Have come across this very worrying new report regarding links with Autism and the MMR due to an underlying condition called Mitochondrial Dysfunction.
www.express.co.uk/posts/view/112286/Doctor-s-MMR-fears
My DS1 is 5.8 and was diagnosed with ASD at 3. DS2 is 10 months old & is due his MMR in a few months time.
I really don't know what to do as can't afford to pay for the single jabs, but don't want my son to be unprotected.
Prices to have these vaccines privately (I'm sure not many of us could afford these !!) Measles - ÂŁ95
Rubella - ÂŁ95
Mumps - ÂŁ140
Prevenar - ÂŁ60
I personally feel that as parents of children with ASD, we should automatically be offered the single vaccines for any younger children we have, or at least a test for Mitochondrial Dysfunction. Do you agree ?
Opinions please ???
Here are some suggested organisations that offer expert advice on special needs.
