There's been a lot of focus on autism causes lately in the wake of the CDC concluding that one in every 150 kids will be autistic. While there's certainly room for debate on what the rapid rise in causes could be, one study believes that it's not being caused by a component of toxic mercury.I'd still like to know if autism is now being diagnosed more correctly (in higher quantities) and what all other variable measurements there are to why a sudden increase in the last decade and a half.
Thimerosal, a preservative made with mercury, has not been found to be a cause of autism, according to recent research. Does that mean anything with mercury in it does not cause autism? The jury will be out for a while on that I would think.
