No, vaccines don’t cause autism

While there is absolutely no evidence that vaccines cause autism, it remains one of the most persistent myths surrounding vaccines to date. 

But where did this myth begin? Who started it? Finally, why is the claim that vaccines cause autism completely unfounded? 

Answers to those questions on this factsheet

The clinical definition of autism is “a lifelong neurodevelopmental condition that affects the way a person communicates and relates to people and the world around them”. All autistic lives are equal in worth to any other life. Autism is not a disease or an illness to be treated or cured. All autistic lives matter.
