This is all pretty much 100% bullshit. Your wife isn't a medical doctor, either. I don't understand how you can trust a psychologist about such a serious medical issue that has nothing to do with psychology.

Definitely agree with Ash's point about your wife having a Masters in Psychology, not exactly the credentials I'd be looking to for an informed view on the subject.

Being in a similar field myself, the recognition of signs of autism at or around the 18th month mark is hardly conclusive evidence to say it is caused by 18 month vaccines. It is not uncommon for symptoms of autism and other developmental disorders to be over looked in children until they have reached later stages of infancy.

However, I can see how such an overload of simultaneous vaccines could be potentially harmful.

I am not going to say everything Funkydays said is complete nonsense without giving all his points a further look, but it does sound suspiciously alarmist mixed with vague facts.

FD, if you don't mind posting the pdfs of the journal articles you mentioned, preferably with page numbers for the information in question, that would be great and would save me a lot of time trying to track them down on my own.
