Pseudoscience
All though many perceive autism is caused by vaccines there is no linkage between the two. Symptoms of autism tend to show at the same time certain vaccines are given. The other perceived causation of Aspergers is from "bad" parenting. The term refrigerator mother was created as a result of mothers being distant from their children from showing any type of affection. This lead to the belief due to lack of affection and nurture the child would likely to have Aspergers. This soon was discovered to be false with the lack of evidence to support this causation.
