All three of Brenda McDowell's triplets, she attests, ‘shut down' within hours of each other after receiving their routine pneumococcal vaccines — later to be diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
- Claire – “She had full-blown eye contact. She was super lovely, and she shut right down.”
- Richie – “All his raspberry-blowing … and the furniture walking … just shut off.”
- Robbie – “Robbie looked like he was hit by a bus. Robbie, from that moment on, had a stunned look on his face. If you asked or said his name, he still acted deaf and acted like he couldn't hear.”
