I believe that the MMR vaccine itself can cause autism ( before we would have just thought of the person as eccentric)
Surely what the traits were referred to in the past has nothing to do with the vaccine?
The reason people who would now be diagnosed with ASDs were called "eccentric" in the past is because autism was much less widely understood by both professionals and the general public.
People were referred to as "eccentric" because their characteristics did not fit in with the norm. "Eccentric" was just a word to describe unusual characteristics, just as "Autism" is a word to describe certain characteristics that differ from the social norm.
They are both just words that are used to indicate a set of traits. What has the vaccination got to do with this?

You are 17 I can read. Question:
"How many children do you have had that got vaccinated?"
I don't quite understand what my age or lack of children has got to do with anything.
My brothers and I were all vaccinated and my mother doesn't believe in the vaccination theory at all and neither do I.
