@FruitLoopz, yes I agree, although for the parents it doesn't allow them to live their life because they are constantly caring for their child until they die, but autism can make you love somebody even more. I knew Dylan Hockley, one of the children who was murdered during sandy hook, and it was devistating, and not just because of the tragedy, not just because somebody I knew died, but because he was always happy, always laughing and smiling, and had the ability to bring joy to a sea of negativity, and that was all because he had autism.

@CannonPenis69, First off, I am sorry for your loss. 2nd, I know what you mean.. Having a brother with autism isn't a cake walk.. And in regards to my mom, it isn't easy for her either. However, living with him has been a real treat. He's taught me responsibility, how to let loose and he always cheers me up.

@CaptainSwordsman, mercury poisoning can cause neurological damage, but autism develops when the fetus does not develop right and in no way is correlated to a vaccine which is only a solution filled with malfunctioning viral cells so that your body develops T helper cells to identify the virus if it infects you. I am allergic to penicillin but had to take it as a baby once because they didnt know yet. I develop a cold or flu two times a year like clockwork because they had to try and flush my system of the vaccine as best as possible but atleast my body identifies it and i have not died of a cold yet (the cold virus killed a lot of people before a vaccine was developed) a vaccine is not filled with some medical junk, but certain types of bacteria and viruses that are dying so it cannot and will not cause anything except an allergic reaction which you find out ONLY if you take it. Its not like you are born with a list of allergies stapled to your umbilical chord

@jaybob11, My cousin was a completely happy child growing up. Smiled at everyone and everything. Had a certain light in his eye. But when he went to start kindergarten, he had to get vaccinated. The light in his eye was gone. He changed completely. The doctor said he developed Asperger's syndrome which is on the autism spectrum. It was so sad when it happened. They're afraid to get their daughter vaccinated because of his reaction.

It is your choice to vaccinate your children or not. My cousin was perfectly fine before he got his shots and after a set of shots, he was diagnosed as autistic. I can neither deny nor confirm that it was from the shots, it does make you wonder though. I have my shots but some of my siblings do not because we were affected negatively by them. Everytime one of us got shots, we ended up in the E.R. with our throats swelling shut. All I can say is you should definitely research the vaccination and talk to family members and see how they were affected before making the decision for your children.

@Andrew Wiggin, here's the thing with autism: it doesn't begin really showing until around the age of three. However, there are some ways to notice it earlier, like with a babies hand size and other things. But just because your cousin was diagnosed after, does not mean that vaccinations had anything to do with it. My brother wasn't diagnosed until middle school but he had been showing the signs since he was a toddler. They didn't really understand autism when we were younger, so it took longer for a diagnoses. Over the years, they have been able to diagnose younger and younger. Your cousin may be the age where diagnoses often happened around that age. I do agree that it is important to research before you get a vaccination, but not for fear of autism.
I understand the joke, but I really can't stand when people talk about Autism like that. It's not all that bad. Sure, it's life adjusting and it has it's cons but just because someone is Autistic, doesn't mean that they are an abnormal species. My brother falls on the autistic spectrum and sure, he drives me up a wall BUT he's my brother. No matter the illness, Autism or not, we are all human -- just mentally different. Long comment I know, but someone had to say it.
