The exact same percent as children that have been vaccinated. There is absolutely no link what-so-ever between vaccinations and Autism, a child is born Autistic and vaccinations cannot time-travel to change the childs development in the womb or change it's parents genes.

Do vaccines cause autisim?
A lot of people question that. I don't think vaccines are the real cause of making an infant turn into an autistic toddler/child. Autism has always been around. It's just no one really found out what the name was back then. Most people way back before 1935 referred autistic people as "mentally retarded" or "incurable idiots" etc. Some children with autism through the mid 20th century have been vaccinated or drugged because of their autism. Vaccine use does not cause autism. The original paper that suggested that has been rejected by the medical community and rescinded by its author. People who do not have their children vaccinated are putting not only their children in danger but every child in contact with them.
Why is it that most of the links you find for autism are related to children?
The prevalence of autism is higher in children today than it has ever been in the past.
How to Understand Autism: Children Vaccinations?
When it comes to understanding the rising prevalence of children with autism, one of the fist topics that individuals who are not familiar with this condition raise is the supposed correlation between childhood vaccinations and children with autism. While is true that there is still a great deal that we do not know about when in comes to autism, it is important to understand that the vaccine hypothesis has been thoroughly considered and exhaustively disproven. Nevertheless, a troubling number of parents make the decision to not have their children vaccinated for a wide range of diseases out of a misguided fear of damaging their child’s cognitive development. Here is what you need to know about the vaccination hypotheses and how it relates to children with autism.The vaccination hypotheses first began to surface during the late 1980s when an increasing number of children were being diagnosed with autism. Most pediatricians and researchers believe that this increase in the number of young people who have been diagnosed with this condition is a result in a wider understanding of what autism is and how to spot the signs of autism in young children. These symptoms first begin to develop when children have reached the age that they are beginning to receive most of their immunization shots. However, parents began to notice that their children were being diagnosed in the same year that they had received their vaccinations and made the mistake of concluding that the vaccination itself caused the neural disorder.Unfortunately, the unquestioning acceptance of the vaccination hypotheses as the cause of children with autism has lead to so many parents choosing not to have their children vaccinated that it may lead to a severe public health crisis. As the percentage of children in the population who have not received basic immunization shots increases, so does the possibility that a large scale measles outbreak could occur in the near future. Measles is a highly contagious disease that will infect between 85% and 95% of the children and adults who are not immunized to it once it is airborne. Sudden exposure of measles to a population that has not been properly vaccinated do to a misunderstanding as unsubstantiated as the connection between vaccinations and children with autism is a recipe for disaster.
Why do some parents worry about letting their children get vacinated?

How common is Autism ?
Autism is as common today as it always has been - currently figures put autism diangosis in children at 1 in 50, this doesn't mean an increase in autism but an increase in awareness of autism and better diangosis so more autistic people are now getting diagnosed.
How can autism be dealt with?
It depends on which component of autism you are refering to. A deficit in language, socialization and language are typically present in order to get a diagnosis of autism. I am a behavioral interventionist and work with children with autism daily. I would highly recommend researching Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) to gain more information. Essentially, ABA addresses each component of autism from a behavioral perspective and has been clinically shown to have significant effects on the treatment of children with autism. This is by far the most widely used method (behaviorally speaking) for children with autism.
What effect do psychoactive drugs have on children with autism?

How many case of autism in children 1942?

Who has been cured of autism?
No one - autism cannot be cured.
Can marijuana use cause you to have a child with autism?
Have there been any studies to determine whether the use of marijuana by pregnant mothers increases the odds of autism in their children? I have seen studies showing the results from use of cocaine and alcohol.
Is autism like locked in syndrome?
No. Autism is not like locked in syndrome. The two are totally different. A number of children with Autism have damage to a particular part of their brain. Since they are children, many of them can be taught to use a different part of their brain for communication. On the other hand, several different commutation problems have been given the catch all diagnosis of Autism. With Locked in Syndrome the problem is not in the brain but with the brain's ability to communicate with that part of the body that communicates with the outside world.
