I’ll be completely honest, I have aspergers and I’m pro choice for vaccinations. And my choice for myself is not to be vaccinated. And I would choose death over aspergers anyday. I know I must sound terrible, like I don’t care about anybody but myself. I do, and I do want people to get vaccinated if they choose to. Antivax parents are terrible people. But I understand where they’re coming from. My mother was strictly antivax to the point where I had to be homeschooled. After I got diagnosed with aspergers she wanted someone to blame. Vaccinations were her scapegoat.

I understand why people would rather have their children die than have autism. Because I have autism and every day is hell for me. It’s offensive, yes. And it never should be their choice, just like life or death should be my choice. But it’s completely understandable why they would think like that and I can sympathize.
