I have a cousin with mild learning difficulties but otherwise she's normal, and another cousin who was a rather obvious Aspie when he was a child, but seemed to grow out of it through his teens (he was never diagnosed), and now he seems to have a lot of neurotypical mates he does things with and seems confident. Oh and my brother has BPD, which developed in his late teens. Otherwise, everybody else in my family are completely neurotypical, no disabilities at all.

So there you go. It's possibly a genetic component. I don't think it's coincidental.

What if it was not the vaccines themselves but more due to unnecessarily added Mercury/Thimerosol ?

My mother told me today that as a child after I was vaccinated my personality noticeably changed.

Discuss.

Doubt it. Many things happen during child development.
Im with science on this one

That's the logic that these people use. It's the correlation-causation fallacy. Just because two things appear to be related doesn't mean they are. http://www.tylervigen.com/spurious-correlations

Agree with you 100%

In my case, my mother's side shows obvious signs of autism. All the women are excellent at sewing and knitting. One uncle was an aircraft mechanic. The other was a medical technician.

It is always useful to know about non-inherited cases of a disease or disability. One of the problems with the Internet is that in a lot of cases, we just don't know one way or the other. Someone brings something up and disappears.

I'm old enough that vaccinations were just beginning when I was a child. I stood in line at the school gymnasium to get my vaccines. My point is that I was 4, 5 and 6 when I got my vaccinations.

But I was autistic before I got the shots.

Therefore, could it be said that my autism caused the vaccinations? lol :lol:

i used to think like that but theres no relation. you should ask your mom about her gestation and your first years. In my case move little inside the mother's belly and i was too quiet. thats a bad alert. I borned, and i didnt cried, im so shy that i was very shy even to cry when i was born xD. bad alert. i was too quiet until age of 3, and i have dificult to speak in that age. bad alert. in my case at least, it was no vacine, no way.
