Symptom narrative

Following vaccination on September 30, 2015, with his vaccines my son showed no immediate issues except that he lost his life essence. Approximately two years later, around October 2017, he began displaying signs of developmental regression, including loss of previously acquired verbal skills, leading to nonverbal status. Concurrently, he started self-harming behaviors (e.g., head-banging, scratching) and occasional aggression toward others, alongside persistent incontinence requiring diapers. These symptoms intensified over the next several months,where a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder was confirmed, potentially linked to the vaccination timeline. He received occupational therapy to address self-injury and aggression, and speech therapy to attempt communication restoration, though progress has been limited. Medications such as risperidone were prescribed to manage behaviors, with ongoing adjustments. As of September 2025, he continues to need constant supervision. The outcome has been a permanent nonverbal autistic condition, necessitating lifelong diaper use and ongoing management of self-injurious and aggressive behaviors. This has significantly impacted his daily functioning, requiring special education support and restricting his ability to interact safely with peers.
