My Daughter Emily and Me
My daughter, Emily, is a 25-year-old with autism, functioning at the level of an 8-year-old. This was not how she was born, but rather a result of severe reactions to vaccinations she received during her well-baby visits at 2 and 4 months of age. It breaks my heart knowing she will never be able to drive a car, hold employment, or have children of her own. The challenges we face are immense and go beyond what I can even begin to summarize here.
I implore you, as parents, to take every precaution necessary to protect your children diligently. The impact of a single decision can be lifelong and profound. As a father, I have learned this the hard way, and I hope my story serves as a cautionary tale to others so they do not have to experience the same heartache and struggles.
