SPD and Immunizations

by Tanya
(GA)

Thank you everyone for your stories, I know now I'm not alone on this.

My daughter started a pre-k program back in August and we struggled until January of 2010. The teacher was having issues with her. I got my daughters therapist involved and the therapist and myself felt the teacher did not want to take the extra time with her. I was paying for this school and was told they are a small school which offers more one on one. That was not the case, so I pulled her out and found another school where the teachers were more understanding. That turned out to be the best situation. My daughter was wearing her pants where they needed to be, she would wear her shirts and not complain as long as the shirts were a big size. We still had issues but they seem to diminish some what.

She got sick and needed to be on 4 different types of medicine, it seems when she has to take antibiotics or steroids her issues get worse. She is not is school now and the issue went from mild to severe again. She is complaining about the buttons on her pants and other things now which she never did before.

I was told that vaccinations are the cause of SPD. I was trying to do some research on www.thinktwice.com. I have not had much time to really look at the information. I was hoping someone would have information about this. My daughter needs to get her shots before she goes to Kindergarten. I'm not sure thats a good idea. I'm concerned if they are the cause, then what else will happen. I talked to the doctor about this and of course the doctor said no the shots have no effect like that. If anyone has any information I would appreciate it.

Sorry So Long!

Thank you,
Tanya

Research before you chose to vaccinate... NEW
by: Anonymous

I believe that if a person has no experience with children who have had a negative affect from a vaccine, that person typically feels vaccines are safe and reasons that the government would not allow it if it wasn't safe. I have met people who have shared their stories and strongly feel every parent should thoroughly educate themselves prior to vaccinating. Parents need to understand what exactly they are putting into their child's body by researching the ingredients and affects of those ingredients.

#1 There IS proof that vaccines cause devastating affects. A child I know was neurologically impaired and treatment was funded by the government because they have a set fund for those children who have been damaged by vaccines. #2 I know a parent who had government officials come to the office to remove the child's medical records after she filed a complaint about vaccine damage so she no longer had access to it and got NOWHERE trying to retrieve it from the government so realize that SO MANY CASES are not even disclosed and why not??? #3 because Vaccines are a multibillion dollar industry. Getting a vaccine on the vaccine schedule is like hitting the jackpot. I wouldn't be so quick to trust someone with my child's life who is making a serious profit off of their product. #4 For parents who DO vaccinate it is important to be understanding that every parent is only making the best decision for their children.

So DON'T get upset that parents who don't vaccinate are putting your child at risk because #1 if you vaccinated then your child should be safe anyways, right?? #2 Since when is chicken pox so deadly? Polio hasn't been in this country for 40 years and many other diseases are treatable. An educated parent KNOWS IMMEDIATELY when something is wrong with their child and seeks medical attention promptly which avoids any long term affects. People are demonstrating FEAR over illness that are mild, almost non existent and lastly, treatable!! AND PLEASE DON'T SAY there is no proof!!! There are MILLIONS of parents telling their story. If your child did a 360 after a vaccine how would you feel if someone told you, "there is no proof" and dismissed you... you would be FURIOUS because YOU would want to be heard and something to be done about it. One of the most ignorant thing to say is "My child was vaccinated and he/she is fine." First of all, it is important to realize that everyone is different- We all have different sensitivities and general issues and our bodies all operate differently. Some children have lower thresholds or possibly weaker immune systems and are less tolerant to the TOXINS in the vaccines. Last thought, is your child really fine?? The numbers are rising exponentially of developmental and speech delays, sensory issues, learning disabilities, emotional problems, ADHD and the list goes on. Doesn't that count? Let's all respect one another's decisions but PLEASE educate and do your research!!!!

I have no answers.. NEW
by: Anonymous

...but what I do know, is I am not taking any chances. I am not getting any more vaccinations for my kids.

I have been through what all of you know if you are here, a most unpleasant experience. What is worse, is what my daughter goes through. I won't chance making it worse. I stay away from babies anyway. Because frankly, after four years of screaming non-stop... I really don't ever want to see another one.

She is finally getting to a point where she can function.

She will now eat, at least once a day, and sometimes sleeps through the night. I just got the letter from her school about her missing MMR. It almost is as if they have never heard a thing I have said to them.

Oh well. Time to send it back AGAIN. What shall I put this time? Amish you say?

No definite proof either way NEW
by: Anonymous

Bottom Line- there is no definite proof of anything that causes autism or spd! Everyone chooses what they believe hopefully based on research and personal experience. I noticed symptoms of spd from birth so i am 100% positive that it was not caused by any vaccine unless of it was the Hep b shot they give while in the hospital which no research has been linked to that shot. Unless there is a community of children that have the exact same diet, environment, etc in which there is a 0% rate of austism or spd who also dont vaccinate then I am not convinced. I hope you do what you believe is right based on what you find or learn not just by someone elses opinion.

A different view NEW
by: Anonymous

I will take a fairly unpopular view among those with children with SPD or ASD. I don't think vaccinations have anything to do with it. My child who is on the Autism Spectrum and has SPD is my 3rd. I noticed things were different from the get-go (and he is HIGHLY functioning). I have friends who children also suffer, and they, too, also noticed differences before any vaccinations--even those who do believe it was vaccinations.

Now, if you don't want to vaccinate, don't. I don't have a problem with people who choose not to vaccinate for whatever reason. I understand that we don't know the cause and we want a definite answer, and if blaming vaccines make you feel better, so be it. Just please don't get your non-vaccinated child near my newborn. Wait until he has been vaccinated so he can be protected from your child. Not being mean, just a practical plea.

First check the state law on vaccines. NEW
by: Anonymous

Usually they will have a medical, religious, or moral belief exemption. You can find a copy letter stating your exemption of choice.
You fill it out and bring it with you when its time to enroll her.
I did it, they asked why...I said my son has autism! They didn't ask another thing.
He has aspergers, and SPD, and anxiety issues as a result of the two.
They like to play down the sensory, and almost convince me sometimes
But then i see it so much at home.At home he can go to sensory item of choice and i watch him do it about every 20-30 minutes.
But at school they want you seated and doing work, so you dont see it, until they have a meltdown and let him rock, or use the bean bags on top of himself. After 5-10 minutes, hes goood to go!!!
Yes, i do believe that the vaccines cause the sensory issues in our children. From birth, they, (the shots), ruin their nervous systems which arent fully developed. But that just my opinion and years of researching, conferences and observation, but i'm just a mom.....You know!
But i dont care, i will say it, Dont vaccinate!
Check out the rate of autism in the Amish community, they dont vaccinate!
Good luck sister, Kim
