No, but I have a brother with Down's Syndrome, does that count?

Although I'm not sure what that has to do with anything.

No, Down's Syndrome is absolutely not the same thing as Autism and is not caused by vaccines. I do have an autistic son, and my experience and the experience of others have caused us to wonder if there is a link between vaccinations and Autism.

There is a link. It isn't a direct causal relationship.... but there is a link. MMR causes IBS, the IBS causes Autism.

Sadly, I know a bit about this topic. I have a form of Autism... onset occured shortly after a very bad "reaction" to the MMR.
