According to the study I found, 1 in ~300 Amish have autism. 1 in 90 of the regular population have autism.
The fear of autism shows people are in fact paying attention; whether vaccines "cause it" of course is really the question...

The Amish seem to have families quite young whilst the rest of us are slaving away trying to get a house in the suburbs before we have children.
I'd consider that to be a better correlation than vaccines.
Amish are far less likely to take their kids to the Dr. and the Amish family life is quite different from the rest of America. So behaviors that cause problems in public schools are not a concern there.
