When one looks back to reconsider the possible causes for a child having special needs, one may consider many theories. You may have your lists of concerns, as I have mine. Amongst the "theories galore: vaccines; environmental toxins; genetics;
age of parents at conception of the child (especially the father);
hormonal factors, especially testosterone levels; jaundice at birth;
strep and use of antibiotics as a child; physical trauma in either
mother and child; diet; medications- the lists goes on. All the theories
could be correct, or none, but one thing on which many researchers and
experts agree is that the child needs to be predisposed to this type of
disorder. So, while a vaccine might not affect one child negatively, it
might affect another completely differently."
When my third baby, Iggy, was born, he had jaundice. I panicked upon hearing the news. Friends and family, comforted me saying that it was very common and that I had nothing to worry about. Even though, he was my third born, I still freaked. I guess the protectiveness of a mother will always be there.
After doing lots of research for Ivan, I came to realized that a couple of them stated jaundice as a possible trigger. But nothing has been carved in stone.
