A PBS documentary on “The Vaccine War,” featuring Jenny McCarthy and others, will be shown tonight. Times will vary depending on where you are, of course. Here in St. Louis, it’s at 9 p.m. Check your local PBS station website for the time where you are, and let’s tune in to see what PBS thinks the scoop is!

Watch the story of Madison, an autistic child who is doing the same supplement therapy we are, plus more: gluten-free, casein-free diet, chelation therapy, and so on. She is clearly under treatment by a DAN! doctor. And she is getting a lot better!

This is a picture of the HiHopes, a band including several prodigiously gifted and otherwise handicapped people. My autistic brother is standing next to the man with dark glasses.

This study Mike linked to simply asked the question whether and when the child received the MMR vaccine, and symptoms related only to that vaccine. It is one of the studies that apparently proves that the MMR vaccine, as used in Denmark at the time, by itself does not cause autism. This was a large study, looking at more than 500,000 children, the kind of study that should uncover correlations if there are any.
So, now I am asking again for a study investigating the effect of multiple vaccines on American children. This study doesn’t answer that question.

Here’s a link to an hour-long video by Temple Grandin, a professor and author who is herself autistic. This may be a great source of information for anyone wondering more about Asperger’s and autism.
