Comments on: Are Vaccines responsible for Autism? http://specialedclassroom.com/2009/12/28/are-vaccines-responsible-for-autism/ Sun, 22 Apr 2012 20:49:53 -0700 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1 By: Traci http://specialedclassroom.com/2009/12/28/are-vaccines-responsible-for-autism/comment-page-1/#comment-804 Traci Wed, 06 Apr 2011 17:05:01 +0000 http://specialedclassroom.com/?p=781#comment-804 I am asking my same question as Miss Alondra is asking, if Autism is related to vaccinations, why did they not manifest themselves earlier? Why the sudden rise in Austim this past decade? I believe that it is a postive and encouraging sign that a lot of money is going into the research and intervention to help families out. I hope that one day we will have a cause and possibly better treatment or a cure.

My children and many more that I know have all been vaccinated, and have had no problem with autism. I do believe that it is in the genes somehow, and maybe due to a certain gene, vaccinations can play a part. My personal opinion is that vaccinations are not responsible for autism.

I agree with Deanna, I believe that it is exaggerated the amount of vaccinations that children are required to have during their childhood. According to many doctors, children need to have lots of vaccinations during their childhood...since they are just newborns. I hope these amount of vaccinations are not affecting children's health. I am glad to hear that researchers are still working hard!

Children are bombarded with many vaccinations in a short period of time even as infants who are still so young and unable to handle that much vaccinations.

I simply ask due to the cases where parents continue to have multiple children and the children all are diagnosed with Autism.

This question makes me doubt the direction that many researchers are taking. I agree with many of the other posts, that it is important to explore many other venues before taking a stand. Finding the answer is a slow and painful process, but it is better to take it slow than to come to a wrong conclusion.

It's great that the government is funding the research of Autism to stop assuming the cause of it and try to reach to the truth behind it and make the people more aware of it and how to help :) In my opinion, it’s very important to explore more to find the cause of Autism to help us discover the way to cure it and help minimize the number of people being diagnosed with it.

It linked vaccines such as MMR to behavioral problems such as autism. Here is the link to the article: http://www.npr.org/blogs/health/2010/02/lancet_wakefield_autism_mmr_au.html Are there any reliable longitudinal studies regarding the possible link between vaccines and autism? Is Wakefield's paper going to hurt the cause for further research or possibly encourage new, reliable research?

I don't believe that anyone should be making assumptions or placing blame in either direction until there is enough science behind it. It's great to see that autism is being made more aware, but as far as a cause for it, I think there should be more research. I am neither here nor there on the topic.
