“Living with the Consequences” Nigel Thomas’ talk presented at the Thoughtful House UK Conference, March 2006, was so personal, and achingly authentic, I wanted to share it with my Inconvenient Woman readers. Nigel, you see, is the elder brother of two affected children, Michael, thirteen and Terry, twelve. Both younger brothers had the MMR vaccine. (a mixture of three live attenuated viruses, administered via injection for immunization against measles, mumps and rubella) The MMR resulted in complex medical problems including autistic enterocolitis.
