I remember my sister (a special needs teacher with many years experience in schools for autistic children) pointing out that the first observable symptoms of the condition generally develop at around the age of two - and always have, long before the introduction of the MMR vaccine (which just happens to be administered at around the same age).

The apparent increase in cases in the modern era is entirely to do with improved diagnosis (even a certain bias towards it), not a greater frequency of occurrence. It's still a much misunderstood disorder, in popular culture.
