There is no such thing as an "autoimmune system". There is only an immune system.

Autoimmune diseases are caused when that immune system becomes "confused" and attacks parts of the body instead of disease causing agents.

So your answer is false as there is no "autoimmune system" to activate.

Is porphyria an autoimmune disease?

Porphyria is not an autoimmune disease. Although, signs and symptoms of the disease mimic lupus, which is an autoimmune disease. Autoimmune diseases are based on the immune system not being able to distinguish between its own cells and cells that are foreign in nature. On the other hand, porphyria is based on a malformation of heme precursors, called porphyrins. The name porphyria comes from Greek porphyra, which means purple pigment, and references the purple color of the urine seen in some porphyria cases.


Is vasculitis contagious?

No. Vasculitis is often a symptom of an underlying autoimmune disorder. It is not contagious. You should seek the guidence of a rheumatologist to assist with the type of vasculitis you have (I assume it is the one causing palpable purpura) and often times a steroid such as prednisone will stop the rashes.
