    Let me clarify my last post.

    We stopped vaccinations on my 2nd child at 7-9 months. My kids are 2 years apart in age. So all our research and fact finding was fresh on our minds as our 1st child was already diagnosed. Everything lead us to the MMR shot. I'm not saying that the MMR shot causes Autism, but it's got a mean streak with a child who has an unknowingly weak immune system. I don't rule out that my children have something planted in them from my ex wife and myself. She has a son from another marriage that is perfectly normal. Am I willing to take that chance, probably not with someone else? Probably not. What if my next wife has the same ingredient as my last one. My hope would be that research finds out what it is, so Parents can be tested and know the risks.

    Things that should be done:
    1. Test infants for immune system deficiencies
    2. If they have the above, don't pressure the parent into getting 3 shots in 1. Think about how fragile a baby is in the 1st couple years of life. Pump them up with the MMR and some can't handle it, and like I said before, the doctors don't care and wash their hands clean of any bad results.

    In the end, the MMR shot may not be the direct cause, but clearly puts stress on the child, which activates the Autism.
