Subject: Re: Autism Author: Vicki (Autism IS on the rise!) [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 09:27:20 10/10/07 Wed In reply to: Kari 's message, "Autism" on 18:55:37 10/09/07 Tue A whole lot of people DO have some kind of autistic spectrum disorder! 1 in 166 children have it and many experts are saying that the numbers for boys are 1 in 100 boys will have it. These numbers are going up. It does make you wonder if there is something about vaccines when babies have to have so many more shots then they did even 10 years ago and autism in on the rise. I have a 17 year old son with Aspergers (an autistic spectrum disorder) so I have done some research on this subject. My advise for young mothers is to search for other options when it comes to the immunizations. What I mean by that is to talk to the doctor about seperating the shots and spreading them out further. I feel that they have too many "all in one" immunizations and it can't possibly be good for a young child's system. That's just my opinion on the matter. >Hello all... > >I have 8 week old twin boys.
