okay! It's okay for others to be like "nope, I got a different opinion" or "I see things differently" and not attack each other so thank YOU for being so respectful in your response :)

I also think autism is genetic. My oldest son was diagnosed with autism at age 9. My youngest son was diagnosed just after he turned 5. After learning everything I have about autism over the last 4 years, I feel pretty confident in saying that I believe there are a lot more members of my family who are on the spectrum than just them, including me. They’re different from each other, but they have some similar traits. But some of these things they’ve had since they were born. Whether or not I vaccinated them, they always have been autistic.
Also, both my kids held their heads up from the day they were born.
I love this video! I love that you considered both sides and weren’t mean about it. Some people are totally mean about the vaccine thing because they think vaccines cause autism. I know one person that is vaccine injured and that person is in a wheelchair. But he is fearfully and wonderfully made. That’s what God said. So anyone telling you that you shouldn’t or should vaccinate your children…it’s none of their business. It’s your personal decision. And I’m glad that you were able to learn more about your child’s condition and how it affects them. I have a question: is Noah better now than he used to be with his cognitive skills? Because he always seemed to me to have low needs. I know you said he can read at a 4th grade level. My mom worked with someone who has a son with autism and intellectual disabilities. He reminds me of Noah. But Noah has low muscle tone and he doesn’t. Every child is different. Every child has their own personalities and traits. You can’t another child. I have 18q- and cystic fibrosis. They are both genetic disorders. One is hereditary and one is not. No child can have all the symptoms of a condition. Another question: have ya’ll had the opportunity to meet other kids/individuals with the condition? It’d probably help Noah and Lex and maybe Liam and Nellie when they’re older. They usually have conferences where you can learn about it and stuff. I go to a conference almost every summer to learn more about my condition and meet new friends and old friends. This year it’s in San Antonio, the home of the registry. The registry is Chromosome 18 Registry and Research Society. It’s a support group. There is also a support group with cystic fibrosis, but you have to be 6 feet apart from someone else with it because you can make each other sick. The movie Five Feet Apart is about this concept. I recommend anybody without cystic fibrosis to watch this movie to see how hard it is for people with cystic fibrosis. We have to do treatments and take medicines that are debilitating to us. We have to get up every morning to do our treatments and I am waiting for a cure to my 18q- and cystic fibrosis. For now, I think God has blessed me for this life. I don’t want to have 18q- and cystic fibrosis, but I live every day with these disorders and I wouldn’t change a thing. Well, thanks for sharing! Have a great day!
Thank you so much for your thoughtful explaination about your family and Autism!! Our grandson who is 10 was newly diagnosed with Autism. His uncle has it too, so my feeling is it is genetics.
Love your videos, you are doing great and you make things so easy to understand, thank you again 🥳
Love your transparency we all are learning and growing ! I totally agree with you
Great, respectful video Stephanie! I stumbled across your channel a couple of months ago and have been loving your content! We're not officially diagnosed, but myself and a number of my children clearly fit on the ASD. It has also been gently, lovingly pointed out by friends as well. I believe that autism has always been around. In Celtic folklore there have always been stories about Changelings, which could possibly have been a way for families to explain their ASD child. It's just a thought! ;) Have a great day!
My oldest hit all his milestones but at 3 he has regressed on some of his milestones. He is considered high functioning he is a thriving 10 year old. But my little one who is 2 was showing signs at 6 months and continued to not meet milestones. He was diagnosed at 18months but developmental pediatrics with level 2 autism completely different from my oldest
Thank you for making this video and being open enough to change your mind on an issue after you learn more about it and mature.
I don't understand why my parents force me to vaccinate me. I don't trust it because of aallergic reactions and I am genetic for autism. I'm an adult and they still make me have vaccines. However, I see why people freak out. Thank you for your help and advice
Same here. This is why if I had my way if you have any plans to get The vaccine than we can’t friends.
If you are an adult, nobody can force you to take vaccines or have any medical procedures. You can refuse, and not give consent.
If you're an adult, you dont have to do what they try to force onto you.
I feel like this video was very informative and eye opening, because not everybody has the insight that you have about autism and a lot of people are still scared to death just like you were in the beginning when you didn't really know anything about it and you thought the same thing that possibly it was from vaccines and so you experimented with it and ruled it out. People that don't know still don't know though and they're still scared. Anyways that's what I gathered from it. Thank you for making these videos. They're really helpful.
I know antivaxxers who first said it was the DPT that caused Autism. Then they said it was the MMR. I knew someone with an autistic daughter who was on the National Autism board and she explained it to me and I fully believe it is genetic--AdHd too.
ADHD is for sure genetic. Many people on my dad’s side, including my dad, have ADHD. My nephew was diagnosed with ADHD, and I am certain that I have that too.
