To all the naysayers here - once you have a child who developed some type of PDD after the vaccine, like mine have, I would like to hear again on this topic from you.

Can you prove that vaccines caused the PDD? It wasn't just diagnosed after the vaccine?

No, he was perfectly fine before, and than after vaccine various symptoms of PDD-NOS appeared, including his regression in speech and understanding language. It's relatively mild now, after six years have passed, and he improved a lot, but claiming that vaccine cannot cause PDD is quite silly.

It depends on the vaccine, but basically, your child is one of the incredibly unlucky ones to have had such a severe reaction. Thousands of kids get vaccinated with no side effects.

Having said that, PDD-NOS is notoriously difficult to actually diagnose. From what I remember, the diagnosis guidelines say more about what a child isn't than actually specifying any actual symptoms. PDD-NOS is basically diagnosed when the physician isn't actually sure what's wrong, but some symptoms normally associated with more severe conditions are present. My nephew also suffers from PDD-NOS, but from what I remember, the diagnosis actually differed from country to country (he wasn't living in the UK when he was diagnosed).
