Genetic link to autism

I wonder if this will have any impact on the people who believe vaccines caused their child's autism?

As down as I seem sometimes, I am AMAZED at how the OT we are doing is helping my son. All these sensory things, his sensory diet, how it's changing things, what a turnaround it's been.

I still think WE ARE GETTING NOWHERE because he is nothing like how a 5 year old should be, but compared to last year, he's come so far.

How they even came up with this stuff that we are doing, I don't know. I kind of WISH they were studying my son because I can't believe the difference it makes. (And we aren't doing ABA, FWIW.)

And I got nitpicky because people used to do it to me I guess. I'm passing the torch or whatever. I should really STOP that. (And actually I do in public if anyone asks about him, I say he has 'something like autism' and leave it at that.)
