Is It Safe To Give Diph,tet,apert And Polio Booster To An Autistic Child?

my 3 year old son has autism. Although I don't think the mmr caused the autism I am not 100% that it did not trigger something inside of him. Now he is due for his mmr 2 (which I will be refusing) and the diph,tet, apert and polio booster - I am not sure uf he should have these either as I am terrified of overloadign his system with so many injections in one

Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic.

You should give him the diphtheria-pertussis-tetanus toxoid and polio booster. these are dreadful diseases now on the rise in adolescents and are vaccine preventable. I suggest you give them to him. There is no relation between them and autism.

Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
