I am frustrated that they used the words of TWO people with autism to claim that what they feel is what the entire autism community feels and believes. This article undermines the research that has proven that mercury DOES cause developmental problems. It undermines the suffering that MANY children with autism experience. It undermines the very TRUE burden many have with trying to exist in a world that has very little transparency in the ingredients in our food and in our medications/vaccinations.
I am happy that these two people didn't suffer, but I know that my child did.. and still does suffer. For years my son screamed every time I touched him.. he was unable to exist in his world without large amounts of pain and anguish. Its much better now, but that doesn't erase what he went through.. and what so many still experience. I feel I am very much NOT the only one that feels this way. I wish this article wasn't so one sided. :-(
