I believe there are many probable reasons for the development of autism. I think the main one is genetic, but can then be triggered by exposures during infancy and childhood. I have read studies and stats that indicate induction is a possible risk factor. I don't think it's out of the question that vaccines might also be a risk factor. But you have to weigh up your genetic predisposition with the risks of not inducing, vaccinating and whatever other factors come into play. The Wakefield study received so much criticism I took it with skepticism.
Also, I think how/whether your child physically reacts to a vaccination is probably an indicator of the level of effect.
