I really don't think vaccines are the main cause. First they were accusing the mercury in them, and now it's removed and they're still blaming the vaccines. If they have an influence, it's probably not more than everything else kids get in contact with nowadays. I had a talk with my pediatrician and his view is that one of the reasons of the rise is that more and more symptoms are classified as autism now, even though they're really not 'new'.

In the end though, it's really not surprising. Just look around. There are chemicals everywhere, pollution, and unless you live in a bubble I don't think you can really avoid the exposure, even if you can afford organic and green products. At this rate we'll all die of cancer in 50 years.
