The number of Scottish primary schoolchildren diagnosed with autism has risen by 18 per cent in a year. The increase has prompted fresh calls for independent research into possible links with the MMR vaccine.
The number of children aged under 12 with the condition increased by 120 in a year, taking the total to 778 in Scotland, according to latest statistics.
About 54,000 children under two years old were vaccinated with the MMR in Scotland last year, which amounts to 92.9 per cent of the total.
