Double MMR jab

Did you hear that on the news today - a little boy is being 'tested' for autism after being given the MMR jab twice. When he received the 2nd dose his mother says he started acting differently. That all the news bulletin said.

MMR jab were do i begin - as some of you know my dd has cerebal palsy which was diagnoised in april -

She hadn't had her mmr jab when she was diagnoised as was told to wait and see what the specialist said - to make a long story short.

Had dd have had her mmr prior to the appointment the cause of her cp would have be logged as due to her mmr. (instead of the threatened miscarriage i'd had at 26weeks)

As this is often the case with many other children - they already have these conditons but because they are undiagnoised prior to the mmr - the mmr is put to blame -

I'm not saying that the mmr hasn't caused different conditions but 9time out of 10 the child already has the condition

Glad to hear all went well with your ds2 dinosaur. I am tending to think that if it is gong to be a big hassle we'll probably just go for the MMR for dd ...she is 19 months now and is at mums and toddlers groups so is in contact with other children. ds's autism has come from a genetic link I am sure. He has never had any antibiotics and nothing stronger than a dose of Nurofen. I am almost certain that dd is not autistic too... still a thought to go through with it though...
