Partial list of scientific studies linking the MMR vaccine and autism:
Following are some of the scientific studies that demonstrate the MMR vaccine to be a significant causal factor in autism. Note that these studies are consistently ignored in the medical establishment’s publications claiming that there is no evidence for vaccine-caused autism.

Thanks for this! I didn't have this pulled together, though I know it exists.
That may do the trick with this level of poster -- I'm still reading through the thread in order -- and maybe he/she has dropped and is looking for their straight pin while you rescabbard your Damascene-ornamented broadsword -- ha ha!
