If I might speculate for a moment, there has been a recent discovery of a correlation between a condition during pregnancy, and autism.

Keep in mind, it is not suggesting the mothers are at fault for gaining weight, but that possibly the weight gain is a correlation/indicator for a deeper problem that is responsible for both problems.
If the correlation is established that early in the pregnancy, the only possible link vaccines could have, is whatever vaccinations the mother may have had during or prior to pregnancy. (Not yet studied)

There may have also been financial incentive for the failed earlier studies.
