These studies are not well formed. There is an easier way to test for vaccine damage leading to autism. Compare children with any dosage of vaccines vs children that never received any dosage of a vaccine. The Amish in a very good study found that no Amish born children had autism. A rate of 0. Compared to those children that had autism all have been vaccinated. This enough is for me to know that while one or a single dose does not lead to autism possibly (though i have doubts here too) that many dosages of various vaccines combined in certain ways may lead to autism. This causal path is complex, for certain, but it is clear it is a non zero probability that you will be autistic (and if you watch that new show, telepathic).

Source? Are the Amish regularly screened for autism?

Also, the Amish are (a) far from the only unvaccinated population and (b) different from other Americans in other major ways. (The one that comes to mind is air pollution [1].)

The factor that comes to mind for me is genetic isolation, probably a much stronger factor. For instance, the Amish also have a famously higher incidence of Ellis-van Creveld syndrome than the general population.
