No: This is a hot topic nowadays! there has been no documented research that supports the link between autism and childhood vaccinations. In fact, since the removal of vaccine preparations with a higher mercury content and their substitution with a lower mercury content vaccines, the incidence of autism has not decreased but risen.

Yes: New studies in journal of inorganic biochemistry, 2011 & j toxicol environ health a. 2011 do indicate a correlation between vaccines & autism.

Not at all: Someone earlier referenced the article from j toxicol environ health a. 2011 jan;74(14):903-16. It doesn't show causality between vaccines and autism. The authors even state, "although individuals probably have a genetic predisposition to develop autism, researchers suspect that one or more environmental triggers are also needed." the article associates vaccination rates with autism only.

Autism and Vaccines: Nope. Sadly, many parents of autistic children are desperate to understand why "this occurred to [them]." to date, there is no empirical link between autism and vaccines.
