Like there is just one “Magic” cause to autism. As a father of two autistic children (now 18 and 20), in my case it is most likely genetic. When you watch your children, and then realize that their symptoms are things that you frequently see in yourself, only magnified x50 or x100, it is hard to blame another boogieman.

In my case, The fault is in ourselves, not in our stars.

“Like there is just one “Magic” cause to autism.”

Since we don’t know what causes it, we can’t say one way or the other.

A very good post. Thank you for sharing. Similar to your situation, I have two brothers and we all have children. Both of my brothers have autistic sons. I have three boys and a girl who are not. I have always believed that autism is BOTH hereditary AND triggerable. Both of my brothers followed the vaccine recommendations. I did not.

My sister in law is a nurse. She knew immediately after the MMR shot that things changed with my nephew. This is not to argue “vaccines cause autsim,” Or that “the MMR causes autism.” IMO, inherited genes makes some children more susceptible/likely to vaccine injury than others. Determining that would not undermine vaccines, but the industry is very resistant to it, as evidenced by this article and many others.

As a side note, I really wish people would stop centering the debate solely on whether or not vaccines cause or do not cause autism. As if proving that they do not somehow ends the debate regarding the insane vaccine recommendations and the injuries they cause. The truth is there are many types of serious neurological vaccine injuries that justify demanding better from the government/medical/vaccine industry.
