Is autism the result of childhood immunizations?
The loss of language skills in autistic children usually occurs when they receive their first set of immunizations. This has given rise to the theory that it is a reaction to the immunizations, or a reaction to contaminants in immunizations. This has been hotly debated, and it continues to be a debate, but the vast majority of experts in the field do not believe that this has anything to do with the cause of autistic disorder.
