2. I've always thought it was environmental too.

In utero, probably. My daughter got colds all the time and lung infections the first year. I noticed she was weird after she got her shots too. Only because she had already had a cold and got a big fever after her shots. Was disoriented. Regressed a bit. But she had always progressed and regressed.
I don't think it was vaccines. She gets so sick when she catches something, I worry she'd be dead without the vaccinations.
