Right now they don’t know all the things that cause autism. There is a chance that the ingredients in the flu shot given once a year can trigger autism in children especially if they are a carrier of the gene. Also they say that two parents that carry the gene can pass it to their child(ren) but they can’t yet find the exact gene that causes it to predict who will get it or anything. So it is really hard to say if the meth triggered it or not.
