A new study in "The Journal of Pediatrics" finds that a child's risk for developing an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is not increased by giving the child "too many vaccines too soon." More than 1 in 10 parents refuse or delay vaccinations for their young children, despite scientific proof that vaccines do not cause autism. Some parents fear that the total number of vaccines given in early childhood may increase the risk of autism. http://www.nimh.nih.gov/science-news/2013/autism-risk-unrelated-to-total-vaccine-exposure-in-early-childhood.shtml
