By the time my son was four, his autism had been diagnosed by two neurologists, two psychiatrists, and an MD who specialized in treating kids w/autism. Then when he was almost five, we began aggressively treating his autism as a neuro-immune disorder triggered by environmental toxins such as the thimerosal in his vaccines.
I’ll be sure and tell him (he’s twelve now) that his recovery from autism is a figment of all of our imaginations. He’ll have a good laugh over that.
FYI, Sallie Bernard (of SafeMinds) did not “disavow” the study referred to above. She asked the NEJM to publish her dissenting comments because she asserted that “The study’s many limitations [which she enumerated] preclude sweeping conclusions on thimerosal’s effects.”
