Among those who had an older brother with this diagnosis, only 6.9% had ASD; those who did not have an older brother with ASD were diagnosed in 0.9% of cases.

Children without an older brother with ASD were vaccinated against measles, mumps and rubella in 92% of cases under 5 years old, 84% under the age of 2 years. If the older brother with ASD was, 86% of children under 5 years old were vaccinated and 73% were under two years old.

Scientists from the Institute of Medicine also found no link between the CPC vaccine for autism in children. “Vaccines promise to protect against various infectious diseases.
