It is interesting that the article is from December of 2005. It looks like very few people noticed the story when it first came out.
I had heard about the reports that the Amish were reporting no cases of autism and no vaccinations, but I had decided that there were enough other reasons why Amish folks might not have autism (genetics) that I just filed it away as interesting anecdotal evidence.
This story provides a more compelling story that vaccinations are implicated as a causitive factor in autism.
Combined with the Amish community's experience, there is certainly a compelling case to investigate thoroughly.
