For parents with autistic kids! Please answer this survey! Email answers to atyesproject@yahoo.com!?

1) What has your child been diagnosed with, if he/she has been diagnosed at all?
2) Before vaccinations, did your child exhibit signs of
neurotypical children (e.g. played with other children, talked
coherently, etc.)?
a. If yes, what were the observations you made (e.g. what did your child do that was neurotypical)?
3) Have you given your child any vaccines?
a. If yes, what vaccines has your child been given (if known, did
these vaccines have thimerosal in them)? Try to list all vaccines.
b. If yes, when were they given (give child's age)?
4) When did you start realizing that your child was not
neurotypical (give child's age) or did someone else tell you
(teacher, friend, spouse, etc,) with his or her suspicions?
5) What symptoms did you see that made you sense that your child was not neurotypical?
6) Is there any information (about anything, autism, your child)
that you might want me to include in my study?
THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH!

1) My child has been diagnosed with autism.
2) My child exhibited signs of autism from a very young age (8 months). Some signs were not being responsive to his name, high pain tolerance, lack of speech and disciplinary problems (ie. would not respond to typical discipline)
3) My child has had all recommended vaccine even including the state Hep B vaccine which was administered shortly after birth. Yes, many of these vaccines (maybe all) had thimerosal in them.
4) I had suspicions of problems from a very young age - as stated before, probably by 8 to 10 months. He was diagnosed shortly before his 3rd birthday.
5) Symptoms exhibited are listed above in number 2.

this is probaly useless info for you but my mom is a PAC teacher and worked with 2 autistic and assburgers (dont know how you spell that) boys. There parents told her that after getting some type of shot at the doctor when they were little about 6 months later they started noticing differences.