My son is in the process of getting evaluated. I’m thinking he’s gonna have mild autism/ADHD
I suspect the mild autism is from his dads side.
So yeah, I believe it’s all genetic
I have a little boy named Logan who just turned 3 and he just received his autism diagnosis (in CA they don't diagnosis till 3) and I also have a little boy named Weston who is 19 mo ths and "neurotypical".
Logan is up to date on his vaccines, but Weston hasn't received any vaccinations because he was born April 2020 when Covid hit so just received his very 1st vaccines and then we stopped going to dr. Appts because we weren't leaving the house.
Is it bad that I'm afraid to continue with Westons vaccinations? Because he doesn't have an autism diagnosis and not showing any signs after evaluations and Assessments.... I have to admit I am still so nervous to keep moving forward with his vaccinations bc he is "neurotypical" and just what if I did get him vaccinated and then it triggers his bc being from the same parents he may cary the same genes (I also believe it is genetic)... im just afraid what if the vaccine triggers it? Does that make sense? I'm just q super scared mama who wants the best for my boys and am nervous but also realize Weston wouldn't be able to go to school in CA unless he is vaccinated.
I guess I say this to see if anyone had another "typical" child after having a child with autism and had them vaccinated and they didn't effect their child at all...? Or does anyone else have/or had these same fears?
Hi @dawndanelle3488, I am curious why did you decide? I also some concerns.
Very, very well put. We’re all just trying to do our best for our own children. You have a beautiful family. ❤️
New to your channel but I really enjoy watching you and your content
Thank you Jenny! And welcome to our family :)
I believe it’s genetic and I can admit I’m sure my kid got it from my side of the family. No one in our family is formally diagnosed but times were different but I can definitely see the characteristics
This was definitely NEEDED!
Thank you for sharing. I just want to add that environment can also play a role in genetic expression. My son is 20 months old and he hasn't been officially diagnosed yet however I can see many red flags for sensory processing disorder and possibly autistic spectrum. Personally, I had a very stressful pregnancy with both psychological and physical stressors. There was no history of autism in the family. I have decided to delay vaccines until he develops speech.
I agree with EVERYTHING you say on this video. I truly think that it’s genetic
Personal choice 🇺🇸
Thanks for your honesty and sensitivity in this area, you are so brave to tackle challenging issues.
Great job explaining this!! Love to you all!!
The only thing that's upsetting to me is the fact that you feel the need to specify that it was your opinion or your past opinion. I totally understand why you're doing it. It's just so sad that people are so quick to gaslight and make you out to be an awful person. You go though mama, so proud of you!
I've been doing this long enough to know that it has to be overly explained or someone will jump to xyz assumption. Heck, even with everything I specify people still be jumping to opinions LOL
I have autism, though with no intellectual disability, so I seem neurotypical until I try to make friends or become overstimulated. Then again, I’m autistic, so it’s possible I only think I look neurotypical due to wishful thinking 😉.
Personally, with respect of everyone here, I believe mine is genetic. I had strabismus at birth along with a congenital collagen disorder, which are both foretelling and comorbid of Autism disorders.
Anyway, I got my Covid vaccines and my booster with very little regard for whether or not it causes autism. It’s just never occurred to me, for my personal experience, because I already have it. And even if it did cause autism, what’s the vaccine going to do to already-Autistic-and-ADHD kids and adults? Cause *more* autism (joke)?
Happy holidays to you guys!
I think I'm Autistic, too; I'm 54 now, but I was told that I didn't speak until right before my 5th birthday, then one day it was like a switch was flipped, and I was talking and somewhat sociable. Still working on the sociable😂
My friends describe me as quirky.
Your doing great at explaining and giving your opinion 😎👌 very fasinating information.
Hi, Stephanie! Thank you so very much for posting these amazing videos and sharing your beautiful life and gorgeous children with us! I have a quick question - can you please tell me where you got that great picture on the wall behind you? It's in a lot of your videos. We NEED one of those! :-) Thanks, again! You guys are doing a GREAT job! And, don't let anyone tell you differently. If they do, they don't have and love an autistic child. :-)
We delayed vaccines with our first child as well and he was diagnosed with autism before he had any.
Everyone has there own choices and you were 100% with everything you needed to say in this video i absolutely agree with you
You explained everything very well. You do what's best for your family. I have two with Autism
Very well said. I don’t think one size fits all and that there are a number of factors involved. Some may be environmental, vaccine injury, genetic, or maybe in the food. No one knows for sure but I do know one thing I love my autistic son and wouldn’t change him for anything.
Also agree with funding research on how to support and help!
Thank you for your outlook. What are the “environmental” factors that cause autism?
Autism definitely runs in my family. Some of My cousins, my brother has it. I am realizing i am probably high functioning. 2 kids with autism and 1 grand child possibly 2. . All high functioning.
