Autism might be the result of reduced immune cell activity. Immune cells (I don't remember which ones) are responsible for neural pruning. It is thought that the brain of someone with autism has not been pruned properly, and has too many synapses. Do vaccinations affect the immune system in such a way as to affect neural pruning? Although the empirical data seems definitive that they do not, it is not totally unreasonable that one should look at the immune system as participating in the genesis of autism. That being said, it seems that autism is genetic and is already determined at birth.
