Does the MMR Vaccine Cause Autism?

It's been 18 years since the Mumps/Measles/Rubella vaccine was introduced. The vaccine makes use of several live viruses to immunize children against what have, in the past, been disabling and even fatal illnesses. In 1994, the vaccine was mandated for all school age children. Since then, a huge spike has been seen in autism diagnoses. Many of those diagnoses occur within months of children's first MMR shot. Is there a connection? Despite energetic denials by major research institutions, the question remains controversial.
Background: Why the MMR Vaccine Is Controversial

In 1998, British gastroenterologist Dr. Andrew Wakefield published a paper suggesting a possible association between childhood MMR (Mumps/Measles/Rubella) immunization, bowel disease and autism.

Wakefield proposed the idea that Interaction between viruses could (1) have a negative impact on a child’s immune system; (2) lead to persistent infection in the gastrointestinal tract and (3) lead, in the long run, to possible brain damage and autism.
Wakefield’s study was published by the Lancet, one of the world’s top medical journals. Later, however, they called the study “fatally flawed.” Among the flaws: Wakefield, a gastroenterologist, was studying children who had originally presented with gastrointestinal problems -- hardly a random sample. In addition, the group studied was very small -- and no conclusive proof was offered that the measles virus found in autistic childrens’ guts was causally connected to their autism.

Wakefield was asked to leave his position in Britain, and retracted some of the study outcomes. Today, he is the head of a Texas-based research group called “Thoughtful House.” There, he and his colleagues continue their research. Meanwhile, various large-scale studies in the US and Denmark seem to refute Wakefield’s initial findings. The official perspective of the CDC is that there is no proven connection between live-virus vaccines and autism

I've been worrying about this myself. My brother has a mild form of autism called Aspbergers. Its not like the kind of autism you see. He is extrememly intelligent and hes a totally normal kid who can function normally and everything. He just has some sensory issues and social issues. This type of autism is said to run in families, mainly males. I also have 1 uncle with it, and 3 cousins, all male. I was worried about it when I found out I was having a boy. Now back to the shots thing, theres a chance it can be from the MMR, but IDK... Either way, my son can end up having Autism. Its not the end of the world... No matter what your still going to love your child.

When I tired asking the pedi about it, all he told me was there could be a chance but it is highly doubtful, and waiting to get the shots, or not getting them at all is risky.

i would rather have my son get autism in my opinion then to get sick from a disease that could kill him

as scary as it is, i will defintly still get the shots. i take the risk, than the illnesses that can happen without. but thank you for the info!
