I am in the middle of cross training and in a few weeks, I may be going to pediatrics for two weeks. I discovered a few months ago that my son's half-brother has autism. His father told me that he believes that this developed due to childhood vaccinations received at 6 months of age-stated that his son was developing normally until he received his vaccine series, came home and had seizures.
Of course, he is asking me questions and I am quite sure I will encounter them again. What is the deal about the relationship between thimrosal (sorry if I spelled it wrong) and autism? I am reading, but the information is complicated to me. I would like resources that I can share with parents making this decision and to be proficient enough to at least be able to explain if asked. Thanks!
