Since I wrote this article in 2008, the rate of autism -- according to the government -- has gotten much, much worse as our govt. and "best" experts are still mystified as to how to reverse this. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/the-open-question-on-vaccines-and-autism/ …https://twitter.com/dkegel/status/987853815687790592 …

Since back then, strong evidence has been found for prenatal causes, e.g. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29346770 implicates a number of mutations, and suggests a mechanism for how valproic acid causes ASD. It's an exciting time - we're actually learning a lot about the causes of autism!

Yes all those genetic mutations in one generation. How exciting! (But whatever you do, don't look at those studies that suggest some links to vaccines, and particularly don't listen to the CDC scientist who says they have covered this up. He can't be telling the truth.)

*shrug* Many studies have looked at whether vaccines are involved, and the answer seems to be 'no'; see https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24814559 . The evidence for prenatal causes, by comparison, is quite compelling (see above).

but those with genetic predispositions or other exposures or underlying risks do... And here's just a few of the scientists/peer reviewed studies who believe their research suggests a link. https://sharylattkisson.com/2016/11/27/what-the-news-isnt-saying-about-vaccine-autism-studies/ …

The 1st & 4th researchers on your list, Tomljenovic & Shaw, have had several papers retracted; see https://retractionwatch.com/?s=Tomljenovic & https://retractionwatch.com/?s=Christopher+Shaw … The 2nd & 3rd, DeSoto & Hitlan, appear to now focus on prenatal causes of autism. Note the trend?

So I guess you could say: it's complicated ... and full of conflicts of interest, misreporting, conflicted "science," propaganda campaigns, lots of $$$ behind social media, news, scientific journal efforts to control research/opinions. Wherever you sit.
