Yes, Jenny McCarthey did blame her sons Autism on immunizations and thus caused a lot of problems both for Autistic people and the general public by fueling anti-vaccination Propaganda that puts people's lives at risk. However as it turns out her son was misdiagnosed and actually not Autistic, although she keeps changing her mind as to whether this is true or not.

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.
Having a child with autism is making you depressed?
You don't have a child with autism, you have an Autistic child - recognise their identity. Having an Autistic child isn't what makes you depressed, the fact you're ableist towards that child is making you depressed because you believe that child is worth less as an Autistic person.Get away from other 'Autism Moms'/'Autism Parents' and avoid organizations like Autism Speaks which see Autism as a bad thing, go talk to Autistic people and parents who are allies to their Autistic children so you get a better understanding of how to effectively care for your child and stop seeing them as some sort of burden. Your child is not to blame for your depression.
What was known about autism in 1935?
Asperger Syndrome "which is a form of autism" was recognized by a man named Hans Asperger. That's where Asperger got the name from-in the mid 1930s. People in America decided not to call the mental disability "autism" or "aspergers" in the 1930's and 1940's because of the war against Germany.
Does the mmr jab cause autism?
Most definitively NO. The MMR vaccine (and, all other vaccines) have absolutely NOTHING TO DO WITH AUTISM. There have been repeated clinical studies, and absolutely no tie between the MMR vaccine and any incidence of autism has been discovered. The scare was caused by bad science and desperate parents, looking for something to blame, and a news media looking for the latest sensational cause. There never was any credible reason to assume there was a tie between MMR and autism, let alone scientific evidence.
