Thanks for bringing your experience here. You should consider posting once in a while. We can always use more life experiences so we are not doomed to repeat what already failed.
I'm a generation behind you and I believe we had between 6 and 12 recommended vaccines when I grew up. After that I believe is when the autism diagnoses started showing up, and coincidentally (...) the number of recommended vaxxes started to rise.
If you chart the # of recommended vaccines over time and compare it to the autism rate there appears to be a correlation. Autism rate goes up with the # of vaccines. At any rate something is causing this alarming rate of autism in the current generation. For us, we went from following the vaccine schedule when our children were young to convincing them not to vaccinate our future grandchildren (assuming God blesses us with some).
I just went through that with our (new) first grandchild. Fortunately our daughter and son-in-law agree about vaccines and my daughter is watching like a hawk to make sure nobody tries to sneak anything in during any pediatrician appointments.
We were lucky - we got an early granddaughter. I'm not sure my older daughter will even be able to when she wants a kid. She is a teacher and no matter what we told her she hasn't met a booster she doesn't like. She left our house a conservative, went to school and managed to make it out at least as a moderate, but now all her friends are lefties. I'm still trying to get her back to being conservative again but it is hard to do when she lives across the country from me. Time will tell.
