What has been alleged as a cause for autism for which there is no proof but some parents following this misinformation have placed the children at risk of serious illness or death?

You may be referring to the totally unfounded suspicion that some cases of autism are cause by immunizations. To avoid this imaginary problem some parents chose not to immunize their children at all. While some may just wait a while, or pick and choose which immunizations to give their child and which ones they will not. This puts their children and their whole community at risk of disease.
