I have been told more than once from parents of children with autism, it's the shots they give the babies/toddlers. I don't have enough knowledge to say which shot it is but apparently there is one that has mercury in it. I have a cousin and 2 friends both that there children have this and all were born normal. This showed up after the baby shots i think around the age of 2.
