RE: Autism and Vaccines (Part 2 of 2)

in #fiction6 years ago

One thing the AI left out, is that we don't wish we were neurotypical. Even if vaccines caused me to be autistic, which they didn't, I don't wish I hadn't gotten them and I would still vaccinate any kids I had; even if it were a certainty they would become autistic as a result.

I re-did all my vaccines by choice when I was around 20, knowing the mythical dangerous, just because I didn't want to track down my original childhood papers for proof of immunization while attending college.

Sort:  

As someone who's not autistic myself, I didn't want to make assumptions about how those with the diagnose feel about it. I've heard several proclaim that they don't want to be "cured", because there's nothing to be cured of. I've heard others say that they crave to be neurotypical.

Glad to hear, that you're in the group who's not desperately wishing they were neurotypical :) I can image it to be incredibly stressful and depressing.
