8. Reviewed the Vaccine Table Injuries of the HHS National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program yet?

While Paul Offit disputes the value of drug package inserts ( http://www.latimes.com/local/california/la-me-pediatricians-vaccines-20141031-story.html ) and teaches physicians in training to do the same, he appears to ignore all aspects of the HRSA program. Look there then.

It's complex and very nuanced with respect to timing of symptoms and clinical findings, clearly, but not inconsistent with the brief medical history provided by the parents in the OP and straight outta pkg inserts regarding skin rash (daughter), seizures, encephalopathy / encephalitis and sequelae (son), too.

HRSA definition of vaccine injury likely fits. Later, their son also received a diagnosis of autism. Ridicule is the wrong response here.
