How many buy into the Vaccine-ASD correlation?

[Withnail88]

Hello, I am new here. I am still technically awaiting a diagnosis, but It's looking like I might be Aspie, so hello!
My mom's really into the idea that our vaccines are so packed full of junk and we get them when we're so little that there may be a correlation.
I know Miss Jenny McCarthy is a big advocate of this theory as well. If that's the case, then it certainly sucks that we acquired this at the hands of our doctors.
I think it's bull though. But my mom doesn't.
Opinions?

All of that stuff has been thoroughly discredited at this point.

MMR vaccine controversy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Claims of a connection between the vaccine and autism were raised in a 1998 paper in The Lancet, a respected British medical journal. Investigation by Sunday Times journalist Brian Deer discovered that the lead author of the article, Andrew Wakefield, had multiple undeclared conflicts of interest, had manipulated evidence, and had broken other ethical codes. The Lancet paper was retracted, and Wakefield was found guilty by the General Medical Council of serious professional misconduct in May 2010 and was struck off the Medical Register, meaning he could no longer practice as a doctor in the UK. The research was declared fraudulent in 2011 by the BMJ.
