I think the reason you needed the Rocephrin shot was more likely a contributor to your child's autism. Thousands have been recovered from autism, my children included. What biomed practitioners are finding is that autism is being reversed by rebuilding the immune system, by ridding pathogens and toxins. Thus, the pathogens you carry while pregnant are thougth to infect the developing child. Since these pathogens are slow at reproducing and good at lowering antibodies, people don't show the usual acute symptoms, but rather they show chronic symptoms, which are effecting the circulation to the brain and other organs, thus leading to numerous odd symptoms.
