He was talking before he received the vaccine,however after this is he stopped.I also noticed lots of body rush especially at the place where the vaccine was-on his right leg,and swelling too.

I really reallythink that the reason for his developmental disorder-which is autism is the vaccine,because he did not behave like that when he was smaller.

For his body rash on his right hand he also have a different colour and it always swells him...Im totally sure that it was something wrong with the vaccine...My mum tries with herbal medicine,so he is alot better now...

Autism doesn't go away, my friend. Please don't assume that this is your brother's problem, because it may not be. He will have to be properly diagnosed by a physician. Just keep a close eye on him, and share your concerns with your parents. Suerte!

Autism is lifelong. He will never become non-autistic.
However, the timing of when he became obviously-to-you autistic and when he received the vaccine may be coincidental. Research has repeatedly shown that vaccines do not cause autism. (However, autistics do have a higher frequency of odd drug reactions in general, so I do wonder whether we're more likely to have odd reactions to vaccinations than non-autistics, making it look like the timing of the two are connected.)
Don't try to cure your brother, or make him appear non-autistic externally. You'll do more harm than good that way. Consult other autistics online, read blogs by autistics, accept your brother as he is. (That doesn't mean just let him sit and do nothing -- that would be awful in any case, whether he were autistic or not. I just mean that many of the intensive therapies "professionals" make people think are necessary are not.)
Chelation has the potential to be very dangerous, and since a) we're not autistic because of heavy metal poisoning and b) chelation wouldn't undo any damage already caused by vaccines, it's not a good idea.
Remember that we do grow and develop, even if it is in an atypical pattern. Your brother won't stay exactly like he is now forever.

It does not go away.
Autism is rarely caused by a vaccine, however. It may be Regressive Autism, which presents at around 2 years old.
Autism doesn't go away, its for life. Don't be too worried.

It is very hard to diagnose a 2 yr old. He may be autistic but there are a lot of other disorders similar to autism. I'm glad he is only two. He may end up with no psychological disorder at all.

One is born with autism. It is not 'caused" by something external after birth.
Did he talk before the vaccine?

Has your brother been diagnosed with autism, or are you guessing? If he IS definitely autistic, there most certainly ARE things you can do, although, unfortunately, none of them are guaranteed. Most likely, with the right combination of interventions, you can improve his condition, however.

there is nothing tha tyou can do. he will have autism for the rest of his life. There is a connection between the shots children get and autism. That is so awful to hear. Just be patient and learn as much as you cvan about his disease.

See autism treatments and resources, at http://www.ezy-build.nz/~shaneris on page 4, and consult a neurologist, or seek treatment urgently!
