MMR, for example is not even given until the age of 1 year and the second time at the age of 4. Other vaccines are scheduled in boosters at 2, 4, 6, and 12 months of age with the exception of Hepatitis B which is first given at birth in the state of KY).
I dont think the rise of autism has anything to do with vaccines. I think it has to do with the overwhelming amount of preservatives/chemicals in our foods.

Do you think that it might have nothing to do with anything but being able to diagnose it more accurately and having more advances in "treatment" (by that I mean coping skills and what not) and other diagnostic methods? I'm thinking that it has always existed, but there wasn't a name for it as much knowledge as we have now, so it appears to be on the rise but potentially just wasn't diagnosed.
