I can answer that. Jenny goes on TV and tries to tell everyone that her son was a normal, affectionate talking little boy until the dreaded MMR. That is NOT true. Read her book - Evan did not smile until he was five MONTHS old (normal babies smile by 6 weeks). As a baby he rubbed his feet together, then as a toddler he flapped his hands, walked on tiptoes and spun in circles. By age 2.5, he had only a few words such as "juice." Around 2.5 he began having severe seizures and stopped speaking altogether, so Jenny tries to say he was normally speaking until then. The seizures and autistic behavior also started BEFORE the MMR vaccine, which she mentions in the book.
Jenny has gotten on the vaccination bandwagon when her son was obviously autistic as a baby. I have also yet to see her show any clear evidence of a link between autism and vaccination - or anyone else for that matter! I'm open to the idea of a link but I haven't seen any evidence.
