Default Autistic syndrome (Kanner) and vaccination against smallpox (author's transl)

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/q...st_uids=944354

[Article in German]

Eggers C.

3-4 weeks following an otherwise uncomplicated first vaccination against
smallpox a boy, then aged 15 months and last seen at the age of 5 1/2 years,
gradually developed a complete Kanner syndrome. The question whether
vaccination and early infantile autism might be connected is being
discussed. A causal relationship is considered extremely unlikely. But
vaccination is recognized as having a starter function for the onset of
autism.
