I had a client like that. I got close to the family and after an “ethical break” after I left the company, have continued a close friendship with them. Little guy was talking clearly, no hand flapping, no house-destroying tantrums, starting to potty train...then at 2 and a half the bottom fell out. Regressed horribly. Diagnosed by 3. You can’t tell me “oh that’s just autism, it pops up around that age”...if there’s something wrong with the brain, why were there normal abilities and met milestones before the onset of symptoms?!? For him it was vaccines. For my little cousin, who was never vaccinated, his mother noticed head banging and stimming with his fingers from the time he was a baby. Vaccines aren’t the only cause but they’re sure one of the BIGGEST. Sorry for the long post, it angers me so much that these families are suffering for doing what they think is right and vaccinating their kids.
