Do vaccines cause autism?
Answers
-
Accepted AnswerThere is an abundance of evidence that vaccines do not cause autism. In fact, it is not know what exactly is the cause of this neurological disorder. Many parents think that perhaps the MMR vaccine might be related to autism, but many studies have shown no link between the two.
Autism is characterized by the delay in certain developmental milestones that normally emerge around age 18-24 months. That is the time, when the diagnosis of autism is made most frequently.
