Did Everyone with Autism get the measels vaccination?

Post Reply New Topic

I grew up in the l960's and had whatever vaccinations they gave back the. But I did have the measles when I was small, so I'm pretty sure I never had that vaccination. But I didn't get autism through vaccinations. I inherited it. My mother and my maternal grandfather were clearly Aspergian and they probzbly never had any vaccinations at all.Wake up! Its genetic.
Stop worrying about how you "got it" and work on living life to the fullest even though autistic.

There was no measles vac when I was little. I had measles, I had chickenpox, I had mumps. I got all the standard vacs though, but it is silly to imagine that it caused my AS when I have the family history, plus most of my peers received the same vacs and didnt get AS.

All my children are vaccinated with every vaccine on the market, except for flu.

Only one of my kids has Asperger's Syndrome. That's 25% if we're surveying likelihood of "contracting" AS from vaccinations based only on my kids. Yet, I have Asperger's Syndrome. It's very likely that other family members in past generations had Asperger's Syndrome or another Autism Spectrum Disorder based on stories about their behavior. Some of them were vaccinated completely, some were vaccinated sparingly, some weren't vaccinated because such things hadn't existed. This evidence, if you choose to acknowledge it, suggests a stronger likelihood of heredity being a culprit, rather than a post-birth chemical injection.

However, based on your past comments in this thread, you're more likely to ignore my comment entirely or push your-point-that's-somehow-not-your-point by asking another leading question about AS and vaccinations.

I am in my 40s, I have AS, and I didn't get vaccinated for measles till I was in my 20s, when I had to for my job (I work in health care and never was vaccinated and never had the disease). I obviously had AS well before then.
