My children are on the spectrum, all different levels. I thought if we avoided the vaccines and things like wireless, fluoride, etc, etc. I was so convinced, I missed a lot of symptoms they exhibited in their early years. I do think we kept them from worse symptoms but the genetics are strong in our case.
I believe that in my son's case it is a combination of factors. I was 42 when I had him. Even though I attempted a natural VBAC, he had a traumatic birth and his APGAR scores were scary. Fortunately they improved quickly and came into the normal range but this lead to him being in the NICU on IV antibiotics. The hospital wouldn't let him leave until he gained weight (even though he was nursing well) and insisted on giving him formula. These things lead to damaging the gut which is a huge player in autism. Fortunately for my son he is very high functioning and improving constantly because of our diligence in helping his body to heal.