Love this video!! 🥰
Can I ask how you got the testing to see if you Carry the gene for autism… my son was pretty advanced the first year after he turned 13 months that’s when he stopped talking and having eye contact to lost balance and going around in circles for a good hr… he was diagnosed at 2 1/2
The kids' geneticist ordered it.
Very well said and honestly super helpful! Also we share a name 🥰 thank you for this very informative video
I vaccinated both mine. My first is on the spectrum. And I personally don’t believe it’s caused by vaccines. But, if it were, I would’ve still vaccinated her. She’s absolutely perfect the way she is.
I love this comment ♥️ you are so right.
And as an RN who has done research on vaccine/autism link..vaccines don’t cause autism. There is zero scientific proof to prove otherwise.
Same thing only my first is neurotypical and my second is autistic. I too would still have vaccinated. My son is also perfection.
@@Michele-bm1zu exactly!
Amazing video! So many amazing points because there is so much that’s unknown about autism ❤️ i adore u and ur kiddos. My son is “typical” whatever that means but he has many friends who arnt typical so he can realize that everyone is different and still are awesome friends!
Not related to the topic. But i love how your hair looks today :)
Could you share another video with your opinion of tests of heavy metals in your experience with your family? Thanks!
I once heard a doctor I think a cardiologist on RUclips casually say that heavy metals are linked to autism but they won't research it very much. Disheartening to say the least. I have heard that heavy metal detox called chelation helps a lot of people.
Great information!
Very well said!! You are such a beautiful family!
Hey steph it's been a while since I've been on younow and on anything. I just wanted to tell you that I've been trying to stay off of a lot of social media . Cuz of a lot of drama about me and rumors the only thing I really watch is RUclips now. and plus I've been really busy with school trying to get my education, so I barely have time to even attempt to get on social media. but I can say this you are very positive and a very loving and caring person and that's what I love about you
I had my now adult autistic son vaccinated. He has a genetic disorder that caused his autism, in addition to other disabilities.
I love you, you are such a great mum and it’s obvious that you love your kids so all the haters can go and do one 😂😂❤️❤️
It’s amazing that “study” that made the claim was ruled as false yet some still see it as gospel. The more I learn about it the more I also think sometimes it’s parents clinging onto something after a diagnosis out of fear.
My sister is vaccine injured, happened when I was 9 weeks old, and we are both 99% vaccinated, our gp gives advice and we follow that.
My personal issue with that is that even if you were born genetically with “autism”, there is no way to know if the vaccines could make things even worse. I personally don’t trust the vaccines but am a pro choice and respect each and every family decision to do what is best for them.
My son is 14.5 and has Aspergers like my husband and me. We definitely saw a regression after the vaccines and took him off completely after his 9 months vaccinations. When he was about 8 he had lots of adhd symptoms and school recommended us to medicate him. We did for about two years but then he regressed even more and started showing aggression towards school stuff. School recommended us to switch meds but we decided to take him completely off and take a more holistic route. The holistic dr did many tests on him and he did have high metal in his system. The homeopathic route took a long time and big non support from the school about our decision. Now he is homeschooled (started 3 months after the closed all schools for Covid).
Having him home is a blessing and he is thriving. He always hated going to school anyway so I don’t blame him 😊
Namaste 🙏🏻
In my experience I don't think vaccines made my Autism worse because I never regressed, I just didn't progress in certain areas at the milestone age e.g. I never crawled at all and didn't start walking until a month before my 2nd birthday. Also in school I was delayed with motor skills. So likely hood is all the skills that were delayed would have probably been delayed regardless of being vaccinated
I have a disability that on the scale of autism mine aren’t that bad but I do see some things on what I do
I also believe its genetic bc everyone in my fam is vaccinated even long distance relatives are and nobody has autism. One of my friends on the other hand who hasnt vaccinated her kids has two of them with autism and I think it comes from her husbands fam. Either way a person with autism can still live a healthy and productive life.
Can you tell which genetics labwork you did for yourself and the kids? We have 4 of our 5 kids with autism and we still don't know the underlying genetic cause. We did baseline labs that tested for 21 things but it all came back totally normal. So frustrating. 💗
Chromosomal Microarray Test
@@OurLANDingCrew8 thank you. That's what our children had. 💗
I enjoyed listening to this video and like many others have commented, it was very respectful. My son is on the spectrum and we learned that his is not genetic. We never suspected it to be genetic based on what we witnessed happening to him. He went through genetic testing twice, once for personal reasons and the second for a research study where a genetic component had to be ruled out in order to qualify for the study. I agree that it is important to focus on helping children who have been diagnosed to receive treatment so that their struggles can be minimized. That is my hope and prayer for my son. I just don't want to see him struggle.
