Autism is due to a genetic defect. Simply as that.

Carine, I think many people agree with you.. but we also believe that something in these vaccines triggers that gene into action. I guess we’ll know in a few years for our family. My son was fully vaccinated. He’s now 5 yrs old and he was diagnosed with autism at age 4, although we’ve known he’s had it since he was 2. His new baby sister is not being vaccinated. If it’s only genetic, then she’ll get it even with no vaccines right?
