study which supposedly linked vaccines to autism officially retracted

fascinating.  i wonder if this will influence anyone who hasn't had their kid vaccinated because of the whole 'MMR = liquid autism' debate??

 

Autism-vaccine study retracted

A medical journal in Britain has retracted a controversial study it published in 1998 that linked the use of a vaccine in children to autism.

The study retracted Tuesday looked at 12 children suffering from colitis, a gastrointestinal disease.

Asperger's and High Functioning Autism

I have always have trouble explaining autism and aspergers (a common type of High Functioning Asbergers). Whatever I read seems to be vague. However I recently realised that there were a lot of Youtube videos made by children, teens, and adults with Autism, Learning disabilities, and Aspergers.