Ironically perhaps, between myself and my two siblings, as far as I know my parents only got one of us vaccinated, the one they got vaccinated is, as far as we know, not autistic, while myself and my sibling who was also not vaccinated, are both autistic. So if we're going to use my family as an example, you could actually argue it appears vaccines PREVENT autism. To be clear, I don't believe that is actually the case, among other reasons, because I did get my daughter vaccinated and yet she still inherited my autism, just as I likely inherited from my mom and she from her dad based on their own autism red flags (though neither have been formally diagnosed), so it does appear to just be genetic and that vaccines have no impact on it one way or the other, but I can't help but laugh when people suggest vaccines cause autism, being in a family where the only sibling who was vaccinated, is the only one who doesn't appear to have inherited our mothers autism.
I absolutely love when people say that a lot of doctors are autistic, so vaccines don't cause autism, autism causes vaccines!
I was vaccinated and I'm autistic, but I don't think that's got anything to do with it at all, since current research shows that autism is something you're born with; a difference in how the brain functions. Without being autistic, I wouldn't even be close to being who I am today, I'd be an entirely different person
Excellent. Well done
This was well explained. Every child is different and I think like you said that there are many different causes of autism. Love your videos.
I think it every parents choice.
Captions aren’t working :(
Wise words, mom,
Hey have a disability that may or may not be genetically related. And yes I have been vaccinated since was little. Abs I’m not Austic it’s a brain mix up as far as my know. Yes I was tested at the time for Austum but didn’t have it I do have developmental disabilities.
Ah, this is what I've been wondering since I subscribed and felt you must have answered this already.
I believe the genetics reason and I question if lack of socialization early in life could be a cause. I have been learning about how things were done way back then when they shoved Autistic kids in asylums. This was allowed until the 90's. Now this is when people who believe the vaccines cause autism start the argument; all the vaccines they added in the 90's, but remember I said asylums were deemed illegal so now all these people are in society.
The sad thing is with all the research; until we ban all vaccines, yet there's still autism; people are going to argue this is why autism is on the rise. You could show pages and pages of research proving genetics, but oh no it's nonsense unless you say "yes, my child's DNA was f'd up thanks to vaccines." 🤦♀️ I've even found claims from the Amish saying they have autism in the community. I think we're just at the early stages of proper research rather than hiding people who "don't function correctly" in asylums. I think this is going to be something else that people will always argue about. Other research I've found; autism is considered before other conditions with the same characteristics and the claim we're all a little autistic.
Very good video 👌🏽
I had a vaccine injury, but I was still fully vaccinated except for the pertussis. It was evident I had an "injury". I'm still pro vaxx all around 💗
Hi Cristina, can I ask what kind of injury? Thank you!
Dumb
It’s in our family…
Thank you for this video. I am currently pregnant with my 3rd and recently found out there was an abnormality in my 18 week scan and I am beating myself up over the fact I got the covid vaccine while pregnant and when you said even if it was from the vaccine that doesn't change anything and that hit me like a ton of bricks. My dr said it has no correlation but I can't help but second guess my choice.
Hoping everything goes well for you and baby ❤️ . I have really felt for those who are pregnant / nursing these days . Just a lot to think about .
It's such a hard time to be a mom. So many opinions, so many options and none of them are easy or really "good". Only worry about what you can change. That's been my motto to get me through the really dark times.
My daughter got the covid vaccine when she was pregnant. My granddaughter is 10 months old, is on track and super funny and cute. Her best friend is a Developmental Pediatrician. She said that they have more and more new parents coming in and the waiting list is long, from parents worried their baby has Autism from the Covid Vaccine. There is also no direct link from the Covid vaccine to Autism. She looked at my granddaughter who is 10 months as well and said she was fine. My daughter was not at all concerned about the Covid vaccine causing Autism, she was concerned why she was on her hands and knees but not yet crawling, (she I diagnosed as, new mommy syndrome, lol). Jaime (the Developmental Pediatrician just gave us lots of information when she visited us. Jaime has 2 sons, one has Autisim. Both fully vaccinated. As parents it is always moms who blame ourselves when anything happens to our children. In my tiny opinion, look at how (if your baby has Autism), how you can nurture, help with development, get early intervention and get some therapy for the guilt you feel because you didn’t “do this to your beautiful baby”. Focus on loving him/her and put all that energy toward you feeling better and the great mom you are going to be of that incredible baby!
I had all my injections And have a syndrome I’m really scared of injections
Hi you are so right that kids can die from the sicknesses that the shots protect them from but they don’t die from autism. You’re a great mama and did the right thing ❤
Bravo I agree with you about where it comes from and why I say we spend that money on helping children grow into they want to become and helping families get resources so their children can meet their potential. To me I think it's all the crap they put it in our food that's caused Jean abnormalities to be honest I mean we eat so much crap the other countries don't allow in their food but here our country does but I could be wrong I don't know I'm not a scientist I'm just a mother of an autistic child who could possibly be autistic herself
