I agree with you 110% about this article being really 'bad' journalism in
which will stirs-up unnecessary discriminatory attitudes and behaviour
towards ASD's neurodiverse disabled people and reinforce 'stigma'.
Do these journalist understand how this discriminatory language can cause
offence towards neurodiverse disabled people and cause then great harm?
I have accessed my medical records and my neurodiverse behaviour seems to be
triggered, after my two Diptheria jab in 14/5/1966(4 years old) and
5/9/04( 5 years old). Did they use mercury in vaccinations in them days?
I also had polio 3 oral immunisations on 24/8/65,(aged 3), 28/9/65(aged 3),
24/6/66(aged 4). I took this orally because one of my older brothers severe
side-effects to this injection that nearly killed him and he was
hospitalised for nearly 2 years.
I also had the measles vaccination 23/10/67(aged 5)
As I said did all these vaccines have mercury within them as a preservative
in these early days.
How much different are these vaccines from today's? Was they safer in the
60's?
I also suffered Scarlet fever on 12/4/66(aged 4)
As you can see there are many environmental 'causal-factors' within my
childhood.
Have you got a copy of your article that can be downloaded onto this forum
or I can find a copy to download from the net?
