The latest research has shown no link between vaccines and autism. Some felt that the mercury levels used to preserve vaccines, particularly the MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) vaccine was the culprit.
Although most studies and many reliable scientists reported no relationship, some parents refused to accept the findings. The preservatives now used contain very low levels of mercury, but, if anything, the diagnosis of autism has increased.
It is an enigma wrapped in a mystery. We are fortunate that our son is very high functioning, but it is still heartbreaking to realize he will never marry and have children. He leads a wonderful life filled with love and enjoyment and has so many wonderful, caring people in his life.
I would not trade a nanosecond of his life for a million years of someone else's. What a great, loving son. I don't know why I was selected for the honor of being his mother, but I thank G-d everyday for that.
