If your child was diagnosed with autism within a year of being vaccinated, would you let any subsequent children be vaccinated? Why or why not?

Okay I am not sure if this is true but I have heard that the reason some children develop autism after vaccinations is because they are allergic to something in the vaccine. Supposedly you can test your child for that allergy before getting them vaccinated. If this is accurate that is what I would do.

Yes of course! I do not necessarily believe autism comes from vaccinations. Trust me, I've been vaccinated for my whole life so far, and so has my sister. I do have Asperger's, but when we look at it, even though I was diagnosed late, the symptoms really were there since I was a young child. Besides, if there is a chance of them getting autism it's probably very small and I'm sure the benefits outweigh the risks in getting the vaccine.

Yes. Just because my child ate ice cream that year, does it mean I shouldn't let my subsequent children have it? Ok, that's extreme, but just because that's the year the child is *diagnosed* it doesn't mean the child didn't have the condition before then. There's no conclusive evidence to suggest that there IS a link between MMR and other vaccines and Autism, and even if the vaccine had triggered something in my first child, it doesn't mean it would do the same in my second.

Unless, I'm provided with proof that there is a connection between the two events, I won't assume there is one.

If I believed that my child had been developmentally "normal" beforehand and then was not following the vaccination. I would not. Contrary to the popular propaganda most of the diseases they are vaccinating against are NOT fatal and are not nearly as destructive as autism. I would not be able to look at my child who's life was forever altered by their autism and willingly take that big of a chance again with another child.
