It's great that the government is funding the research of Autism to stop assuming the cause of it and try to reach to the truth behind it and make the people more aware of it and how to help :) In my opinion, it’s very important to explore more to find the cause of Autism to help us discover the way to cure it and help minimize the number of people being diagnosed with it.

It linked vaccines such as MMR to behavioral problems such as autism. Here is the link to the article: http://www.npr.org/blogs/health/2010/02/lancet_wakefield_autism_mmr_au.html Are there any reliable longitudinal studies regarding the possible link between vaccines and autism? Is Wakefield's paper going to hurt the cause for further research or possibly encourage new, reliable research?

I don't believe that anyone should be making assumptions or placing blame in either direction until there is enough science behind it. It's great to see that autism is being made more aware, but as far as a cause for it, I think there should be more research. I am neither here nor there on the topic.
