The autism case that won an compensation award...

Response to Thank you for posting this...

 
is great! I went to that site and downloaded the case.

The only problem is that there was a neurologist who testified that he felt that the child had a reaction to the vaccine. Whereas, in our case, it was over a year before we saw a neurologist and he was "squirm-y" about discussing vaccine injuries with us.

Also, another problem is that it says that the primary diagnosis is "static encephalopathy" with developmental delays and "autistic tendencies". "Encephalopathy" IS on the list of injuries covered. That was one thing that Mr. Conway discussed with me at length one time. (during my Q &A session..lol)

I think--I Know--that I initially phrased it wrong. While you can file for compensation, it will be dismissed if your case isn't ready. And I was told that there needs to be more evidence until my case was ready because there has not been an autism case that has received compensation. While that other case has received it, it was because of the encephalopathy diagnosis.

I was being catty when I wrote that first post, because I was busy (my son) and I had just read the Texas case. I just find it ironic that the NVICP does not cover autism as one of the "injuries". But, according to what that judge says, you have to "first" file with them, and you couldn't go through the Federal Courts. (it was dismissed) So the irony to me (though not eloquently communicated previously) is that first, they pump MY HEALTHY child with tons of mercury and injure him. Then, they say you have to go through the NVICP, which incidently, autism isn't listed as one of the injuries that is covered. Then when you try to sue, they basically say, "no can do...go to the other line".

I hope that clarifies things. Oh yeah...I do always say Senator Burton...yet I knew he was on the "House" committee? lol
