Has anyone heard of a link between a higher rate of autism in children getting vaccinated if they have a grandparent with Parkinson's?

A scary thought Ann. My youngest Grandson is autistic.
I did what research I could on any relationship and only found these references, but nothing specific to grandparents. I found this abstract, but it does not comment on a connection: Résumé / AbstractI did however find information about Vitamin D deficiency in Autism, which is also found to be a deficiency in PD.

goodmorning,
I had a great aunt diagnosed w/ PD, & met her when I was a child... Autism is also linked with Vaccinations... _____________ Study illuminates link between Parkinson's and vitamin D More research is shedding light on the role that the sunshine vitamin (aka vitamin D) plays in maintaining good health. The latest study has found that people with Parkinson's disease are more likely than healthy adults to have low levels of this nutrient. But researchers can't say yet whether a lack of vitamin D might be a cause of the disease or a consequence. skipping down the articles says: The fact that people with Parkinson's had less vitamin D than those with Alzheimer's was especially interesting to researchers. This suggests, they say, that low vitamin D may be uniquely linked to Parkinson's rather than to neurodegenerative diseases in general. They point out, however, that low vitamin D might be a result of Parkinson's rather than a cause, as movement problems may limit how often people with Parkinson's go outdoors. This could mean less time in the sun and less vitamin D. What you need to know. The study suggests a possible link between a lack of vitamin D and Parkinson's disease, but what this link means is unclear. If future research shows that low vitamin D is connected to the development of Parkinson's, then this might point to new ways to prevent and treat the disease. But the research is at an early stage. http://blogs.consumerreports.org/hea...nsons-and.html
