Was gald that Oprah devote a show on autism. However I was disappointed in the representation. They need to show children that are less affected. The vaccine issue is a issue. Tell me why the government submitted a ruling that the pharm. companies could not be sued by families of autism children in relatin to the mmr vac.. I think it was attached to the Kennedy Bill after 9/11. Hope to see more on her show in the future about autism. More detailed….
