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.
What are the real causes of autism now that the onset of autism and the MMR vaccine has been shown to be coincidental?
There are no "real" causes of autism yet, but there are theories. Autism is a disease rarely found in newborn babies that disable the child's language development and they often have trouble communicating.
Does autism have a vaccination?
No, there is no vaccination for autism as autism is not a disease, illness, or virus. Autism is a neurological difference, it is how a persons brain forms while they are developing within the womb and once they are born. A person cannot be vaccinated against autism, and no reason to do so anyway.
What can I find information about autistic spectrum disorders?
The different forms of autism are thought to overlap considerably. But the fact that there is wide variation in symptoms among children with autism led to the concept of autism spectrum disorder. Autism seems to be on the rise, and autism spectrum disorders affect between two and six children out of every 1,000 in the U.S. It's unclear, though, whether the growing incidence of autism represents a real increase or just improved detection
What possible danger do some connect to the MMR vaccine?
The combined vaccine for measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) was claimed to cause autism or bowel disorders in some children.
1 in 150 have autism today what was the ratio in 1992?
Actually the CDC put the ratio of autism at 1 in 68 today. There is absolutely nothing to suggest that autism has increased at all, so this ration also represents autistic people in 1992 - autism isn't on the increase, diagnosis of autism is on the increase, it's an important difference.

Is the number of people with autistic spectrum disorder rising?
It's impossible to say as we don't understand enough about autism yet - diagnosis is increasing, which is giving people the impression that autism is on the increase (when in fact it is simply that we understand autism better and diagnosis is better), but that doesn't necessarily mean that autism is on the increase.
What is the scandal surronding the MMR vaccine?
The MMR vaccine controvery or scandal centered around the 1998 publication of a fraudulent research paper in the medical journal. This paper claimed that colitis and autism disorders might be caused by MMR vaccine which is not true.
Is there a relationship between serotonin and autism?
Yes. The relationship involves conversion of serotonin into bufotenin, a psychedelic drug that is similar to LSD and magic mushrooms. An autistic person has been tripping ever since the moment he/she was born.
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.
What is the Vaccine-Autism debate?
In 1998 a fraudulent doctor published a paper claiming that the MMR vaccine causes autism - since then billions have been spent to completely disprove this claim, the doctor was found to be lying, and common sense about autism tells us that this was a lie...however some uneducated and ignorant people continue to believe this lie. People known as 'anti-vaxxers' are against lifesaving vaccinations and continue to claim that vaccines cause autism to try to argue that vaccines aren't healthy - in turn also implying that autism is a bad thing, worse than life-threatening diseases.
