Doesn't delete the fact this happened.
The 'study' is over 4 years old and fatally flawed from the outset. I'm not going to pursue it further, but from what I can find this woman is working from an agenda and is NOT an MD.
I don't believe that vaccinations should be mandatory, I don't believe that vaccinations are completely harmless, but I'm not going to hitch my wagon to THIS woman.
I have no idea why the Hewitson macaque-vaccine "study" is being presented as news, or as meaningful. Hewitson's team's research (and ethics) were severely criticized from 2008 to 2010 by research scientists. Also, I don't think either the amygdala growth study or the HepB study have been replicated.
First it's Catherine J. Frompovich at VacTruth on April 29, 2012:
Monkeys Get Autism-like Reactions to MMR & Other Vaccines In University of Pittsburgh Vaccine Study
Then Ethan A. Huff at Natural News picks up the beat on May 6, 2012:
Vaccine bombshell: Baby monkeys given standard doses of popular vaccines develop autism symptoms
Both stories go on to represent the Hewitson monkey studies as (a) fact (b) news. They are neither.
No, the macaques in the study did not develop "autism like reactions". No, you can't draw any conclusions from the studies. All you can really tell is that twenty infant macaques (and maybe fewer) were subjected to invasive procedures and death -- for no benefit.
I had all my vaccinations, and I don't have autism. In fact, the vast majority of children vaccinated did not develop autism either.
Vaccines do not cause autism. There might be other variables, drug use, the age of the father is more closely tied to autism than vaccines. These studies start out with a conclusion, then all results that don't agree with the conclusion are rejected.

Really, the ten fold increase in autism can be explained by drug use and the age of the father? Since, in the vast majority of cases, we do not know the cause of autism, vaccines cannot be ruled out. An honest study or studies between the vaccinated and unvaccinated is called for.

You also have to take into account the fact that the definition of autism has shifted in the past 20 years. Before recently aspies were just considered geeky or anti-social, not autisitc.
Deep in the core of the vaccine-autism link crowd is a fevered desire to find someone else they can blame for the condition of thier children. The fact that it might be your own genes, or even waiting longer to have children would put the "blame" on thier shoulders. With vaccines you have an easy out to blame someone else.

Well, they used to blame refrigerator mothers back in the day. Now we are going to blame the parents again? Perhaps you should get back in your Edsel and drive over a cliff.
I do not believe geeky or anti-social can be confused with autism. One would have to be ignorant of autism to make such a suggestion.
Their definitely is a genetic link, but that does not explain the increase. They must be a trigger or triggers.

Notice I put "blame" in quotes, as when something genetic happens there is nothing to blame except biology. Its in the parents own mind that they would blame themeselves, and thus, like most people, would love to be able to shift that guilt onto something else.
As for asparagers, most people diagnosed with it are quite functional, just with social interaction issues. Look deeper into it for a better understanding. Autism used to mean seriously autistic, now it covers a much wider spectrum.
And as for the Edsel/cliff thing, we can try to keep this civil, or you can go fuck yourself with a sharpened tire iron and we can go all asshole with this, either way I'm good.

As far as Aspergers goes, it is on a spectrum, but it is a litte more serious than anti-social behavior, and there is typically significant dysfunction. You might try educating yourself because you appear ignorant.
That's keeping it civil BOY????...... You tell me to F---- myself???????

It was a choice, you went with the insult first, I reciprocated. Still in your court.
Besides the social interaction issues what are the other symptoms of Asparagers that put it on the line of more serious autistic disorders?
