There have been some huge and controversial debates regarding vaccines and their relationship to autism. Some parents are convinced that certain types of vaccines, especially measles, mumps and rubella, and protective equipment used in other childhood vaccines, play a significant role in the development of autism in children. Some of these prejudices because even stop making children immunized. Parents are asked whether a substance to cause autism, which contains mercury saymerosal (used in vaccines as a means of protection). To date, except for certain types of flu vaccines, none of the vaccines in the United States to protect children against 12 infectious diseases are not contained saymerosal as a protective agent. (The flu vaccine can now be with or without content saymerosal). Moreover, the study found no relationship between vaccines containing saymerosal and autism. Parents are also interested in whether the vaccine against measles, mumps and rubella vaccine when one combines three, causes the symptoms of autism. This is because the symptoms are about the same time. To answer this question, researchers from Europe, Canada and the U.S. began to pay more attention to this issue. During the study examined the time the vaccine and the vaccine by itself and found no link between vaccines and autism. Due to the fact that autism sometimes can reach an incredible scale, but its causes are not fully understood, some parents will continue to believe the assumptions, despite the obvious facts. In some areas were even outbreaks of dangerous diseases, because people refused to be vaccinated.

Introduction
Autism is a developmental disorder of the nervous system. Autistic children are distorted by the reaction of "complex recovery" characterized by emotional readiness to communicate with adults. The components of the reaction occur in the absence of recovery of adult and relate to inanimate objects, such as a toy hanging above the bed (Fombonne & Chakrabarti, 2001). Symptoms usually persist in adults, albeit often in a gentle way. Other common symptoms include lack of social interaction; impaired reciprocal communication; and limited repertoire of interests and repetitive behavior. Social disturbances become apparent in early childhood. Infants with autism pay very low amount of attention to the societal stimuli, and they very rarely gaze at other people, rarely respond to own name (Johnson & Myers, 2007). The causes of autism are unknown in a majority of cases, but many researchers believe it is the result of some environmental factor that interacts with a genetic susceptibility. Despite the many disparate reports of acts of violence and the manifestation of aggressiveness on the part of individuals with autism spectrum disorders, systematic research on this topic is limited and subject to controversies (Roberts et al, 2002).
Wakefield et al (1998) observed a series of 12 children from September to December 1998 in relation to autism development (Wakefield et al, 1998). Dr. Wakefield went in investigation of gastrointestinal symptoms with regressive neurological syndrome ...
