would the fact that autistic adults are more likely to be unvaccinated be relevant

I was working on the discrimination against autistic people wikipedia page and in a study on healthcare disparities it stated autistic adults were less likely to have received a tetanus vaccine - is this relevant to this page? it strikes me as somewhat ironic that there is a relationship in that autistic people are less likely to have been vaccinated, the opposite of what believers in the debunked claims in this article would think.^[1] Thanks Feralcateater000 (talk) 16:45, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

French article featured

I noticed that the French article on the same topic is a featured article, and translating from it may be useful. I won't add a template because templates are ugly and I'm not sure if translating from the French article is useful. FunLater (talk) 00:16, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
