No, Dr. Wakefield was offered money to prove MMR was safe and when he looked into the lack of safety studies (and the fact that kids are only followed up for 3 weeks), he came to the opposite conclusion. They did not want him to look into this at all, that's why research teams are having to look into it in America.
What about these?
http://aut.sagepub.com/content/12/3/293.abstract (implicating acetaminophen as well).
http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/101/3/383.abstract - acute encephalopathy after measles vaccine where the surviving children suffered mental regression and retardation, chronic seizures, motor and sensory deficits, and movement disorders (sounds a lot like autism!) - in fact, there's a few kids been compensated because the parent's referred to their autism as encephalopathy rather than autism, even though they had the same symptoms.
And this one:

This one is interesting because it was done in 1997, a year before Andrew's paper and before any controversy. It mentions measles virus and live measles virus vaccine as a cause of IBD and crohns disease. Since the biggest part of the immune system is in the gut, if the measles vaccine did cause this reaction, that could hypothetically damage immune function and result in neurological disorder.
And this one:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/944354
This is about smallpox vaccine and says:
'Abstract
3-4 weeks following an otherwise uncomplicated first vaccination against smallpox a boy, then aged 15 months and last seen at the age of 5 1/2 years, gradually developed a complete Kanner syndrome. The question whether vaccination and early infantile autism might be connected is being discussed. A causal relationship is considered extremely unlikely. But vaccination is recognized as having a starter function for the onset of autism.

Vaccination is recognized as having a starter function for the onset of autism, not just MMR, but all vaccination, and they knew this in 1976 before a lot of today's young parents were even born and years before Wakefield's concerns.
