How autism in girls may help reveal the disorder's secrets

The suspect: vaccines.

I was skeptical about the vaccine link to autism until my daughter convinced me to watch the documentary "Trace Amounts". The evidence presented, and those individuals who supported it, were very compelling.

So compelling that the fact that the connection has been so completely debunked it's ridiculous is ignored by you?

So ridiculous that in July 1999, the Public Health Service agencies, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and vaccine manufacturers agreed that thimerosal should be reduced or eliminated in vaccines? By 2001 it was completely removed from all vaccines in the US, however, it is still included in vaccines sold in the developing world.

And of course Autism after 2001 disappeared from US righ?

Its obvious that anybody working with vaccines knows about the importance of vaccinating, so if the population is fooled into fearing an ingredient that can be replaced, the easiest way to deal with this is just eliminate that ingredient instead of trying to convince people that don't care about evidence anymore. The problem is that health authorities failed to consider that this kind of people are not so good at reasoning either so instead of vaccinating again now that the dreaded thimerosal was no longer included, they instead began to search for other excuses to reject the vaccines.

Putting in higher risk their own children and the population in general is not something that this kind of people care about, therefore the huge amount of research that has been done both in autism and vaccines (such as the article is talking about) is wasted on them. As long as is against what they believe they will reject all amount of evidence presented, and if it fits with their mistaken beliefs then they will believe even known crooks and convicted liars.
