Will your child get autism even thou you didn't?

Question

if you get all the vaccines when your born and you didn't get autism, and you have a child and you didnt give any vaccines to that child and he does get autism, DOES THIS MEAN THAT THE VACCINES IN A MOTHER THAT DIDNT GET AUTISM, MAY CAUSE HER CHILD WITHOUT ANY VACCINES CAUSE AUTISM JUST BECAUSE IT PASS DOWN WHATS LEFT TO HER CHILD????

Answer 1

Didn't Kim Stagliano make this claim?



She has 3 kids with autism, the youngest isn't vaccinated, yet she still blames vaccines....as it could have been passed on from her as a result of the vaccines she had. I'm not joking.



And no, vaccines don't cause Autism, period.



Edit: Wakefield produced a very flawed paper, suggesting a link between the MMR and autism. It's since been thoroughly discredited.

To be very blunt, there's not even a statistical link between the two, much less a biological one.



Edit: It's not about proportioning blame on the parents. That it seems to have a strong genetic basis is not anyones fault.



Heidi never provides any evidence to support her claims.

Wakefield is blowing smoke. If he was innocent, he would have sued Deer. He tried and failed.



Thorsen is accused of financial fraud, not scientific fraud. Additionally, he wasn't even the lead author. Even ignoring that study, there are numerous studies in other countries all showing no link.



And there's no link between the MMR and Autism.

Edit: Mrs A said, "And looks like there have been concerns in the UK about the MMR long before Andrew Wakefield, MD."



And none of them are valid.

Answer 2

Your child could have autism even if the mother doesn't. But vaccines are not to blame. Andrew Wakefield wrote a fake study that "proved" that vaccines caused autism. No other scientist has been able to prove it, and his subjects were paid. His paper was discredited. Vaccines do not cause autism.



Unvaccinated children can also have autism, if that's what the capital letter part of your question is asking... but it's not because of the vaccines the mother received. Currently we do not know what causes autism, but we do know it isn't vaccines.

Answer 3

To call genetics as a cause of autism "blaming the parent" shows psychological difficulties not clear thinking. There is no need to grab at vaccines to assuage the "guilt" that is not needed in the first place. Scapegoating is not based on facts it is only based on emotion. Listen to your family physician, they went through years of schooling and internship to help the average busy family make decisions, not to convince you to buy something; unlike nearly **all** the anti-vaccines site. If a website is trying to sell you something I would move on to a fact-based site. Oh, and BTW listen to all the people with answers here NOT blaming vaccines.

Answer 4

The whole vaccines and Autism story doesn't really have any scientific proof, kids started showing signs of Autism after vaccines, that can easily just be natural development of the disorder, so I wouldn't accept it as an absolute truth just yet.



Especially since the science is clear, Autism isn't caught, it's genetic.



Get your kid the vaccines though, the likelihood of anything happening is so low, it's negligible(especially since you've shown for generations you're not sensitive to Autism). And the likelihood of 25% child death is very high if we wouldn't get our kids vaccinated(it's the part that usually gets left out, how many lives it actually saves).

Answer 5

You are aware Andrew Wakefield's paper was retracted, his medical license was revoked for ethical violations and he probably committed fraud, right?



No one has ever been able to replicate this results. He was wrong.



Edit: Thorsen was 5th and 6th author on two papers. That means he contributed practically nothing. Financial fraud is not scientific fraud. For scientists, the latter is far, far worse. Fraudlent data wastes everyone's time and money. Which is what happened with Wakefield. He probably put autism research back a decade with vaccines being a red herring.



If guilty, Thorsen still deserves punishment, but conflating his crime with Wakefield's is incredibly dishonest.



Additionally, Mrs. A is apparently incapable of reading that study. Genetics is still the prime factor in autism, more so in some types than others.

Answer 6

The cause of autism hasn't been found out yet. They blamed vaccines,TV shows, even pet shampoo.

Answer 7

Vaccines don't cause autism in any way, shape, or form. Although vaccines have contained harmful substances in the past, there has never been a link with autism. The study which originally proposed the link was not carried out properly, and has been officially retracted. The exact source of autism is not known yet, though genetics appear to be a factor.



People that don't have autism can have children with autism, yes. People with autism can also have children without autism. However, it seems you can be predisposed to having kids with autism: parents that have had one child with autism are more likely to have another with autism.

Answer 8

Vaccines do not cause autism. There is no evidence to suggest that it does and evidence to suggest not immunizing is dangerous. Vaccines help wipe out diseases. When people stop getting vaccinated the disease spread and people die. I believe it was measles that was nearly wiped out. However since the notoriously dodgy piece of 'research' came out children have died as a result of not being vaccinated.



We do not know what causes autism but we are fairly sure we know what doesn't.



There seems to be some sort of genetic link, but then in some cases there will be only one case.



Do some research on reputable sites. Avoid newsletters or forums set up by people who are not educated but scaremongering.

Answer 9

Stanford University has done a study on fraternal twins and autism.

Looks like the environmental factors are ahead of the genes, so stop blaming the parents.

And looks like there have been concerns in the UK about the MMR long before Andrew Wakefield, MD.

Answer 10

Autism is caused by immune dysfunction. Vaccines, smog, electrosmog, pathogens, toxins, pesticides, etc. all cause immune dysfunction. If you know someone who has autism, then go to one of the numerous websites on autism recovery to learn all about how to rid the symptoms of it. It appears to be a permanent condition, related to MS, ALS, chronic fatigue, arthritis, etc. It has to do with poor circulation through the neck and immune dysfunction. Thousands have been recovered enough to be indistinguishable from peers, my children included. It appears that most need to stay on things to boost the immune system, help detox and improve circulation as well as avoid immune stressors in order to not relapse. And keep in mind that those who have not recovered a child from autism, don't have enough merit to show that they know anything about autism, so their opinion is just that. You need to get your information only from those who have actually been successful at recovering children from autism. Seriously, would you get your opinion on how to become rich from a bum? Thus, stick to the experts who have actually recovered children, for they actually have the results showing that they know the real truth. That is how I recovered mine, I sought out those who actually recovered children, and did what they said. Unfortunately, what I learned was so shocking, that it's really unbelievable, but obviously true.



As for the Wakefield hype "some" keep talking about, here are some links about that:

Odd how "some" keep bashing Wakefiled when all he was found guilty of was testing children for measles, while, a top researcher claiming vaccines are not related to autism, is being charged with fraud and theft of grant money for research. Hmmm.

Answer 11

It hasn't got anything to do with Vaccines and vaccines will kill you . trust me I have done my homework on this



Autism is something that gets passed down its not common though,



it could be passed through the gene of 5 decades it's strange though but I wouldn't worry about it happening to your children.
