Research has shown that vaccines do not affect the risk of autism. Each family has a distinct experience with an autism diagnosis, and for some, it corresponds with the timing of their child's vaccinations. There are some types of vaccines that correlate with the onset of autism, but they do not cause it.

Scientists have carried out extensive research over the last two decades to determine whether there is any link between childhood vaccinations and autism. Most scientific medical experts say no connection exists between vaccines and autism and other neurodevelopmental disorders.

There are some reports stating that vaccines can cause autism. It should be noted that the world right now is more advanced. Things that were not clear then, are still being learned right now. There are already so many changes with the definition of autism and the various types available. It is possible that there are just more people being diagnosed because people are now aware of the signs and symptoms they have to look for.

There was a study that was done in the late 90s that sparked a debate about the connection of vaccines and autism. Take note that as this study is discussed through the years, there were some things that did not match with previous reports. There is a chance that autism is not connected to vaccines at all.
