Guest guest Posted September 9, 2006 Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 Ok. I'm new to this message board, so please excuse me if this subject has already been hashed out. I've heard little snippets here and there about vaccines possibly causing apraxia and other neurological disorders. I've read a few articles, but I'm really more interested in real peoples experiences. While we don't have an official diagnosis, it looks as though my 20 month old has verbal apraxia. At 12 months she was saying a few words, but lost that ability shortly thereafter. We were pretty anti vaccine, but were forced into it later, so she didnt' have her first round of vaccines until 9 months. She had her second round at around 12 months. While we can't pinpoint it, we know that her word usage dropped off sometime between 13 and 15 months. I was just wondering - how many of you attribute your childs apraxia to vaccines? Also, and maybe this is false hope, have any of you heard of a traumatic event causing voluntary muteness? My daughter was really sick and hospitalized, and then a week later diagnosed with a kidney disease that involved alot of invasive tests for weeks on end. This is also about when she quit talking. Thanks a bunch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
