what reaction did you have with dpt vaccine when u were a baby?

With the many stories being aired and told of death, retardation and autism being caused by the DPT vaccine, I am wondering if this isn't somehow connected to all the kids we have on Retalin type medication and what seems to me a lot of mental illness.

    I don't know what reaction I had as a baby, my children had mild reactions and are both honor students with no problems, and a friends son is mildly autistic, they believe from the vaccine...I think ADD is real, I don't know if it's related, but, I think meds are highly overprescribed for kids that don't need them.

    Who knows? It was a lifetime ago. FYI, I am not now, nor have I ever been autistic. Maybe they didn't even have DPT when I was a kid. If we misbehaved, we weren't put on ritalin, we were put on restrictions.

    The old paddle prevented a lot of "mental illness" because it taught limits and didn't suffer fools.
