I have to respond to this because this mis-information is why we are here. Vaccines do not cause autism. Period. This has been heavily researched and the guy who originally came up with the idea of the MMR vaccine causing autism, Andrew Wakefield, was found lying the whole time for financial gain. Since his originally paper in the Lancet in 1998, which is no retracted, every researcher since then has found no correlation. They cannot reproduce his methods, they cannot find an association whatsoever. Andrew Wakefield's paper is the only one with dozens of others proving his false. To give you an idea, his original research was based on only 12 patients. One of the articles linked below researched over 90000 and could find no association. Autism is actually more associated with genetics then with anything we give during childhood - https://www.spectrumnews.org/news/autism-genetics-explained/

Dude, I was joking. Although I am on the spectrum it wasn't caused by vaccines thou.
