Do you get enough sleep?

Thank you for putting something I should have seen as obvious in a way that clicked properly in my brain. My little brother is autistic. For a short period of time when he was diagnosed, my mom was on the verge of turning anti-vax. I knew that was wrong and always explained the science to her but my brothers regression was something that just stayed in the back of my head like. ok... the science is very clearly here.... but.... what if? The thought of his vaccine being the only outside variable that was in the same time frame messed with me for a little. My thoughts were always that vaccines do not cause autism.. but even in the smallest craziest off chance it did cause his... his autism is not a death sentence. His different view of the world changes mine every day. I hate to think of him getting old enough to hear people actually prefer their kids risk getting horrible diseases instead of being like him.
