I actually did know a girl whose autism was caused by immunizations. She was one of the very few, very rare cases that they could prove without a doubt was linked to the shots. It was really a case of malpractice on someone's part, though I don't know that anyone sued. She was extremely premature - ten weeks or so - and she was give immunizations on schedule rather than on a schedule that took into account when she should have been born. Despite her prematurity, she was developing appropriately and then at about the age of two months, she received an immunization (not sure what one) and had a seizure very soon after - I don't recall the details, but it may have even been during the shot or before she left the dr's office.
She received money from some special fund that the pharmaceutical companies have to fund that is for the very few children whose problem is proven to be caused by those shots.
But... this is very, very, very rare, from what I understand.
