It is unproven that immunizations cause autism. Flu vaccinations are recommended by the American College of Pediatricians and by the American Academy of Obstetricians and Gynecologists in pregnant women. The ingredient that is in vaccines that some people fear is Mercury, but in reality, the amount of mercury in a vaccine is less than you get in a single meal of fish and is not linked in any way to autism. See the related question below about how to tell if information you read online is right about vaccinations. It is not correct to say that immunizations cause autism.

∙ 8y agoImmunizations do not cause autism.
Autism is a neurological difference which is brought about via development of our brains in the womb, it's a result of genetics - we are born autistic. Vaccines cannot change a persons entire brain to turn them from neurotypical to autistic, no more than they could turn an African-American person into a Caucasian. Billions have been wasted proving this fraud is completely false.

What has been alleged as a cause for autism for which there is no proof but some parents following this misinformation have placed the children at risk of serious illness or death?
You may be referring to the totally unfounded suspicion that some cases of autism are cause by immunizations. To avoid this imaginary problem some parents chose not to immunize their children at all. While some may just wait a while, or pick and choose which immunizations to give their child and which ones they will not. This puts their children and their whole community at risk of disease.
Do immunizations cause problems?
Some immunizations may cause mild side effects, or more rarely, serious adverse reactions

Causes of Autism in Children?
Autism is a disorder that impacts the lives of hundreds of families in the United States. Children with autism do not develop common social skills that other children develop. The cause and treatment of autism are still a mystery to the modern medical community. Common Cause Still Unknown There has been much debate over the possible cause of autism. The real reason that children develop the disorder is still unknown. Researchers have been working to come up with a common thread between all of the children who have developed the disorder, but so far nothing has become readily apparent. Children with autism come from several different social backgrounds and lifestyles. There has been no link between food, medication, or exposure to toxic substances that can explain the formation of autism in children who have the symptoms. The parents of autistic children are working to keep researchers focused on finding a cause so that better treatment options can be created. Immunizations Proven to be Safe One of the most recent theories put forth by some doctors was that some of the common immunizations that children are required to get were causing autism to develop in some children. Since many of the symptoms of autism do not become readily apparent until the child is old enough to have had a few rounds of immunizations, this theory seemed to make sense to many parents. Unfortunately, further research has shown that autism is not linked to any of the current immunizations that are given to children on a regular basis. Some doctors and parents continue to argue that immunizations are to blame and have continued to do more research into the matter. Research Continues Autism has become a very popular topic among medical researchers in the past decade. Since there have been no substantial strides made toward discovering a cause or a cure, researchers are very anxious to break through this medical mystery. Parent groups have begun to place more pressure on researchers to find out more about this debilitating condition so that their children can live fuller lives. With this continued pressure and the money raised by parents toward research, it is possible there may be some new information in the next few years.

What evidence is there that MMR is unlikely to cause autism?
It's not that MMR is unlikely to cause autism, it cannot cause autism full-stop. Autism is a neurological difference so it occurs within the second trimester of pregnancy when the brain is being formed, no vaccination can cause autism. Billions have been wasted on thousands of research projects to prove that there is absolutely no link between autism and vaccinations.
