The following studies are currently the most important regarding the relationship between thimerosal and neurodevelopmental disorders, including:

 MERCURY TOXICOLOGY REPORT: Everything you want to know about the harmful effects of mercury

• WHAT IS MERCURY?

• WHAT HAPPENS TO MERCURY WHEN IT ENTERS THE ENVIRONMENT?

• HOW MIGHT I BE EXPOSED TO MERCURY?

• HOW CAN MERCURY ENTER AND LEAVE MY BODY?

This REVIEW rebuts those who claim that there is no increase in autism associated with vaccination and
clearly establishes that Thimerosal-preserved vaccines are a major cause of the current 'autism'
epidemic in the USA. ~ By Paul G. King, PhD, CoMeD Science Advisor, Science Advisor to the National Coalition of Organized Women (NCOW), and a Science Advisor to StS and other groups

1. Theoretical aspects of autism: Causes—A review
   Autism, a member of the pervasive developmental disorders (PDDs), has been increasing dramatically since its description by Leo Kanner in 1943. First estimated to occur in 4 to 5 per 10,000 children, the incidence of autism is now 1 per 110 in the United States, and 1 per 64 in the United Kingdom, with similar incidences throughout the world.
    
2. Is dental amalgam safe for humans?
   Dental amalgam is by far the main source of human total mercury body burden. This is proven by autopsy studies which found 2-12 times more mercury in body tissues of individuals with dental amalgam.
    
3. "Intermingled Modulatory and Neurotoxic Effects of Thimerosal and Meruric Ions on Electrophysiological Responses to GABA and NMDA in Hippocampal Neurons" was published in the peer-reviewed Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology.

10. Burbacher et al. - Studies clearly prove injected Thimerosal to be at least 3x more toxic than ingested (eaten) methylmercury.... yet the IOM fails to call for more research.
