My son is "gifted".  I have read opinions that gifted children are more vulnerable to vaccine damage.  My intuition and from what I've observed has told me that would have been true for my son; that he would be susceptible for autism if he had been vaccinated.  You hear of autistic "Savants" who are genius at something.  So then the thought occurred to me a couple of weeks ago that it is almost as if "the-powers-that-be" have targeted the best and the brightest amongst us to be damaged or die via vaccination.  
I am not going to rant on about that, as I am more analytical and logical, and prefer to talk about the multitudes of science that backs up vaccine dangers and how the immune system is designed to work.   But we all have our intuitive side as well.   
Although I don't know anything about these "star children" you talk about, your post brought this to my mind, so I thought that I would share it.

I have said this so many times to people yet it never seems to sink in! There is very little common sense in our society today and everyone is told to blindly trust in the establishment. As a parent with a child on the spectrum I fight everyday because I know his issues can be mitigated but not if I stick to the societal "rules", I have to think outside the box and do all the leg work. Thank goodness I refused vaccines.
