Coming from a 'science' background, I admit that the human data does not support a link between vaccinations and autism.

However, there is research in mice suggesting that vaccinations can cause significant increases in inflammatory compounds (such as IL-6). The adjuvant in the vaccine is designed to activate your immune system so that the vaccine will 'take'.

Scientists are beginning to appreciate a connection between the immune system and psychiatric disorders. For example depression is routinely associated with elevated IL-6 levels. Many of the genes showing links to schizophrenia and autism are immune related (rather than neurotransmitter related).

I react very negatively to annual vaccinations. I experience acute euphoria followed by insomnia and then destabilization. This could correspond to a rise in IL-6 levels (which can persist for weeks - at least in rodent studies).

I would imagine that activation of the immune system, paired with some other predisposing genetic factor, could unmask or worsen autism and / or other psychiatric disorders.

I would imagine that some individuals have a much stronger immune response to the vaccine, and that this could be genetic. High levels of inflammation in the developing CNS could cause neurotoxicity.

So, I do believe that there could be a yet uncovered link - at least that a mechanism exists in theory.
