What explanation for autism is no longer consider valid and lacks research support?

The idea that Autism is caused by vaccinations such as MMR vaccine is no longer considered valid, in fact it was never considered valid as the claim was found to be fraudulent fairly early on and Autism is a neurological difference so develops when the brain develops - vaccines cannot time-travel to change how a persons brain is formed in the womb.
However many people continued to believe this idea and pushed Propaganda supporting this claim in order to undermine vaccination programs and make money from people's fears about a possible link - in the process spreading hate speech about Autistic people to imply Autism is worse than it is. Millions, if not billions, have been spent on researching any possible link between Autism and vaccinations; there is no link.

Will autism be cured in the future?
Autism research is ongoing, and there are various interventions and therapies aimed at improving the quality of life for individuals with autism and their families. These may include behavioral therapies, educational interventions, and support services. It's important to note that the concept of "curing" autism is complex and controversial. Many in the autism community advocate for acceptance and understanding of neurodiversity, emphasizing support and accommodations rather than seeking a cure. Medical and scientific advancements continue, and researchers are exploring various avenues for better understanding and addressing autism. While there may be progress in improving the lives of individuals with autism, predicting a specific timeline for the development of a cure is challenging. For the most current information on this topic, I recommend checking recent scientific literature, news from reputable sources, and updates from organizations dedicated to autism research and advocacy.
