Did your son really not get innoculated until age 2?

Oh sorry - I didn't make myself clear. Both my kids have had all their recommended vaccinations from day one (and continue to do so). The point I was (unsuccessfully) trying to make is that autistic traits usually become apparent at the age of 18 months (that's when the things they have already learned will begin to regress). When the parent sees the child regressing they will correspond this with the recent vaccinations - what other major event in the child's life COULD cause this?

Personally, I believe it's merely coincidental and autism's timing is just another mystery that we know very little about. Conspiracy theorists, however, believe it has to do with the 18 month vaccinations.
