A close friend of mine has an Autistic child and her baby seemed totally normal until about a year, or year and a half in, then it was like someone dimmed the lights. It was sad. I believe everyone should be vaccinated and I also believe a small part of the population might have bad reactions to the shots, an acceptable risk IMO. I think since scientists don't know the exact cause of Autism that people tend to speculate.
Below are
all the shots your child needs to have by one year of age, and the CDC's list of
their ingredients, remember they usually pump you up with multiple shots at the same time
