I have a very dear friend who went through this with her child:
Cause And Coincidence In Autism
http://content.healthaffairs.org/content/28/3/916.full
She's not stupid: working on a PhD right now, was very high up the
foodchain in Microsoft at one time, and has demonstrated her not-stupid
many many times. She's antivax. I am not, but there is no way on earth i'm
going to try and convince her. There's no way i'm going to deny her lived
experience.

"Almost everyone believes the following: Vaccines are a good and
necessary part of medicine. Some people, and more people every day,
believe this, too: Those who don't believe in the virtues of vaccines â
anti-vaxxers â are ignorant and dangerous lunatics, possibly evil."
A lovely article about the importance of empathy in communication.
