If Sarah Palin is the VP Will it Effect the Autism Debate?
Date: Sunday August 31, 2008Posted in: General
We all have heard by now that Sarah Palin has a child with down syndrome. The question is, if McCain is elected how will this effect families of children with autism? Obviously we would have a more sympathetic voice in Washington. As her child would grow during her Vice Presidency, she would be learning about the huge expense that comes with raising a special needs child. That I am sure will benefit us.
My real question though, where would she stand on vaccinations? I know that she has supported the Flu shot
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Sarah Palin Governor of the State of Alaska, do hereby proclaim November 2007 – March 2008 as:
Influenza Vaccination Awareness Season
in Alaska, and encourage all Alaskans to get a flu vaccination to protect themselves, their families, and their communities.
Does that really mean anything though? That was before she had a special needs child, and if you are reading my blog I am sure you know how that changes everything. Also, has the issue of vaccinations causing autism actually been presented to her?
In the autism community we basically have 2 sides, those who believe autism is linked to mercury poisoning and those who don’t. Which side do you think Sarah Palin will fall into?

I found this blog… interesting…

I’d be interested to know if somebody can find more on that ADAPT meeting with the McCain campaign… that might be the answer to your question
From what I understand, the ADAPT people were arrested for blocking the doors at the Mccain offices because they did not take their materials.
