One of the most difficult things to admit is, I dont know. Another very difficult thing to do is accept that we dont understand certain things and they are not under our control. Of course it is understandable that parents of children with autism often feel sad, desparate, frustrated, etc. I concede that being a parent of a child on the spectrum makes you the most knowledgeable about your child. It does not make you an expert in the study of autism (or vaccines) and you really need to stop acting as though you are or believing other parents (who are not autism researchers) who claim to be experts. The reason is simple. Those who do this end up unintentionally injecting irrational fear and bullshit into an already complex and disheartening situation.
