I feel like Paul Revere around here on many days. Like so many kids with autism, my daughter has seizures. As if autism in general was not enough, seizures add a whole new level of worry about going out in public and especially with activities like SWIMMING. You have to be on guard 24/7 and know that even then one day, that might not be enough.

I have been searching in vain for awhile for some type of solution that will alert me if my daughter has a seizure during the night. 1/3 of kids with autism have seizures. The #1 cause of sudden death during sleep in children with neurological conditions is Seizure or post-seizure state.

This makes me very sad because I Love(d) Wired Magazine: A Short History of Vaccine Panic by Amy Wallace.
Amy, the MMR vaccine does not equal all vaccines!
All I do know is that our lives changed on September 27, 2001 when our daughter had her 4 month vaccines. That’s when we had the first seizure of what is as of yesterday 350 or so, so far.

I sometimes wonder if those who feel that autism is related to vaccines created their own red herring with mercury. If it’s not mercury, does that mean vaccines are automatically off the hook? I have no clue and don’t claim to know, but it does seem like there is a lot of misinformation on all sides by people who are more concerned with being right than investigating the issue.
