No, there is no vaccination for autism as autism is not a disease, illness, or virus. Autism is a neurological difference, it is how a persons brain forms while they are developing within the womb and once they are born. A person cannot be vaccinated against autism, and no reason to do so anyway.
When should Autism be capitalized?
Autism should be capitalized when referring to the disorder or condition itself, but not when used in a general sense (e.g., "children with autism" vs. "autism spectrum disorder").
What is a good book for a parent of a 12 year old just diagnosed with aspergers?

What is Savant Syndrome?
Savant syndrome is a condition where an individual has a mental condition like autism. Not only that, but they also have profound abilities or capabilities in excess of what is considered normal.
Do you capitalize the word autism in a sentence?
No, the word autism is not capitalised in a sentence. It should only be capitalised at the beginning of sentences and when it forms part of a title. (e.g. the title of a research paper).
What can I find information about autistic spectrum disorders?
The different forms of autism are thought to overlap considerably. But the fact that there is wide variation in symptoms among children with autism led to the concept of autism spectrum disorder. Autism seems to be on the rise, and autism spectrum disorders affect between two and six children out of every 1,000 in the U.S. It's unclear, though, whether the growing incidence of autism represents a real increase or just improved detection
Does autism start at birth?
Autism is from birth, although autism-like symptoms can occur as a result of brain injury and illness etc. It is likely that autism is the result primarily of environmental factors triggering genetics that would not normally cause a problem to result in ASD, or autism spectrum disorder. Vaccines have been suspected to cause autism for a while, but the evidence for them causing autism is weak. The actual cause of autism is not yet known, although we do know that some drugs can cause autism when exposed to unborn babies in utero. One example of this is the anti-convulsant sodium valproate, which is still commonly prescribed to women of childbearing age. Class action lawsuits in various countries (including the UK and USA) are currently underway.
How do you spell Autism ?
autism
What is infantile autism?
Infantile Autism is when a baby or toddler (an Infant) has autism.
What is adult autism?
Basicly, autism is something you are born to have, not something that you could grow into. So, adult autism, means that a child with autism grows up and become an adult with autism. However, if you didn't find out that you have autism until you are an adult, then your autism must be the mild kind on the entire autism spectrum.
