Perhaps late onset autistic children, whom were previously normal, might also be more upsetting to a majority of GP's,mine included, whom are getting on with their job,listening to parents and evaluating their children,without entering into one sided statements.Autism is a general term for a spectrum of autistic disorders.Some are born autistic and genetics used to be the prime suspect.Genetic disorders don't increase.But late onset autism has increased off the graph. It is now far more familiar to most GP's than measles and hardly anyone has not come across a friend or colleague, who has an autistic child.I had measles as a child and so did all my friends.It was then described as a mild illness.We had never heard of autism.What is more important, bolstering MMR, through NHS speak campaigns, debunking researchers whom dared to investigate or tackling the reasons why autism now affects 1 in 64 ? Better diagnosis? No way.The prosecution of the first Emeritus Professor of gasroenterology and two of his colleagues,one, another professor and Dr Wakefield,with no complaint made from the parents of their patients and their total support, has cast a deep shadow on autism research and future treatment of late onset autistic children in pain.All of their parents had their children given the MMR in the first place, along with all childhood vaccines and have since been labelled as anti vaccine.The message is clear. If your child suffers an adverse reaction to a vaccine,which like any medicinal product, has some risk, you and any mainstream medical researcher, whom dares to investigate, will be subjected to a campaign, costing NHS millions, to discredit you.
