Ok, I have a question. I thought about this the other day. Do the increasing amount of vaccinations children are told to receive have anything to do with increasing number of children with autism?

50 years ago, not many for me. 30 years ago, maybe a couple new ones added. But now, it seems children are told to get shot after shot, even for something not life threatening normally.

I know this next statement will sound mean or cruel, but it is faced by parents of severely disabled children. When you see programs about how autistic children are being helped, it can give one a warm fuzzy feeling to see a cute child smiling, making great progress. But what is not shown is what will happen when that child grows into an adult. At a time when most parents are having their children leave the nest, parents of children with such disabilities cannot look forward most times to an independent adult, and face being permanent caretakers of the child. More children with autism means more families having to face this situation.
