I know you parents are doing what you feel is best for your children, as we all do, and commend you for taking initiative to research the situation and make your own decision regardless of the prevailing medical opinion.
May none ofyour children end up with anything that could have been prevented by vaccine, and may your goal of avoiding autism and other effects you perceive to be caused by vaccines be realized.

I agree. I don't know what vaccines in particular are being discussed, but vaccinations have all but wiped out former predators of humanity such as smallpox, polio and a host of other extremely serious diseases that used to kill a VERY significant percentage of the population.
To a degree, if a very small percentage of people forego vacinnations, then it may be fine as their chances of being infected are low because 99% of the rest of the population DOES have the vaccination.
But on an aggregate level, eliminating vaccines is very risky, adn the price is far too high.
