H1N1: The New Spanish Flu?
I haven’t been able to post on here for a while since I’ve been busy with school and also with a new project that is just about ready, but I wanted to post and let everyone know that I’ve really been enjoying reading the different points of view from everyone around the world on this blog and on twitter.
Vaccines and Autism Part II: Timing of Vaccines
In Part One I looked at the ingredients in vaccines and what the connection was to autism. In this part I’ll look at the timing of vaccines and vaccine safety studies and how it relates to the autism debate.
Here is a brief refresher on this series:
- Vaccine Ingredients (Part I)
- Timing of Vaccines (Part II)
- Vaccine Safety Studies (Part III)
A Moment in the Life of an Autism Mom
Today was a gorgeous fall day so we took the kids for a walk in the wagon. On our walk we came across a mom and her son on their way to the playground. As soon as the boy caught sight of the wagon he came running over. He crouched real low walking behind the wagon and watched the wheels as they turned. And when Odum stopped to say hi the boy started to push the wagon to keep it going and didn’t make any effort to say hi.
Vaccines And Autism Part I: Vaccine Ingredients
Since Tristan’s diagnosis of autism I’ve had a few people ask what my feelings where about the whole vaccine – autism controversy. They wondered if I thought vaccines caused Tristan’s autism and if we choose to vaccinate Maya differently as a result. Since I have a degree in biology and loved immunology I thought I’d do a little series on vaccines. What they are and how they work, what the controversy is about and what we’ve chosen to do with our kids.
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
I feel incredibly lucky that this thanksgiving I have so much to be thankful for.
So I’ve decided to share my list with you.
Here are the things that I am thankful for this year:
The Autism Diagnosis Part II: The Follow Up Appointment
I was actually excited for our follow up appointment with the pediatrician. Tristan’s progress since June has been incredible. And I was interested to see what the doctor would have to say given his opposition to biomedical intervention for autism and our obvious success with it.
