Not all vaccines are used world wide, and not all countries make it mandatory to get all vaccines. But the number of autistic children in other countries pale in comparison to those in the USA. Could just be a coincidence.

Hell, it could be something the parents did / ate / abused. Our parents didn't eat as much processed food, but our generation gobbled that shit up. Different chemicals in cigarettes now, high fructose corn syrup... and so on. Much of that our generation consumed in one way or another, and was super-sized along the way. It just so happens that our kids are the generation that has the most cases of autism.

Like I said, I'm not ruling anything out. But I have to lean on the idea that the main reason for the large increase is made made.
