Study compared observed rise in reported autism incidences in California verses increase in MMR coverage from 1980-1994. However, the numbers representing the increase in autism cases may not truly represent a rise in cases as the system reporting these numbers was expanding, definitions of autism were changing, etc. See conclusion of the report.

The upper 2 curves indicate the percentages of children receiving MMR immunization by 17 and 24 months of age, respectively. The lower curve indicates the number of cases of children with autism[2](http://jama.jamanetwork.com/article.aspx?articleid=193604#REF-JBR00284-2) (and California Department of Development Services, unpublished data, 2000). The vertical dotted line at birth year 1988 is provided as a temporal reference point in comparing the shapes of these curves.
