A court ruling isn’t scientific evidence that vaccines cause autism.

You're right about that! And in this case, not only isn't it scientific evidence, that's not even what the court said - the court ruled that the vaccine caused Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis (ADEM).

ADEM is a rare but known complication of vaccination or apparently benign viral infections. One source I found gave the incidence from all causes as .4 per 100,000 per year, and said that most children with ADEM recover completely.

So the court did not rule that the vaccination caused autism or an autism spectrum disorder.
