What ever happened to the idea that this was caused by the shots given to kids? Was this ever proven?

No, CDC says there is no link whatsoever.
Most of us paranoid parents are unconvinced.
It sure seems like SOMETHING happened about 15 years ago to cause the spike.

some people theorized ... thimersol (a mercury preservative) is a possible culprit ...
it is probably a multi-faceted disorder ... all autistics are the same ... maybe a percentage of the population has immune system defiencies where the levels of thimersol in vaccines (and maybe in concert with other stuff) cause damage ...
in others in maybe a gene thing ...
in others ... who knows ... it seems like multiple different problems ... the rate is rising at an alarming rate ... how will society handle this when all these kids become adults ...
i post this from a personal concern.!

Not proven, but not disproven.

I've heard all of the various chemicals added to the foods we eat these days are going to cause problems that we can't even begin to fathom for years to come (and I'm not talking about the growth hormones that we can easily notice either).
I'm cynical about a lot of the things we do to kids these days - it seems like half the schools I see have playgrounds not much bigger than a basketball court, and with all of time devoted to the testing and pre-testing and practice testing that No Child Left Behind has caused, etc., in addition to all of that, everytime I hear somebody say their kid has one of the alphabet diseases/whatever, I'm thinking their kid is not getting much of a recess at school, so that they end up with all of this pent-up energy that has no where to go and is diagnosed with a short attention span and is drugged to here and back, and they get home and plant their butts on the couch and play video games, and they aren't eating right to begin with, and I've gone into old-man mode again :-0
