Does Vitamin K injection for newborn contain Thimerosal-Mercury like vaccines?
Or the content is natural and simply a vitamin?
Apparently, in our country Philippines. The vaccines still contain thimerosal/mercury.
Mercury is no longer used in vaccines. Do your research.

Doctor states child is autistic, school says chld has autism spectrum disorder?? What is the difference? Can medication help with any of this?
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a general term that includes Autism, Asperger Syndrome, PPD-NOS and others. The reason they used different terms is that the Dr. gave you a specific diagnosis of Autism, but the school can only determine eligibility for special services. Sometimes schools refer to it as "autism like behavior).
Medication is sometimes used to help an issue caused by the autism, say anxiety, but there is no pill to cure it like an antibiotic will cure an infection. It's closer to say that individuals with autism learn to manage their condition. This is done through learning the skills needed to overcome their individual deficits. IMO unless there is a physical danger, it's best to save medication to control behaviors as a last resort. Much better to teach the person through therapies, love and patience more appropriate behaviors.
Right now the best thing you can do is to educate yourself about autism and the different treatment/therapy options that are out there. There is no one size fits all treatment plan. Every person is different. You are a full member of your child's' team and the best expert on him there is. You need to help the development of an appropriate plan because you are the constant in the different areas of his life (school, home, activities) and get the big picture.
Best of luck- it is an interesting, exasperating, exhilarating e-ticket ride!

HillaryCare pushed multiple vaccines on American infants and toddlers that contained Thimerosal. Then a rare neurological disorder called Autism began to increase.

Not that I don’t appreciate it, but where have you been for the last eight years? And does anyone know where Sarah Palin’s newfound expertise in autism comes from? Down Syndrome and autism are apples and oranges, and I can promise you, Sarah Palin is never going to have to fight for services for her child.
My daughter is a special ed teacher who evaluates and implements individual instruction plans at an elementary school. She told me about Obama nearly 2 years ago when she volunteered to work his campaign. Her only goal in life is the betterment of kids who don’t have the same abilities as everyone else. Like she says, you can anyone, but it takes a bit more imagination to break through to some kids. Since she believe in children as much or more than anyone I know, I am following her lead on this.
McCain has adapted his words and campaign to what has been successful for Obama I’ve noticed. After the polls showed huge upticks with Obama’s “change”, McCain decided to become a Maverick, etc. Of course, the GOP wants to cut school spending, it’s always been a party mandate.
At the table is sitting a Doctor who is the head of the Health Dept (on LHS) and on the right is John Gilmore, Father and Board Member of A-Champ.
The man with the grey hair and light brown jacket (who starts off asking questions at the beginning of the clip) is Leg. William Lindsey who is the grandfather of a child with autism.

Here’s the story — well, the first five years — in the life of Quinn: a wonderful, exuberant, mostly non-verbal boy with autism. You can see how the signs appeared over time, even before his diagnosis was made at 21 months.

I know it has been banned in some states, but am trying to see if it is still used in Georgia. My husband says it is no longer used, but I say it still is. Help us! 
Here is what you are looking for. This link from CDC specifies ingredients for all vaccines (for all States).

The recommendation was made by the American Academy of Pediatrics that Thimerosal should be reduced or eliminated from all childhood vaccines in 1999, however, none of the stock was recalled or destroyed, but instead continued to be given to our babies and children well into 2003 and some as late as 2004. In addition, the flu vaccine, which is now recommended for children and babies over 6 months (and pregnant women) still contains Thimerosal 90% of the time!
As a mom, my concerns are not limited to Thimerosal. MMR is a vaccine containing 3 LIVE viruses only tested for safety and efficacy INDIVIDUALLY. Notice there are many other toxic ingredients causing concern, none of which should be injected into tiny little people, in my opinion. Wikipedia and other sites like this helped me identify them. Measles, Mumps and/or Rubella are rarely of consequence in normal children. In fact, after research, I found that my child has a much greater risk of being injured by a vaccine than from any of the dieases they are supposed to prevent. You might also look at outbreaks as vaccinated contract these illnesses along with unvaccinated. Anyway, the decision is yours. There is a choice to be made… many, in fact. Good luck.
