Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) — VICP cases

This page indexes every case in the VICP Registry categorized as Autism spectrum disorder (ASD). There are 104 such cases.

What the record shows: The VICP has decided 104 cases categorized as Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) since 2002. 1 (1%) ended in compensation. The median time from petition filing to decision was 76.4 months. The vaccine most frequently named in these petitions was MMR. Figures are computed from the published court decisions indexed on this page; every case links to its original source document. Compensation reflects the court's application of the program's legal standards to an individual claim — it is not a medical or scientific finding about vaccines generally.
