Occasionally I wonder if my toddler is going to be autistic like her uncle, there are a few reasons why, First would have to be the fact she doesn't like to talk, much like the fact she could walk for 4 months before she would let people see her do it, she chooses not to talk even though when she is mad or we are alone, she does talk and clearly. Second she would rather watch her iPad than make eye contact with people, and her favorite part of Facetime is watching herself, not the person she is talking to. And third, because she does have an autistic uncle, and aspy father, so it is in the family. No my husband is not her biological father, he wasn't born with the right bits for that, but he is a pivotal part of her upbringing, because he is and always will be her daddy.
The weird thing is, it wouldn't bother me at all if she is autistic, I don't see an issue with it at all, which is why it confuses me so much that people rely on the false studies that say vaccines cause autism, and thus don't vaccinate their kids. Autism is clearly much better than deathly ill children, or bring back diseases we have the ability to eradicate. And I am so for herd immunity to help protect the immunocompromised children and adults that need it, but the selfish parents, that do not vaccinate for non health reasons I have a hard time understanding. This is not me trying to convince anyone to vaccinate, that is not my place, but I am definitely pro vaccinations.
