I work with another parent that is sure also its the thimerosal that caused her son's ASD - however he was only 4 when I worked with him...
He had never had the flu shot (they (usually) don't give the thimerosal ones to under 4 or 5 years old depending on insurance or the PCP, they give the 'fresh' vaccine it comes out of a fridge- if your vaccine was cold, it didn't have thimerosal in it that is the same one used in pregnant mothers )
There is no convincing her that the shots didn't have the thimerosal, although the shock to his system for the vaccinations may have caused an immune reaction (he went 105*F feverish) or he's allergic to some other substance in vaccines.
I'm getting my son vaccinated on schedule- but I insist on 'fresh' vaccines and one at a time with a two week break.
I can look up the lot numbers and everything- this is more expensive however I'm OOP for the difference.
She does have mercury based fillings and that might have doe it- or she used to live near one of those Superfund sites, or the high tension power lines, and genetics all combined...
Or we've messed up or bodies with so many preservatives and other things that strange things are happening.
Say- I'm looking into something for other ppl on spectrum (I am) could you pm me and tell me if you are 'extra strong' and have 'bad eyes' one of my 7 year old ASD students said... "but we are all strong like hulk- mean sometimes and have to squint to see" I know those fit me even tho I am small overall (5'2")
