Hi
Sorry if this has been done already somewhere. My specific query is relates to any possible link between allergies and autism.
I am aware that being egg allergic my 14 month old could have an allergic reaction and so we have been advised to have it done in hospital.
Research seems to indicate that MMR is safe in the vast majority of children. However there may be some children who may be predisposed to develop autism for whom it is not safe.
My worry is whether being atopic (and so having a faulty (for want of a better word) immune system makes a child predisposed to develop autism/ bowel disorders?
Does anyone know anything about this? I am so confused as to what to do as having single vaccines would preclude her from having the jabs in hospital which is clearly the safest place should an anaphylactic reaction occur.
