Autism in non vaccinated kids, ever heard of?

Tons. There are more instances of autism in children who are not vaccinated than there are in children who have been vaccinated. There is definitely a genetic component in autism. It's more prevalent in males than females, and it's more likely to occur in the same family more than once. In fact, a few months back I saw a story while watching the news that said they pinpointed the exact gene in DNA strands that people with autism have as a different gene than those who do not have autism. Therefore, vaccinations do not cause autism. They could trigger it, but they don't cause it. Just like if you have a gene for an allergy--it may not be triggered unless you're exposed to something that bothers it.

There’s no real proof that vaccinations causes Autism. Autism and vaccinations happen around the same time, but it could just be the child's age and how fast they are growing and changing.

That being said, not all children who are vaccinated develop it. It might be serous allergy to a vaccination, but I wouldn't put my child at risk for developing a fatal illness (like polio or smallpox) because I was afraid of an allergy.

Autism can also be caused by too high of a fever too early in life. That happened to a friend of mine’s baby.

Other than that, they really have no clue what causes it, they’re just guessing and the medical community seems to be wrong a lot.

of course kids that are not vaccinated can and do get autism as well. this is a big reason why they cannot blame, or fully blame, vaccinations for the uprise in autism. they haven't found a direct cause for autism, probably because there isn't one. i'm sure, just as they have been able to find, that there are many causes and often times it is more of a collection f risk factors that lead to a child developing autism. i have to wonder if they will find some gene or chromosome that autistic people have that makes them more susceptible to develop autism after environmental factors have also been added to the mix.

Oh yes indeed My son Thomas attends a special school 16 children there have not had the vaccine but have the severe form of autism, My twin son Thomas was vaccinated as was his twin sister Thomas also has severe autism, i do not blame the vaccine for this but genes i know some do not agree but i think this in my heart, autism is one of those things in my eyes there was an outbreak of measles at Tom's school and a child died my son also caught measles and was really ill, but the vaccine helped protect him the other child was unvaccinated.

Well, since autism has been around longer than many of the vaccinations, I would think so.

Autism is not a disease solely caused by vaccinations; that can't even be proved anyway.

Kids do everything. You're probably right. It doesn't mean anything other than that you have some bad parents in the neighborhood. They will not grow up to be serial killers. You have no idea how much I rolled my eyes at the other comment! The reason why kids want to do that stuff is both curiosity and because they're "not supposed to". It's the job of the parents to help channel that energy elsewhere. It's not enough to just spout rhetoric and hope your kid turns into a know-it-all that believes everything adults say. That's where the world is headed these days.

Yes. My sister decided not to vaccinate her son because of the "link" between that and autism. She had a plan with her doctor to do it at a later age. He was diagnosed with autism at age 2, before he received his shots.

I don't know the answer but this study suggests that there are non vaccinated children who do have autism. However, the rate is higher with vaccinated ones.

I have heard of many. Several right here on Y!A.

I think it is possible.
