What research has been done on the connection between mumps vaccine and autism?
GaleEncyofAltMed
The current status of the MMR/Autism link is disputed. New beliefs are appearing that bufotenin may be responsible for autism. At the moment, there is little evidence to show that MMR may be linked with autism.
More recently, several clinical studies have show no statistical link between any vaccine and the incidence of autism. The MMR does not cause, nor is a contributing factor to, autism.
In addition, the bufotenin theory is at this point, just a theory. It is based on the higher-than-normal levels of bufotenin detected in some autistic people, but this has not been thoroughly studied, nor has it been shown this is prevalent in the general autistic population. As of now, we really don't know much about autism, certainly nothing definitive about causes or the mechanisms by which it works.

What were the perceived conflicts of interest in Wakefield's research activities?
Wakefield's research activities were criticized for conflicts of interest because he failed to disclose financial ties he had with lawyers bringing lawsuits against vaccine manufacturers. This raised concerns about potential bias in his research linking the MMR vaccine to autism. Wakefield's actions were seen as compromising the integrity of the research and eroding public trust in vaccines.

Is there a connection between febrile seizures and Asperger's Syndrome or autism?
I have read an article about the connection between febrile seizures and autism. It suggests that febrile seizures which go on to progress to 'status epilepticus' may cause brain damage and result in autistic traits. The article is called "Febrile Seizures and the Amygdala in autism spectrum disorders" by Teresa Binstock.
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.
