2. Are viruses linked to autism?

Several researchers and parents have asserted viruses – both in vaccines and "wild" viruses – may be linked to autism.

Dr. Andrew Wakefield of Great Britain first raised the concern that the MMR vaccine may cause autism in his the late 1990s and the debate continues today.

ARI's founder Dr. Bernard Rimland wrote about the MMR vaccine's role in autism for the Autism Research Review International.

See transcript of the Paula Zahn (CNN) interviewed Dr. Rimland in November 2002.

There are numerous peer-reviewed studies regarding viruses and bacteria in autism research.
