My kids had the separate jabs as i was worried about the possible link reported between the mmr and autism as it turned out, they are both autistic anyway!
the gp has said that the boys need their boosters and that the seperate ones are not available any more (unless we travel to france, which we couldnt afford!) so they should have the mmr booster and he said --
"I don't believe there is a link between the mmr and autism, but even if there was you might as well let your children have the booster because (here he laughed a little, a 'chorkle'!) its not as though it could make them any more autistic, and it will ensure their protection"
so since i withheld the mmr pointlessly should i just let them have the booster? i felt ever so upset when he said it couldnt make them any more autistic (i dont know why that upset me, it just seemed so cruel) but i guess he's right. Is he?
Here are some suggested organisations that offer expert advice on special needs.
SN children
MMR Booster ???
