Update On Autism In The News
Oct-5-2008 By Barbara Rae
The first ever national survey on attitudes toward autism, was recently conducted for the Florida Institute of Technology. Of the 1,000 randomly selected adults, results revealed that nearly 24% , or one in four, believe the disease is caused by childhood vaccines. This group feels that because vaccines may cause autism, it is safer to not have children vaccinated at all. Still, another 19% were unsure how they feel about the ongoing controversy.
