mmr jab and austim

i cant help but wonder if austim is just a side affect of the mmr jab i dont think it is but can anyone help by proving my right that austim is not just a side affect of the mmr jab?

Hi Major,
You might want to take a look at the discussion here about the Wakefield study that suggested a link between the two, as a starting point -

It's worth noting that autism was around long before the MMR jab. For people who think there is a connection it's about the jab causing something more more often than was normal before - not that autism was just a side-effect of the jab.
